Patrick, I have a fair amount of infomation on descendants of your ancestor Patrick
Carmichael, b. 25 Mar 1819 in South Carolina (d. 19 Sept 1900, Senoia, GA).. He married
Mary Ann Washington Speer on 29 Mar 1839 in Coweta Co., GA.
Patrick CARMICHAEL is my 4th great grand uncle. Our common ancestors are Arthur
CARMICHAEL [Sr.] and Frances BELL. His wife Mary Ann Washington Speer is also probably
a direct ancestor of mine but that has not been established (Mary E. SPEAR is the my 3rd
great grandmother, but I have not established the relationship (if any) between her and
Mary Ann Washington Speer). There was quite a bit of inter-marriages between the
Carmichaels/Speer/Thompsons in that era.)
I would be pleased to exchange my ancestry information with you as I have no information
on descendants of Patrick Carmichael / Mary Ann Washington Speer other than one son,
Thomas Patrick Carmichael. I know that Mary Ann's parents were Joseph Speer and
Elizabeth Ann Riggins, but have not been able to establish her their relationships to the
other "Speers" in our family (including my 3rd great grandmother, Mary [or
Malvina] Speers, b. 1823, m. William Houston Thompson, my 3rd great grandfather.
Look forward to hearing from you. My email address is <jimcain(a)pobox.com>.
Best regards,
