On Doyle Baker's descendancy chart of the Wimberlys, it looks like that
Elizabeth, daughter of Levi Wimberly (#19) was the mother of my William
W. Carney (alias William C. Wimberly).
This all comes from the bastardy bonds of Bertie Co., NC.
Thomas Carney had to post a bond in 1781 for having a child by Elizabeth
Wimberly. The security was his brother Absalom Carney. Thomas and
Absalom moved to Pitt Co., about 1794. William did not go. William's census
records of 1820, 1830 and 1840 of Caldwell Co., KY, all put him as being b.
about 1780 or 1781.
William C. Wimberly had to post a bond in Oct 1802 for having a child by Jerusha
Barns. No security was listed.
William W. Carney had to post a bond in Feb 1803 for having a child by Jerusha
Barnes. This time Levy Wimberly was his security.
In addition, in May 1802 William C. Wimberly posted a bond for a child with
Christian Moore and again one of his securities was Levy Wimberly.
As William used both names, it helps to identify him. So it appears that his
mother's father had to be his security.
William W. Carney is in the 1803 tax list of Bertie Co. He then moved to
Christian Co. KY, and from then on uses William W. Carney on his will of
1839, probated in 1845.
The 1852 death records of Caldwell Co., KY, say that Wiley Carney decd was a
son
of William W. Carney and Catherine Moore. I know that there were two large
Moore
families in Bertie.
Another child was my 3rd great grandmother Jennett Carney Dunning b. 1802.
Can anyone prove that this theory is incorrect?
