Hello fellow Carney researchers!
I am digging into my past and need any information I can get my hands on.
I am working on my Carney line and haven't gotten very far.
My grandmother is Retha Iola Carney. Her father was Gilbert Cheney Carney.
He was born in LaGrange CO, IN in 1882. He died in 1944 in Hydro, Caddo
Co.,
OK. He married Anna Elma Miller, daughter of Joseph P. Miller and Martha
Wortinger. Two of my grandma's sisters were born there in LaGrange Co., IN.
They were Treva Miller Carney (b. 7/5/03, d. 9/15/53 Kansas City, MO) and
Opal Pauline Carney (b. 3/15/05, d. 10/5/88 Hydro, Caddo Co., OK)
Then, in 1905 or 1906, the family headed to Plains, Meade Co., KS. Gilbert
and
Anna then had the following children:
Bessie Belle Carney (b. April 29, 1907 d. October 01, 1971, Modesto, CA.)
Russel J. Carney (b. January 08, 1909 d. September 10, 1980, Hydro, Caddo
Co., OK)
Mary Anna Carney (b. October 07, 1911 d. July 22, 1998.)
Then in 1912, 13, or 14 the family moved to Hydro, Caddo Co., OK and had
these
children:
Raymond Gilbert Carney (b. December 15, 1914 d. January 05, 1915, Hydro,
Caddo Co., OK)
Owen Leonard Carney (b. February 19, 1918 d. June 15, 1988, Kansas City, MO)
Lowell Emerson Carney (b. June 13, 1921 d. October 03, 1992, Weatherford,
Custer Co., OK)
Retha Iola Carney (b. 11/18/22)
I can't seem to find anything concrete beyond Gilbert Cheney Carney. I will
put down
what I have been told:
Gilberts parents were John C. Carney and Susan A. Rowan. John C. was born
November 09, 1850
in Clay Township, Lagrange Co., IN, and died June 02, 1920 in St. Claire,
MI.
He married Susan A. Rowan on October 16, 1880
They had the following children:
Gilbert C. Carney
Anna M. Carney, d. date unknown.
Frank V. Carney, d. date unknown.
Rollin E. Carney, d. date unknown.
Roscoe Carney, d. date unknown, Infant.
Walter Carney, d. date unknown, Infant.
Ivan Carney, d. date unknown, Infant.
John C. Carney was the son of Shedrick Carney. He married Helen Unknown.
John C. had the following siblings:
Shedrick Carney,Jr
Harriet Carney
Libby Carney
Shedrick Sr is apparently the Shedrick that was one of the earliest settlers
in
the LaGrange Co, IN area. His father was apparently a John Carney.
That is all the info I have. I know it is sketchy at best.
If anyone has info on this family, I would appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks,
Dave Thiessen
