As we celebrate the birth of our nation,
let us not forget that the Carman Family
supported both sides in War of Independence.
Even within an immediate family as the
two sons of Benjamin Carman took opposing
positions. Colonel Samuel Carman fought
for the cause of Independence, while his
brother Richard Carman did not.
Richard Carman took his family to Canada
during the great exodus of Loyalists to
the crown. Generations of this line lived
in Canada and then many also returned to
new nation known as the United States of
America.
Happy 4th of July!
