Thanks to Matthew in MO -- I have a lot of Carver info and document copies for my family
tree. Also thanks to Marilyn and her sister in CA. My line descends from that VERY ELUSIVE
Carver--Stephen. The only real "proof" we have been provided of his existence is
a copy of his son Elias Carver's Civil War Pension Application & Death
Certificate. Stephen & his wife Emma A Humphrey had @ 150 acres in Switzerland Co.
After his death in 1864, Emma relocated to Harrison Co with her two survivng younger sons.
What happened to the land?? Where is Stephen buried? He died at age of 47 in 1864 (we are
told) where is he buried? Was he in the Civil War ? No one seems to have a
"loose" Stephen. He had to have come from somewhere.Did he have siblings?
Stephen's descendants from his sons Elias, Stephen A., and Schuyler C (known as
Charles) are mainly in Harrison Co.for most of the 20th Century. He is our "brick
wall" Got a theory or a clue to help us ? Line of descent is: Harry Franklin s/o !
Alva s/o Elias s/o Stephen. Thanks to all for any help
