So far I don't see any connection to my Montgomery County Carneys. I am told that
there are at least 3 apparently unconnected Carney lines, all of which lived in southern
VA, NC or SC about 1800. I know little about the other two.

I believe that LeGrand V. Carney was the son of LeGrand Hargis Carney. William Carney was
LeGrand Hargis' father. LeGrand Hargis Carney and his wife, Catherine Lytle Carney,
had a fine home in Murfreesboro, TN.
Mary Carney Lightfoot, who died in 1955 and who is a descendant of William Joseph Carney,
father of the above William Carney,was my mother's aunt by marriage. Mary
Carney's husband was Frederick Lightfoot, and they lived in Somerville, TN.
I'm uncertain of the various counties in TN--hope this helps.
My mother's middle name was LeGrand, and I've been unable to uncover the source of
the name. Several members of the Carney and Lightfoot families have it. LeGrand Hargis
Carney seems to have been the first Carney to bear the name.
