Hi Bobby,
I don't think my John and your John are connected. I've only been able to
trace my Carnahan's back to VA so far, the earliest I have is a John born in
the mid 1700's about 1760 or so. The only info I've been able to find on
him is that he was born in VA. But it is also possible that he was born in
PA. I strongly feel that this John is connected to the Carnahan brothers
from Ireland, and just haven't been able to get back that far with any
connections.
It sounds like your John may be connected to the branch that went to TN,
there was a Carnahan family in IL that came from TN. They were in the same
area as the ones from KY. I have seen the name Nancy Hill before, but I
can't find it now of course, (I'm looking for it so it won't jump out for
me).
All these names can you spinning, if you can't ID them by birth date, you'll
get dizzy real quick.
If I come across anything I'll let you know. I just remembered, there was a
line of Carnahan's that were in the Sagamon Co, IL area, they came through
Ohio, from PA.
Sorry I couldn't be of any help.
Sarah Harris
