I came across this while researching both Carmack and Susong families. The
quote is from "Goodspeed's History of Tennessee" page 1303, Sullivan Co,
TN reprinted in 1972 from "Goodspeed's History of Tennessee 1887".
"J. S. Carmack, farmer, was born in Washington Co, Va., August 8, 1830, the
son of Cornelius and Martha (Susong) Carmack, the former born at the above
place in January 1800, the son of William, a Pennsylvanian. The next
ancestor, John, came from England to Pennsylvania, and was the ancestor of
all of this name west of the Potomac."
According to the other parts of the article (above), William Carmack died
in Washington Co, leaving ten children, of whom Cornelius was second. The
article also said that J. S. Carmack was the fourth of ten children of
Cornelius Carmack and Martha "Patsy" Susong. I don't have a complete list
of either of these families. Perhaps someone can supply them.
