Subject: Peter Carnes, b 180? Grave found
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Several folks on this list are descendants of Peter Carnes and Elizabeth
Collum. He has been somewhat of a mystery man to us, at least as to where he
died and was buried. He was estimated to have been born in c1795 but his
tombstone says 180? (this part flaked off). Last week I located his grave in
the old Van Wert Cemetery in Rockmart, Polk, GA. Elizabeth lies next to him.
Peter was born 180?, NC and Elizabeth was born 1808, maybe in Holland. They
were married 11/13/1817 in Franklin County, GA. Potential children are
Junnie b 1820 (yes, I know a 12 or 13 year old mother is unusual ... perhaps
an earlier marriage by Peter), James Madison b 2/28/1826, Greene Berry (my
line) b 7/31/1827, Margaret b 1832, Patrick (could this be Joseph or Joseph
P. ?) b 1834, Mary b 1835, Sarah b 1839, Martha A. b 1841, Bud b 1842,
Luginy, b 1849.
I have quite a bit of data on James Madison and Greene Berry, but not much on
the other siblings. In addition, I have some data on the ancestry of Peter
and his siblings.
If anyone can add to or edit this, I would love to hear from you. I will be
happy to share what I have.

Information that I have found:
Margarett J. (maiden name ?) Rowe born Jan 5, 1834 and died October 14, 1914; buried at
Mt. Carmel Church in Norcross, Gwinnett Co., Ga. Don't know her husbands name. Her
sons information is below:

Rowe, Elmer - son; age 14
On the 1900 Census he is listed as Joshua M. Rowe; on 1930 Census he is listed as James
M. Rowe and is living in the household of his son in law and is a widow; on his tombstone
he is listed as Jerry Madison Rowe. on marriage records he is Row, J.M.G. on his sisters
marriage records he is listed as James Madison Rowe (this is found in the Rowe/Ball Family
Bible). His name changes on everything we find on him. Thank goodness we know his wife
and children.
Now the questions:
1. Could Margaret J. Rowe (born 1834) be Margaret Carnes (born 1832) ?
2. If she is then maybe James Madison Rowe her son was named for her brother?
3. Does any one have any information on Mallie Carnes, that is listed as Aunt in the 1920
Census?
Any Help will be appreciated this has been one of my brick walls for years, I hope some
one can HELP!!!!!
