REF: Martha Carney Parker Stagner (1834-?)
Hello Carney List Members,
This is my first message to the Carney-List. My name is Rhea Stagner Das
and I am a great granddaughter of Martha Carney Parker Stagner. I am
looking for more information about Martha Carney and her parents. What I
know so far is briefly summarized next.
The genealogical research of Robert McAlear established that my great
grandfather, William Roland Stagner, married Martha C. Researcher
M.C. Shumate identified Martha C as Martha Carney, and further
showed that Martha Carney was first married to William Pleasant Parker,
by whom she had two children. She was widowed in 1856 and married my
great grandfather William Roland Stagner in 1859 (genealogical
research courtesy of David E. Stagner, M.C. Shumate, and Steve J.
Shults.). By her second marriage she had five children who lived to be
adults, including my grandfather, William Archie Stagner (genealogical
research courtesy of Robert McAlear). Martha Carney Parker Stagner, her
husband William Roland Stagner, and their five children, are shown in
the 1880 Federal Census of Dent County, Missouri (information courtesy
of M.C. Shumate).
Martha Carney was reported to have been born in Salem, Dent County,
Missouri, in 1834, and was the sister of John Carney, Edmond Carney,
and Sylvester Carney. Their parents were Richard Carney Jr. and Julia
Ann Robertson Carney (genealogical sources are M.C. Shumate and Steve
J. Shults).
Some vital statistics from Ozark Heritage Vol. III Dent County,
Missouri, Area Cemeteries and Families 1851-1994 for John Carney and
Edmond Carney are given at the end of this message. Of personal
interest to me was the fact that Edmond Carney had a great granddaughter
who was named Ada Rhea Carney (born sometime after 1922). Also I noted
that Martha named her first child by her second marriage Julia Ann,
after her mother, Julia Ann Robertson Carney.
I would welcome any more precise information that you might have, or
could direct me to, regarding Richard Carney Jr. and Julia Ann Robertson
Carney. Where and when were they born? Where and when did they die, and
where were they laid to rest? (The information which I have from M.C.
Shumate and Steve J. Shults gives Richard Carney Jr.s birth as about
1805 and Julia Ann Robertson Carney as being born in Tennessee.)
Id also like to know the actual birth date of Martha Carney Parker
Stagner as well as any information about her death.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY REQUEST. REFERENCE BELOW.
