Here is some information I received and thought I'd pass on to the list.
The interesting thing here (to me) is that it states JW Carmack (son of
Jesse Ann Carmack, b 1797) was born in TX. Most of what I have seen usually
states he was born in KY about 1870. I do not have an accurate birthdate.
Jesse's widow, Mary sold the property in TX in April 1869. It is unknown
when she actually arrived back in KY. Thus JW could have been (and probably
was) born before arriving in KY.
I did go through all the books on Crittenden (county KY),
Hopkins, Livingston, and Webster. Didn't find much, but here it is:
Did you know that J. W. CARMACK was born in Texas?
