Matt -- Thanks for sharing your research with us.
I have been putting up topic boards for different categories for the
Carman Web Space at Rootswseb. These compliment the Query and document
boards at GenConnect, and are Your Story, Trees, Marriages, Military,
Censuses, and Photographs. They are not searchable by the Genconnect and
Genweb search engines. I cut and paste them as I do not have cgi
facilities.
This would be great -- may I post it, but I will need another category --
think there are probably too many already to really keep track of?
Miscellaneous? Index? Notes?
Thanks and let me have your comments. May take a couple of days to
implement.

I have a copy of a newspapter article about the CARMAN family.
I don't have the name or the date of the newspaper article, but you may have
some guesses. I am it's from a newspaper near Rochester, NY in the year 1931.
Remember, its a newspaper article, so don't expected to be accurate. But some
of the information may be of some value to someone.
Here is what it says:
****************************************************************
Carman Family Marks Its 300th Anniversary.
The 300th anniversary of the Carman family's arrival in America was celebrated
at Sunset Point, Durand-Eastman Park, recently by 35 descendants of John and
Florence Frodham Carman.
The couple arrived from England with other Puritans in 1631, settling at
Hempstead, Long Island. Later, Samuel and Peter Carman came into Western New
York and were amoung the pioneers of Monroe County.
These officers were elected at the reunion:
President, C.H. Carey, Livonia;
Vice-President, Edwin Reed, Rochester;
Secretary, Georgeette Willetts, Rochester;
Treasurer, Lula Hall Van Alst, Union Hill.
The 1932 reunion will take place at McPherson's Point, Conesus Lake.

I hope this provides some leads to someone.
