Hello everyone. I'm new to the list. I'm hoping someone here can help me.
I'm looking for info about my 3rd Great-Grandfather.
Willam Carnes was born about 1792 in Pennsylvania and died July 1867 in
Muskingum County, Ohio. He was married to Susannah Guist, daughter of Jacob
Guist and Mary Gallagher. Susannah was born about 1793 in Pennsylvania and
died 1 July 1854 and was buried in the Blue Rock Baptist Church Cemetery, in
Blue Rock, Muskingum, Ohio.
They had 4 children that I am aware of - James E. (1823-1875), John L.
(1827-1910), Rebecca Ann (abt 1833-?) and Mary Jane (abt 1835-?).
While I have been fairly successful at tracing my mothers side of the
family. William has thwarted me at every turn.
Does anyone have any info about him - especially parent's and sibling names,
where in PA he was born, etc. ?
Thanks in advance,
Todd Carnes
