Greetings to all my "Carrier Cousins" from Johns Island, SC. ! My name is
Donna Miller and my research is also on the W. John Carrier line.
I descend from Serena Carrier b. 1843 IL to Jonathan M. Carrier b. 1815 KY and
Sinai Cruse 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 Jonathan Carrier b. 1759/63 VA and
unknown spouse. Jonathan was the son of John (W. John) Carrier b. C1700
England and Jemima Nichols.
I have extensive research in Saline and Gallatin Counties in IL if anyone is
searching these Carriers.
I also have a dilema that I want to share with the other Carrier researchers
in hopes of finding an answer to my problem. I have lost Jonathan M. and
Sinai Cruse Carrier between the 1860 and 1880 census of Saline County, IL.!
They evidently moved to somewhere I haven't looked yet, I have searched the
surrounding counties to no avail! If any of you happen to come across them, I
would really appreciate knowing about it. It could be they moved close to some
of the other Carrier families. Wherever they went, their daughter, Serena,
and her husband George W. Rodgers must have also gone as they are also no
where to be found these years. Thanks for any insight or information you can
share with me.
Donna
