Darrell and Charmayne - My Carnahan line is supposed to have come from
County Antrim - but that place, Legoniel, is very close to County Down. It
is likely that there is a connection. I don't have anymore on the County
Down connection.
While we're on the subject of Irish/Scottish Carnahans - the chart we many
of us have seen showing the James Carnahan and Margaret Janny line back 500
years - I was told was researched by Cora Davis and Pauline Fields who went
back to Ireland and Scotland and researched it themselves. (Cora Davis
supposed to be a professional researcher also related to these Carnahans.)
However, JV Thompson says in his journals of the Jack family that he has the
Carnahan genealogy back 400 years. (This was about 100 years ago.) What JV
Thompson had on the Jacks came from Anjou - so there is suspicion that the
Carnahan line came from him also - if so it may be suspect. Anjou had a bad
habit of making up things to fill in blanks in people's genealogies.
Usually his information was partially factual - so you never know. . If
anyone else has any information on this - I'd love to hear about it. Linda
