I descend thru Lott Carney, he is my ggg grandfather. His line goes upto Absolum Carney
Sr. born in Stafford Co. VA. John & Mary are his parents. John's father is
Thomas Carney, who descends thru the Maryland Carneys, and not the Norfolk VA Carney line.
However they probably will connect in Ireland.
Thomas who first shows up in Maryland 1662, had a son Thomas (other sons as well), who
appears to have migrated over to Maryland, and where there are several Carney men early
1700's Thomas, John, Reuben, Joshua and women, Mary, Elizabeth, Susannah, etc. Absolum
was born 1745, his brother Thomas was born 1741 all in Stafford Co. VA. Absolum of Pitt
C. (Bertie) NC is not the same Absolum, there is about a 20 year difference in their ages.
I have tracked both sets of families for a period of 60 years. But of course I spend
more time on Absolum from Stafford & his line and is the line that went to SC, then
some over into GA, up thru Kentucky, and then to Tenn. One son of Absolum's SR.
settled in Ohio. Willing to help get all the puzzle pieces together it would be great. a
