Hey all you Carrier Cousins!
I joined about a month ago, but have been reading the e-mails from everyone. Still not
through all of them. I am Louise Carrier Sheatz, I descend from Thomas & Martha,
Thomas & Susannah Johnson, Thomas & Mary Peters, Thomas & Mary Watrous, Thomas
V. & Hannah Bancroft Dickinson, Darius & Eliza Hetrick, John & Sarah Baird,
John Elmer & Mary Alice Gearhart, David Elmer & Clara Emma Reem, then me.
I am actually lookng for anyone in my line. Also, the Michigan Carriers. My
Great-Grandfather John ( b. 1834 in PA d. 1914) went to Michigan, probably looking for
timber. He & 4 of his brothers had timber & quite a bit of money (alas, none left
for me or mne), They last settled in Troy (now Summerville, PA) At one time John & a
man named Bond had a lumber business on the Allegheny River in Sharpsburg, PA, above
Pittsburgh. I have him in the 1870 census in Jefferson Co., PA & he isn't with
his wife in 1880 census. 1900 census, she is divorced. So John must have gone to
Michigan between 1870 & 1900. While there, he had a son Edward, I am told John was
married in Michigan. Any one in Michigan know of an Edward Carrier whose father, John
was born in PA?
