Hello all;
I'm tracking my late husbands' K/Carnes line. The earliest I have been able to
find is Grovner George C/KARNES. He was listed as a teacher,
born in OH about 1825, married Catherine MYERS 23 September 1851 & died sometime
around 1897/8 (presumably in Lancaster, Fairfield Co., OH,
where he lived with Addie WHALEY, his daughter). I have been unable to find death or
burial information on either GG or Catherine. The
surname is spelled differently in different records.... where we know it IS the same
family. They lived in Bloom Twp, Fairfield Co, OH
Their children were:
Charles, b about 1852/3 (married Jennie SARGENT & both buried at Betser
Cemetery in Fairfield Co)
Adeline "Addie", b about 1856 (married William WHALEY in 1875)
Alvoretta "Alice"or"Retta", b about 1858/9 (married John R
CLAYPOOL)
Ida M, b about 1870/71
The various censi list GG as born in OH, parents born in Vg. & Catherine also born OH,
her parents born in PA. Would greatly appreciate any
info on this family.
