Hi Betty,
Nice to hear from and that your brother Cecil is NOT the same one associated
with the NUMA (Halbert's) book.
Mary Ferrill was in TX because she was married to Tom Ferrill and living
there with a daughter. I think they were in the 1860 Washington Co, Census.
Tom died (some say in the Civil War), then she remarried to Jesse. I have
her marriage certificate also. You are correct that Mary was born and died
in KY. I was unable to find any birth information on their children. I
assume that they were born in Washington Co but could not find any records
there.
As for Jesse's birthplace, I believe it was in Va, not in Overton Co, TN.
The Overton Co Jesse is/has been confused with our Jesse. So far no one
knows where he was born. If Jesse is the son of John Carmack, John came
from Washington Co, VA prior to Bledsoe Co which is where Jesse first shows
up. Thus I believe he was born in VA.
I do not have a source for Tom Green's birthdate, just what was provided to
me.

Hi Dale--I've been gone so haven't written for awhile.
What I am writing about today is the Carmack book you were telling us
about. I have a brother named Cecil Ray Carmack (named after our father
Cecil
Eugene), who is of course descended from Jesse Carmack. He has not written
this book but I thought the name exactly the same was quite a coincidence.
From your description of the book it sounds like Halberts type and
here in
Santa Barbara the genealogists and genealogical society just laugh when you
mention Halbert. I have seen the Phillips book by them and it is just lists
of Phillips--an absolutely useless book.
With your help in locating Jesse Carmack and Mary Ferrel in Texas I
have
obtained their marriage certificate showing married 23 Jul 1863, Washington
Co, TX. What Mary Ferrell was doing in Texas to be married is a mystery as I
have her born and dying in Christian Co. KY. Have also obtained son Thomas
Green's death certificate showing death 12 Dec 1946. It also shows his birth
date as 7 Jun 1863, which I believe is a mistake made by the informant who
is
L. H. Carmack, or the son of Thomas Green by wife Mattie Hale. Now I am
looking for birth certificate of Thomas to verify 1864 correct year of
birth.
I will assume he was born in Wash. Co, Tx. Am also looking for birth
documentation of Jesse Ann Carmack--I have it as Livingston, OC, Tenn. Do
you
have that information?
Enjoy the Carmack mailing list. I don't know where most of it fits in
but I keep it for future.
