I checked out the original post that you are replying to, and the person mentioned that
James' father may be a Michael Carney of Bay City - except the wife name I have is
Mary Phiffen or Phiffer. I have Michael's probate papers in my files (somewhere!) and
I noted that in 1879, when Michael died, James was living in Arizona Territory. By 1883
he was back living in Michigan.
I am descended from Michael's brother Patrick Carney Sr. I have a bunch of info on my
website at
http://genealogy.billcarney.com
When the emigrated to the USA, Patrick came first, and Michael later on. In the Mar 14,
1857 edition of the New York City newspaper The Irish-American Michael posted this
"ad" trying to locate his brother:
"King's County -
Of Patrick CARNEY, a native of Shinrone, King's County, Ireland, who arrived in New
York about two years ago. When last heard from he was going to some part of the country.
Any information of him will be thankfully received by his brother, Michael CARNEY, by
addressing a few lines to the Irish-American office, 116 Nassau Street, New York."
Patrick, Michael, and brother Edward eventually wound up in Bay City, Michigan.
Bill Carney
Grand Ledge, Michigan (formerly of Bay City)

It's been over 5 years since your Carney query on
Ancestry.com so I am not sure this
message will reach you. I am descended from James Carney of Cheboygan and have
information on some of his family. I would love to hear how you and I roll to some of the
same ancestors and learn about other branches of the Carney lineage.
Please E-mail me if you get this message.
