Don't feel embarrassed at all-we have all done the same thing a million times. Census
records can truly throw a researcher off.
My primary thrust is the Carman surname but I do have a little on the Dye family.
Charles Alexander Dye was born in Kentucky 1863. He died 1936, age 73. He married Sudie
Carman on 28 April 1881 in Perry County, Indiana. Charles was the son of John Dye and
Margaret C. Clayton. John Dye was the son of Martin Kelly Dye and Mary Polly Timberlake.
Charles and Sudie had four children:
Betty Catherine Dye born 1883, died 15 April 1972 in Louisville, Kentucky, age 88.
She married twice: 1) ? Meyers and 2) William J. Burge.
Margaret Bell Dye was born 1886 and died 15 January 1976, age 89. She married twice:
1) George Schuh and 2) ? Brown.
Ruth Dye was born 1890 and died 1920, age 30.
Robert Lee Dye born 26 September 1892.
Don't let the Indiana marriage of Charles and Sudie throw you. The Breckinridge County
folks had a habit of a marriage-honeymoon. They would cross the Ohio River into Indiana,
Illinois and marry there. They would remain there for a couple of weeks and then return to
Kentucky. Some times they would bring the marriage record back to Kentucky with them and
file it in Louisville, sometimes they just left the Return in whatever state they married
in.
The above is all that I have on the Dye Family because I only trace a female Carman down
one generation after the surrender of the surname in marriage.
I do have your Carman line all the way back so if you need help, please just ask.
