There has been a lot of research on the Stafford County, VA., Carneys. If I remember
correctly there has been some descrepency of these two Carney Families. Both families have
Thomas's and I believe John's or William's as father's. I really cannot
recall which.
Your Info:William Carney (c1625-1683) m Abigail Starnell(?) , Richard Carney (c1660-1710)
m Abigail ?, Thomas Carney (c1690-1756) m Elizabeth Wright, m Sarah Clifton. Several of
Thomas's children (Absolom, Richard) moved to NC. One, Barnaby (1730-1773), is a
possible candidate for the father of my Thomas, but I have not seen enough to convince me
yet. As written by you.
I am from this line of Carneys ,Absolom who moved to South Carolina, not north Carolina.
Both families seem to tie into these same ancestors such as the starnells, Sarah
Clifton,Richard & Abigail, etc. If you look through the rootsweb and the
genealogy.com
message boards going back to 2001 -2007 you can find many of the answers you may be
looking for. There is a gentleman by the name of Dan Page, who wrote a book called the
stafford VA carney's or something like that which can be purchased at the Higgins
Books. Good luck. my email address is robincarneyoakland(a)gmail.com.It has been years now
sense I did my Carney family tree so my recall of such information has faded.
