Sallie 27 wife Keeping house " Francis 8 son " Aaron 6 son " Oliver 3 son " Commentary on the above census from Sara Green: The only trouble with this is that I know that Francis and Aaron were born in Ohio. (Or am fairly certain that they were). Also, in looking at the microfilm for Craig Co. marriages until 1935 I found evidence that Allen Francis had been married in 1899 to a Lillie Florence Webb. That is confusing to me because he was supposed to have married my great grandmother, Dottie, the very next year. Children of CHAPMAN/CHARLES CARPER and SARAH MANN are: 35. i.

Notes for OLIVER BURNS CARPER: Of New Castle There is an Oliver Carper listed in: Craig County, Virginia Births, 1853-1896, who has parents Charles Carper and Sarah, with the date of May 4, 1876. This may be one and the same with this Oliver. Chapman, it seems to me, was not the original entry I had here, but it was possibly something like Charles.- VES iii. JAMES CHAPMAN CARPER, b.

Lic: 31 Oct 1870 Md: 3 Nov 1870 at residence of bride's father by Gibson Mauzey * his place of birth had to be Botetourt since Craig was not formed until 21 Mar 1851 The bottom of Charles E. Carper's stone says... This simple tablet marks a father's bier And those he loved in life, in death are near. 1910 Census says New Castle District. Notes for ELIZABETH ANN MCCARTNEY: Here is an obituary for Elizabeth Ann (McCartney) Carper: CARPER, Elizabeth Ann (McCartney) widow of Charles E., daughter of Major Andrew and Mary C. McCartney. Born on Barbour's Creek, 1-15-1849 (4th of 12 children), died 10-6-1922. Father was POW during Civil War. Survivors: Several siblings. [no names given] My visual inspection of Elizabeth's stone seemed to read b. 1/5 and died 10/5. This was due, no doubt, to wear, as an obituary and a family Bible list the day of birth as 1/15- Vincent E. Summers Obit. does not list any survivors except several siblings, not named. Byrd's obit. does list him as son of "the late Charles E." and gives the survivors as 3 brothers and 2 sisters-------and he died in 1929, 7 yrs. after his mother. Nicknamed Pet. I believe the stone was shared by husband and wife. Marriage Notes for CHARLES CARPER and ELIZABETH MCCARTNEY: License October 31, 1870. Children of CHARLES CARPER and ELIZABETH MCCARTNEY are: 38. i.

Notes for CHARLES EDWARD CARPER: Craig County, Virginia Births, 1853-1896 "Little Eddie" 1900 Census says there was a 9th child. Rachel Adeline (Carper) Davis, July 27, 1998, said she remembered there was a little one that they just called "Little Eddie", whether it was born dead or how long it lived, she didn't know. Of course, if this is the 9th child reported in the above census, the child wouldn't have been counted in the census (would it??) Update: Eddie was discovered in the old Carper grave site at Rts. 689 and 615. Turn off 615, onto 689, and up the hill. It is private property, but the owner gave us gracious permission to visit the site, jot dates, and take photographs. Eddie had a stone that was of that soft, perhaps alabaster sort with a little lamb engraved on it, whereas his parents had a small upright stake sort of stone with both their names engraved, with dates, on two of the sides of the stone. The stone seemed to say 1879. The C.E. Carper, Sr. family Bible says 1878. 41. v. FRANKLIN "FRANK" SPOTSWOOD CARPER, b. December 20, 1880. 42. vi. DESSIE MAURICE CARPER, b. November 15, 1882; d.
