Hi Donna: I saw your post on the Carrier list which read as follows:
I descend from Serena Carrier b. 1843 IL to Jonathan M. Carrier b. 1815 KY
and Sinai Cruise b. 1810/20 TN married 1835 Gallatin Co. IL. Jonathan was
the son of Henry Carrier b. c1795 NC and Elizabeth Hays b. 1780/90 married
1805 Garrard Co. KY. Henry was the son of John (W. John) Carrier b. c1700
England and Jemima Nichols.
I am in the process of plugging Carrier information into my data base which
I got from Helynn Carrier's Study Paper dated 1996, and it shows Henry
Carrier b. c1780, not 1795, and married to Nancy ? on ? date, with no
mention of his marrying an Elizabeth Hays in 1805. Also, it shows Henry as
the son of John (not Jonathan) Carrier, Jr. with John Carrier Jr. b. c1728
not 1759/63, and his spouse is shown as Mary Morreall. Also, the wife of
W. John Carrier is Jemima Nicholas, not Nichols.
Can you tell me where you got your information so I can determine which is
correct? I haven't secured a copy of Helynn's paper recently, so there
could have been changes I'm not aware of. My direct line is W. John
Carrier's daughter, Martha, so I don't know much about your line except for
what I found in the Study Paper. Also, it appears by notations made by
Helynn in the Paper that she extracted a lot of her information from
Georgie Armentrout's book and various other sources. I hate to pass on
incorrect data, and since I plan to print this line out in book form one of
these days, I'd like it to be as accurate as possible. Would appreciate
your input. Thanks. Ginny
