Elizabeth,
Do you know if this Carne has any connections in New Jersey.
My Samuel Swazey Carnes, part of the Jersey Settlers, came from New
Jersey about 1794, to the Natchez, Mississippi area. His great grandmother
was the older sister of the Reverends Samuel and Richard Swazey that
colonized the Natchez area in 1774.
Samuel Swazey Carnes' father, John Carnes born 1735, died in Morris
County, New Jersey. Don't know where he was born. The Mormons have him as
having been born Southold, Long Island---that was where the Swazeys, etc.
came from ---but I have not found any evidence of Long Island and think they
may have assumed that.
Do you of any connections between this Carne and the Carnes I am
describing?
Forgive me if I have asked you this before---am not as organized as I
would like to be about mailing lists.
