Norman .. I have been studying the Orphans Court Documents you posted concerning Adam and
Sarah Carnahan in Westmoreland County PA. Are you able to give me further information
concerning their son David K and their daughter Elizabeth who was a single woman? Can you
help me a bit with Adam and Sarah's birth dates or those of David K and Elizabeth?
I have a David K. Carnahan born about 1805 or 6 in PA. Also an Elizabeth born in PA in the
late 1790's or early 1800's depending on the census we search. I am curious if
these two could be Adam's children.
Living next to David K. in Iowa in 1855 is Mrs. William (Fanny Carnahan) Woods. After
David's death in 1864, Elizabeth Carnahan appears on the census residing with the
Woods until her death which appears in the 1880 mortality schedule in Iowa.
I have a photo of Fanny Carnahan Woods born about 1814 and I believe I have a photo of
Elizabeth. I wonder if Fanny might not be a niece of Elizabeth and David K.
Thank you for any thoughts on this research brick wall.
