Hi gang,
Do any of you have a copy of or know the whereabouts of the family history
that Gen James Madison Carnahan is supposed to have had?
If so, please let us know. Write to Bobby V. Carnahan (bcrnhn(a)juno.com)
and let him know. Thanks.

Bess,
For some reason I have not been able to determine just who the William
was that you thought might be the father of your John Carnahan born 1745.
His children you mention does not match any William in my files.,
In the recent past I have put out queries, you may have noticed it, in
regards to a letter Mrs. J.M. Carnahan wrote from Nantucket Island in
1932 wherein it states that her husbands grandfather, General James
Madison Carnahan who was born in 1810 had a history of the Carnahans
including much Scottish history and three Carnahan boys that came to
America between 1760-1770 and that they were preserving that history for
the grandchildren. There is a very strong possibility if this paper could
be located it would solve the mystery of who the father of your John
Carnahan, born 1745, was. A concerted effort should be made to locate
this history.
There has been some research done on the Edict of Nantes and since it
was overturned, there has not been found a copy of it to prove that a
Carnahan was a delegate, but that does not mean that he was not a
delegate. The effort to locate anything related to this Edict is still in
progress.
There was a prisoner, Edmond Carnachan expelled from Scotland to
Barbados in 1685. This is the earliest that I have found of a Carnahan in
America.
Another thing, about Phil Carnahan, he has done a tremendous job of
compiling availabe data on all the Carnahans he can find and this is an
invalubale work. Norman Carnahan is also doing a great job of
distributing queries and putting out the information to others to
exchange information and further our research. Donna Stieber is at
present the most effective researcher on the earliest Carnahans in
America and back to the old country.
