Sorry if this is a 2nd posting, had a bit of trouble with my email address. It's been a while since I've posted any information. The Carden/Cardon side has filled out a lot, thanks to help from these lists, and the project at http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/ You can see our whole tree at: http://www.lightpatch.com/genealogy/paf and other info and pictures and documents at: http://www.lightpatch.com/genealogy/ One interesting individual is Hugh Walker Cardon, because he was born as Carden. We don't know why he changed the spelling from "e" to "o". Many of these people lived in or moved to Alabama, and a large part of our background is in Cherokee County, specifically Centre, Alabama. The Battles side (my father) really could use some help. There seem to be lots of us, but we haven't established a good connection yet. The Kenners go back to the 1500s, and we actually have good connections to the Smiths. We'll gladly share what information we have.
