Bobby : Your John could well be one of the family. They were all named
John, David, James, William, Elizabeth, etc.Your David, b 1747 could be the
brother of the missing John. John had a brother b 1747 in Ireland.

Sarah,
I'm wondering if your John Carnahan fits with "my" John Carnahan. My
grgrgrandfather was John B Carnahan (b.1824 in Allegheny Co., PA) who
married
Margaret Robertson. I know he had a brother named William and a
sister
named
Elizabeth, but no about no other siblings. John B and Margaret had a
son
named William R. Carnahan who was born in 1851 in PA.
I do believe John B had an uncle named John who was born in Illinois and
married Nancy Hill.
John B also had a grandfather named David who had a brother named John. I
know nothing about him. He may have been born in Ireland as that is where
David was born in 1747.
Anyone sound like "your" John Carnahan?
