Hi. My Carney ancestors come from Indiana too. I have not been able to
trace my Carney line further back than the 1880's, so I am trying to find
information about them before 1880. My grandfather, Pearl CARNEY (yes,
Pearl!) was born in approximately 1880 somewhere in Indiana. He hated the
name, Pearl, so he often went by the name of Peter Carney. He married Grace
Louise Jack in approximately 1900. Pearl Carney and Grace Jack had six
children: Lucille, Theodore, Alvin, Patty, Roger, and Lawrence. My father
is Alvin. He was born in Ft. Wayne in 1905, but there is no record of his
birth supposedly because of court house fire in Ft. Wayne. The family
relocated in Los Angeles, CA, in approximately 1920. Do any of these names
sound familiar to you?

Subject: [CARNEY-L] Carney in Indiana, early 1820's or 1830's
My Carney ancestor went to Indiana sometime late 1820's or 1830.
Stephen
Carney married Leah Terwilliger 27 June 1794 in Hopewell Pres. Church at
Thompson Ridge, NY. (Orange County) They are mentioned in the "History
of
Cass County, IN" by Thomas Helm as well as the "History of
Rush County,
IN" .
They are buried in Manilla Cemetery, Walker Township, Rush County.
Is
anyone researching this line?
