There is great deal of information about our ancestor, Cornelius CARMACK I. Some
of it is proven by actual records, and some of it is arrived at through
estimation, calculation or reasonable assumption. As in a jury trial, this type
of circumstantial evidence is admissable in genealogy as long as it is so
labeled. As all of us must admit, it is often helpful to point us in the right
direction, but must always be subject to question as new evidence surfaces.
This is the start of a thread to establish the reasoning behind some of the
unproven data about our Cornelius CARMACK I.
1. Why is his date of birth given as 1681? Should it appear as "ca 1681",
"est
1681" or (1681?)?
2. Why is Scotland thought to be his place of birth?
3. Why is wife Guien's last name thought to have been COREM? Was this not her
first marriage?
4. Why is Christopher CARMACK thought to have been the father of Cornelius I?
