Posted on: CARNEY Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/c/a/CARNEY/queries/52 Surname: CARNEY ------------------------- I show a Sabrina m. to a Jack McFadden, daughter of James Alexander Carney and an Irish woman. James was b. in Ireland ca 1778. This is all I have on this family. Doesn't sound like you have any more information than I do. I sure would like to see a copy of that history you were looking at.

Ellen, The history written by Lula Carney is short and simple, tells that James A. 1st ,came from Ireland, with his Irish wife, and his first born James A. 2d, was born aboard ship and family settled in Pennsylvania. James 1st, was a large land owner and set his son up on his own farm, which failed,as James 2d was a gambler and man of leisure. His father set him up again and again the son failed. He was set up again and failed. The mother wanted him set up for the fourth time, however the father, James 1st, refused and James 2d, married to a full blood French woman, named Mary, packed up his family and moved to Missouri. I have questions about this as his daughter Sabrina, was born in Tennessee. Sabrina was married a second time to Robert McMillen. Also , Sabrina had siblings of Amanda, James A. 3d, Samuel, Isaac, Mary, John. James Alexander Carney 3d was married 1st to Isabell Freemyre and 2d to Lydia Hilbert. James A. 4th was married 1st to Amelia Ann Rudicil and 2d to Anna Pultz. This James was a Baptist minister. I have gathered this much from many sources. Still nothing definite for proof of anything beyond Sabrina. There is some info on Carney's in the Family book of " Boltz/Puls/Pulse/Pults/Pultz Family of America through Johann Michael Boltz" by Paul and Bea Boltz and Bob and Carolyn Gerard. I Also have Boltz ancestors. I know this is a cut down version, but you can see, I really have nothing confirmed beyond Sabrina.
