Joseph Carmack, b 1806 Overton Co, TN, to Cornelius and Letitia Carmack, came to Oregon in
1845. He married Mary "Polly Ann" Eldridge of Overton Co, TN in 1824. They had
several children in Iowa then came west. Polly Ann died in 1847 after the birth of son
George W.in Polk Co., OR. Joseph then married Lovisa Lawrence Davis in 1850. They were
divorced in 1855. Joseph disappears. Two of his sons are buried in Polk Co, OR of which
the youngest, George W. died at age 19 in the year 1866. By the age 13, George had
inherited land from someone in Arkansas and his guardianship had been taken over by his
brother, James R. Carmack. Would anyone be able to shed some light on a lost Joseph
Carmack. I believe he left Oregon but the trail grows cold. He would have been abt 50.
