Lynne:
I would also be interested if you find a Shelby Co., IN, connection as my ggg-grandfather,
Joshua CARNEY, b. Jan. 13, 1826, OH or PA, m. Matilda NIGH Sept. 23, 1847, Shelby Co., IL,
and d. Jul. 15, 1883, probably near Pana, Christian Co., IL. According to one of the
censuses, Joshua's father was born in NY and his mother was b. in NC. Following are
excerpts from some postings on this subject which can be found in the 2000 archives of
this list.
Joshua's son Jacob Stover CARNEY, my gg-grandfather, was b. Aug. 21, 1864, Macon Co.,
MO. Joshua also reportedly served in a Missouri regiment during the Civil War, but I have
not yet been able to find any proof of this. Shortly after the Civil War, I find Joshua
and his family living on a farm near Pana, Christian Co., IL, which is still owned by his
great-grandson today.

Valentine P. Carney, born 1809, possibly in Virginia. ...

Subject: [CARNEY-L] CARNEY and FIX Families of Shelby Co., IN
This is in response to Bill CARNEY's posting yesterday for Carol OLSON
(solson(a)planetkc.com). This is my FIX line, and very possibly also my CARNEY
line. See my home page through the hyperlink listed below. Under the report
titled "User Home Page Genealogy Report: Ancesters of Susan Elaine 'Sue'
CEARLOCK", see Generation 8, people 150, Philip FIX, and 151, Abigail
HAYES/HAYS, and their children. Child 10 is Susan FIX who married John
Valentine CARNEY. I am descended from child 3, Cynthia FIX, who married John
NEIGH. Under Generation 7 you will see that #74 John NEIGH and #75 Cynthia
FIX's third child, #37, Matilda NIGH, m. #36 Joshua CARNEY. It seems very
likely that John Valentine CARNEY and Joshua CARNEY were closely related to
each other. According to my records, James Aaron FIX who married Margaret
VAN BENTHUYSEN was the sixth child of #150, Philip FIX, and #151, Abigail
HAYES/HAYS, and therefore a brother to Susan FIX who married John Valentine
CARNEY. What is your source that Susan is a daughter to James instead of a
sister? I would be interested in corresponding with anyone else who may be
researching these lines.
