Hi Emmy - Mark Clairmont here from San Francisco.
I understand your Family Tree now much better. You and I both start with William Carman
(1662-1736). From his sons, you follow William Carman and I follow John Carman. Your
tree follows William Carman (1662-1736) etc........ to William Synder Carman (1851-1934).
I follow John Carman (1699) & wife Rachel Burton (???). They had a son William Burton
Carman (1740 - 1766) and his son William Burton Carman Jr. (dates unknown)or brother John
Carman had Anne Carman (1787-1868). Anne Carman married Stephen Sparks (1774-1850). They
had son John Burton Sparks (1811-1865) who had Maria Sparks (1843-1928) who married my
GGGrandfather Louis D. Clairmont. You can see I have a short history with the Carman and
Burton families.
This is complicated trying to sort out between the Carmans and Burtons and which John and
WIlliam belongs to which family. No wonder I am so confused. I see you have William
Burton Carman as a son of WIlliam Carman. In my family tree, I show him under John &
Rachel Carman. Could there have been two William Burton Carmans - one under John and one
under William?
I'll mail you copies of my documents - you can see how they will help you with your
tree.
Mark
