Emma,
I have copies of some letters he wrote back to Tennessee. Do you have
copies of them. They are dated from the 1830's and 1840's.
John Fahland
I don't know where he is in 1840.

Subject: [CARNAHAN-L] Hiram Carnahan - son of Hugh Carnahan & Elizabeth
Tennison
Hi Everyone,
Am trying again for some census records for the Hiram Carnahan family.
Have
looked before and am still missing some. I am not having much luck so am
wondering if the indexers didn't miss their name in some way and I have
not
been able to figure it out.
So.....
On Hiram Carnahan - b. 22 July 1820 in Rutherford Co., Tn and d. 25 Jan
1896
Clatsop Co., Oregon.
I have him as a child with his widowed mother in 1830 in Rutherford Co.,
Tennessee.
But, I haven't found him in 1840. His mother and several siblings are in
Missouri by this time.
In 1846 he started for Oregon from Missouri.
Then in 1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880 he, his wife, and children are in
Clatsop
Co., Oregon.
Am hoping someone has found him in 1840. I am wondering if perhaps he
stayed in Tennessee when the rest of the family moved to Missouri.
Thanks and take care - Emma
