Ben -
You are absolutely right. I just needed to find the right Carnahan
file. Thanks for straightening me out there. I will put a copy of this one
in the Hugh file so I don't get confused again - now where did I put that
Hugh file . . . ;-)Linda

Linda,
I think that it was Adam Carnahan who lived near the
Reverand John Carnahan in Arkansas. Adam was my gg
grandfather and we have had problems separating him from
Rev. John. It appears that Adam was the son of another John
Carnahan of Logan County, KY. It is further complicated by
the fact that Rev. John spent some time in Logan Co and both
were preachers in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. I am
fairly confident that Adams father John decended from
Captain James in Pennysvilaina while Rev. John decended from
Hugh in NC.

| Emma -
| If you look at my post this morning - you'll see Aaron
Carnahan and
| Elvira Mitchell. I had a conversation about this line
with a descendant of
| Aaron about a year ago. If I am remembering right -Aaron
lived within 5
| miles of Rev. John Carnahan at one time which really
confused the matter.
| Though I haven't done extensive research on this line -
Aaron's marriage to
| Elvira Mitchell is in Nicholas Co., Kentucky which would
certainly make him
| a very likely son of James Carnahan and Jane Freyer.
According to my
| research, they were the only Carnahans in Nicholas Co.,
Ky at that time.
