Hi Norm,
Over the years of going to Overton County TN, we have tryed to locate more
on the Carr family without having any luck, we tryed to locate Carr
families in cemeteries, but one thing good going now is Overton County has
a Archival Program, they are busy reading, cleanning and putting their old
records in order but when we started these same records were in the
basement of the old hospital with no supervision. I attended a workshop in
October in Nashville at the Archives, Ronald Dishman that I have worked
with over the years was there also so we got to visit. When we found the
old Carmack cemtery only two or three graves were left readable, Jessie
Murphy and I were able to get a headstone for your Cornelius father of
John, with donations from Carmack Cousins all over the US we were able to
fence the old cemetery. Did you ever know or correspond with Nelson Ross
and his brothers? Nelson did a lot of research and I don't know if he is
still living, Junita Martin in Stephenville we visited with her on our
visit to Stephenville. I will try to get in touch with Ronald Dishman or
someone from Overton County to see if they have found anything new on the
Carr family.

Hi cousins,
I know a lot of you out there have oodles of Overton County records. I have
the date of 22 May 1822 as the marriage date of my GG Grandfather, John
Wesley Carmack,( son of Cornelius of 1759) and Susannah (Susan) Carr. This
marriage supposedly took place in Overton County and their first three
children were born there...those being Timothy C., Fannie S., and Lettie
Harriett. My quest is to find just ONE individual to connect to Susannah
Carr, hopefully, her parents. Susannah was born on 18 Feb, 1804, likely
somewhere in VA. I am not sure what marriage licenses show, but mine shows
parent names of each party. If someone has access to such a document, I
would greatly appreciate any leads you can pass on to me! Yehaw!!! and
thanks ,
I have tried the CARR list but nobody has come through for me yet on
Susannah.
