On a visit to "My Old Kentucky Home" in Kentucky about 1992, we saw exhibits. A
watch and a scent bottle. There was a painting of a lady of Carnes descent. Is anyone
familiar with this Carnes family?
We took notes as follows:
General Patrick Carnes, Great Grandfather of Mrs. John Rowan, Jr., Member of the staff of
Gen. Geo Washington and a member of the Order of Cincinnati. [Watch in case on 2nd floor
of Rowan House (Our Old Kentucky Home).
On a shelf in Our Old Kentucky home was a scent bottle belonging to Rebecca Carnes Rowan,
daughter of Senator from Baltimore, Maryland. She was a great niece of Francis Scott Keys.
Buried in Baltimore.
