I have a John Carver who was born in Ohio about 1827. He came to Morgan County Missouri
before 1850 when he is shown in the Census. His last child was born in 1857 and we have
no trace of him since. His wife remarried in 1864 so he was probably dead (or divorced)
by then. We did find something about a John Carver being in Jail at Jefferson City,
Missouri. Could that have been yours? Jefferson City is only about 50 mi from the area
he lived in Morgan County, MO. We have no proof if he is ours or not. Do you know
anything about how yours died or where he is buried? They could both be the same John
Carver. Mary in Missouri
