I am trying to track down my paternal grandmother's father's family. Her name was
Martha Sally Anne Carver (born 1910), and her father was Fred Carver. The lived in or
around Casey, IL (Cumberland & Clark Counties). Family "lore" is that Fred
and his older brother John were orphaned when their mother, who was half American Indian,
died and their new stepmother did not want to raise Indian children. They were supposedly
found walking near the KS/MO state line by the Cook family, and brought to IL when Fred
was about 7. John lived with them briefly, then my understanding is he relocated somewhere
near the MO/IL state line and the brothers kept in touch. It would be great to have this
mystery solved.
