Hi LuAna,
Correct - Based on court records Andrew's parents were Hugh Carnahan and Mary.
And based on those same court records Hugh Carnahan and Mary had Andrew, Sarah, John, and Mary. They certainly could have had more but those are the only ones we have identified.
And sure... it is possible that Hugh was born in Ireland, or Scotland, or he could even have been born in Maryland or Pennsylvania. We just don't know. We really don't even know his age range as he died before the 1790 census. The same goes for Mary. We have no idea of her age or where she was born. The only clue is that Andrew Carnahan, in his Rev. War pension application says that he was born on 11 June 1762 in Baltimore Co., Maryland.
And you are right about Rutherford. It is a county in Tennessee. Rutherford Co., Tennessee was formed on 25 Oct 1803 out of Davidson Co., Tennessee. Andrew Carnahan is shown on the tax rolls for Davidson Co., Tennessee in 1787. However, in later census records he is shown in Rutherford Co., Tennessee.
Am trying to put some other information together for you.
Hope this helps a bit.
Take care - Emma

Sorry, Emma, I meant to say it's Hugh's parents that are unknown, not Andrew's. It has been established that Andrew's parents were Hugh Carnahan and Mary, correct? And the children for Hugh Carnahan and Mary were Andrew, Sarah, John, and Mary, correct?
So is it still possible that Hugh Carnahan was born in Scotland or Ireland do you know? Was his wife, Mary, born in Maryland?
According to your records, was Andrew born in Maryland or Tennessee? I have his birth place Rutherford, Davidson Co, TN however, to my knowledge there is no town of Rutherford in Davidson Co, TN -- I believe it should actually be Rutherford Co, TN. What do you have?
Thanks so much for your patience with me.
Happy trails,

I have been researching the Carnahans of Cumberland and Westmoreland Counties for many years now - and I hope that you will permit me a word of caution here. DAR records and biographies of the Carnahans are notoriously inaccurate. Bob recently mentioned the DAR record of James Carnahan who married Jane (Jennie) Freyer. I have never found any evidence that this James served in the Revolution. If any of you have, please let me know. There were several James that did and they have been confused in biographies and DAR records over the years.
While all of the Carnahan families did not use a "traditional" naming pattern - they were very consistent in naming their children after each other. That is why we have several Johns, James, Williams and Adams about the same age. In my experience, the easiest way to straighten them out is to research not just the Carnahan families but allied families as well. I have had some of the best success researching the families around them. The Scotch-Irish were very clannish - and that can be a big help in researching them.
I hope this helps a little. Linda

Bob - I think if you dig into the Bourbon and Nicholas Co., KY records (including census records) - you will be able to see what I mean. This was Cora Lynn Davis' line (a Carnahan researcher from the late 1800's and early 1900's) and a lot of research has been done on it.
People did not move around much in those days - Aaron would have been living near his family. One of the earliest records we have for him is when he married Elmira Mitchell 18 Dec 1806 in Nicholas Co., KY. So first thing to do is to search those Carnahan families in Nicholas Co. to see if he appears to fit.
I have a sheet on David Carnahan (m) Debora Thornhill, I would like to know
more about Debra Thornhill. Bob C. David is a brother to James Harvey

Aaron Carnahan lived and married in Nicholas Co., Kentucky. There was only one Carnahan family in Nicholas Co. - the family of James Carnahan and Jane Freyer. Have you followed the trail of the James and Jane (Freyer) Carnahan family? I don't want to make this more confusing to you - but it seems pretty straight-forward to me.

Hi Darrell,
Am responding to an old message but just saw this one. Sorry I didn't catch it when you posted.
Lee Thomas Bradford Carnahan never married an Iverson. He married Mary Chilton on 19 Dec 1872 and then married Julia Ann Leach on 24 June 1875.
I think you have him confused with his older brother James Newton Carnahan. There are some folks with information in the ancestry world connect site who indicate that James Newton Carnahan married a Iverson. That isn't correct either.
James Newton married 1st to Leo Dicia Johnston. He then married Mary Ann Jinkins. Mary Ann Jinkins had 2 previous marriages to Asa Monroe Ivester and David Solomon.
Hope this helps a bit.

So what this boils down to is that Andrew Carnahan's parents are unknown, right? Is it possible his parents were born in Ireland or Scotland then?

Ewing Carnahan b. 1818 d. 1869 was a brother of James Porter Carnahan. As far as I know, James Porter Carnahan's marriage to Fannie Phelps was his 4th marriage and the date I have for that marriage is Jan. 19, 1867. What I have is that Ewing Carnahan and Elizabeth Eunie Murphy had 9 children, and James born in 1845, was the 3rd of these 9 children and your gg grandfather, George Washington, was the 6th child.

I have a marriage date of Janury 19, 1867 for James Carnahan born 1845-46 in Warrick Co, IN and Fanny Phelps. Do you have that marriage date?
Is James Carnahan actually James Porter Carnahan, the son of Ewing Carnahan born February 3, 1818 in AL and his mother was Elizabeth Eunice Murphy born April 2, 1821 in KY? Ewing Carnahan and Elizabeth Eunice Murphy are my GG-Grandparents. I descend through their son George Washington Carnahan born March 6, 1850 in Warrick Co, IN.

2) Are his siblings James Porter, William H., Martha, John, Zadok, Ephraim Edward, Mary Jane, Jackson Steele, Matilda Ann, and Samuel King?

Thank you Emma for your swift and kind reply. Which Carnahan do you descend from?
My GG-Grandfather was Ewing Carnahan, I'm certain of that. And I'm certain that his son, George Washington Carnahan, was my G-Grandfather, and his daughter, Ida Florence Carnahan Drake was my grandmother.
Is it safe for me to claim Andrew Carnahan and Elizabeth Margaret Billingsley as the parents of John Carnahan [wife Sarah Dickey]? And John Carnahan and Sarah Dickey as the parents of my GG-Grandfather Ewing Carnahan? Or is that lineage still unresolved?
