Hello to all and Happy Easter. I am looking for informantion on my
Grgrandfather David Charles Carnahan. He was born- I believe- Sept. 25, 1867
in Washington Township, Daviess County, Indiana and died July 11, 1935 in
Terre Haute, Vigo County, Indiana and is buried in Lewis, Indiana. The 1870
census has him as 5 years old and the 1880 census has him as 16 years old.and
an adopted son of Wilson and Rebecca Carnahan all in Daviess County. Wilson
died in 1879 and he is living with Rebecca and siblings. In his marriage
certificate in 1886 he lists his age as 26. The 1900 census in Coles County,
Illinois has him as born Sept. 1867 as does his 2nd marriage certificate and
his obit. He was a Baptist minister in Lewis, Indiana and Terre Haute,
Indiana and a traveling preacher in Illinois. I do not know if he is adopted
or not but am concerned about the early census ages vs. the later dates. I
will be in both counties this May to do research but it would be great if
anyone might have some more info or questions for me.
Thanks
Deborah
