I am really having trouble with the Carver side of the family. I know that a Wyley Carver
married Jennie Webb in 1882. There was also a marrige between a Samuel Webb and a Martha
Carver the same year. Samuel's name was on Wyley's marriage bond and visa versa.
I got a was able to obtain a death certificate for a WW Carver which is how Wyley's
name appears in the family bible (tombstone reads Wiley). The death certificate I found
gives the year of birth as 1859 and the bible and tombstone have it as 1861 other than
that, the month and day are correct.
Death certificate shows WW as being born in TN and parents (Tom Carver and Betty Vaughn)
both being born in NC. Death certificate shows him as being married but not to Jennie
Webb however he didn't die until 1931 and she died in 1904 so he could have remarried.
This doesn't help me to know if the death certificate is for the right person or not
though, it only confuses things.
If anyone has any info on a possible Carver/Vaughn or Carver/Webb connection, I would be
very interested.
Thanks for your time,
Dawn Webb
