friends of my Carnahan family of Westmoreland, PA though - so I wonder if there is a
connection there. Linda

I have another one for you.
from - A History of Knox County, Ohio, from 1779 to 1862 inclusive by A.
Banning Norton - pub. 1862
"The most numerous families in this township are the McKees, Waddles, Halls,
and Blairs, descendants of early settlers, who cleared the way for the present.
Charles McKee, emigrated from Ireland, with fourteen children, about 1808.
Alexander mcKee settled in this county in 1809; he resides on his old place on
Big Jelloway, where was once an Indian camp; and when he first settled there,
sixty-five Indians called at his hut, drank metheglin with him, and they had
a jovial time all around.
The Halls, Soverneses, Pinkertons, Waddles, and Stewards have also been
plenty in Brown. John Carghnan (prounced Carnahan) was wild Irishman of much note
about 1826; he was a warm-hearted, impulsive creature; and 'faith, an' he
was a knowledgeable mon'. Many anecdotes are quoted of him, which we have not
room to produce."
Sure wish this author had chosen to include some of those stories....
Take care - Emma
