Hi Bess,
Did you ever find out the ID of the people in that picture that I sent you awhile back? It
is the one that Carroll sent me, which he got at a Carnahan Reunion.
Carroll is still trying to get that information too.
I still beleive what I was originally told, that the picture has my gg
grandfather and his wife,(William John Carnahan 1813-1860 and
Rachel "Nelson"1809-1877). He is the one with the 10 mile long beard.
Abner Carnahan(abt1812-1873) and his wife Mary Polly "Raney"
(abt1824-1888) also in the photo.
My great grandparents Wm Scott Carnahan(3-4-1847/12-1-1907) and his wife to be Lydia
"Raney" Carnahan(9-1853/10-23-1910), are also suppose to be in that photo, but
they were quite young at that time.
I beleive that photo date has to be in the spring or summer of 1860 because William John
died in Nov. of 1860.
I have found two pictures of Lydia, one when she was young and one where she was old.
I haven't had ANY luck finding a picture of the great grandfather though.
