Do you know the parents of your James Carney? I'm looking for a James Carney who was probably born in the late 1830s or early 1840s. He joined the US Calvary after the Civil War and was stationed in SD. He married Annie Mc Namara from St. Joseph Mo. She evidently had relatives in Deadwood area. They lived in Deadwood after they were married. He was supposedly the postmaster there at one time. I know of 2 children, Albert and Agnes, but there may have been more. This James went to the Republican National Convention in St. Louis, Mo in 1895 and died while he was there. Familiar?
