This is my branch of the family. My mom's father was Samuel Sheldon Carman.
It took me five years to get beyond Grandpa. He was orphaned when he was
eleven years old so my Mom and her siblings knowledge of the family was very
limited. I have most of the information fairly well documented from
censuses, county histories, obituaries, county and state records. You will
see below that I have run into several dead ends. If you have information
that would fill in the holes, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.
If you have corrections, I would also like to hear from you.
