Do you know what path your Carney's took through KY? My Carneys settled in Hart
County, not far from yours in Big Clifty. Were they Catholic, or protestant? My
Carney's were from Roanoke, VA, then went to Fentress County TN around 1840, then up
to Hart County, KY around 1904 I think.

My great-grandfather, John Watt Carney (b. 1834 in Ireland), lived in Big Clifty, KY
according to the 1880 census. He married Margret Ellen Hanson (b. 1843 in
Maryland/Virginia). She died in 1929 in Paducah, KY. Together they had six children:
Mollie (1863), Maggie (1868), Lizzie (1872), Matthew (1873), Fannie (1876), and Charlie
(1882). Maggie was my grandmother (Margaret Carney, 1868-1952) who married Stonewall
Jackson Gardner (from Paducah).
According to one record, John Carney immigrated from Galway in 1848 (one of the famine
ships), but I've found no record of him, either there or here. I know he died sometime
between 1880 and 1900, probably in Kentucky, but again there is no record of that. Any
connections out there?
