Message Board Post:
Your Elias was the child of Stephen Carver and Emma Ann Humphrey (dau.of Elias Humphrey
and Nancy Bailey). Stephen was either the son or grandson of Christian Carver. I think
that he was the grandson and therefore the son of Michael Carver and his wife ???
Chandler. I am sorry but I am not where I can look at my notes. I will do so today and
send another message. Stephen Carver was born in Switzerland Co. IN. The land where your
ancestors lived was first owned by their grandfather, Elias Humphrey (Dr.). After the
death of Stephen, his widow moved with her children to where your family lived.
I have the Humphrey family back to the 1600s, the Baileys back to the 1600s, and the
Carvers back to their immigration from Germany in the early 1700s. Their name was not
Carver -- it was Gerber and the immigrant was Michael Gerber
I will be back later on more particulars. Let me know what you wish to know. I am a
descendant of the sister of Elias Carver. Emma Ann Carver who married Hiram James Warner
in Switzerland Co. Indiana.
