I don't know how this particular Aden Carver fits into my family tree, but my 3rd
great grandparents, William R. & Sophia Dowd (Douge?) Martin were listed as living in
the household of Aden Carver on the 1850 census of Cherokee Co., NC. (They lived in the
section that became Clay Co., NC in 1861.) No wife was listed with Aden.
On the census Aden's age was 67 years old, which means he would probably have been
born around 1783 or 1784. BUT I don't know where. He was not listed on the 1840
Cherokee Co. NC census; therefore, he must have moved to the area between the 1840 and
1850 censuses.
I'm only guessing, but I believe Aden Carver was my 3rd great grandmother, Sophia Dowd
Martin's grandfather. Can anyone help me?
Thank you, Karen Trull Jordan
