• Notes

  !This marriage place and date seem a bit (see my note below) !This marriage place and date seem a bit suspect. Why would they be in Baltimore? Who was Elinor Talbott? Note that son John was born before his parents were married. SOURCE: Marvin Carman. I have a Family Group Sheet from Familysearch.com on Hezekiah and Elinor Carman which lists their son, John William Carman was born 1756 in Caswell, NC. I do not see any discrepancy. Deborah Garrett. John's birth is likely off a year or two; or, Hezekiah & Eleanor were married more than once in two different faith's. They were certainly ghosts while in Maryland, and her family were Quaker in part. John's birth then is taken from his military records and the marriage from published Maryland abstracts. Thomas "Kevin" DeLeuil Carman 6th Great Grandson Professional Genealogist John William & Maryland First, Clarice Carman with whom I researched for many years in the 1970's & 80's was the author of "John William" being one man. We then received copies of the Bible of William & Sarah [Quine] Carman from Connie Hackman which enabled us to divide that family from John & Sarah [Hancock] Carman's definitively. They are first cousins. The error perpetuates. Louis Duermyer of NY was the one who first led Flora Alexander & I to Maryland. He had a transcript of the estate of Jasper Carman, [brother of John who married Hannah], and deeds showing that John had sold out and left long before he arrived in VA/NC. That estate file has, unfortunately, vanished and I have been unable to access it either through the courthouse in NJ, or microfilm. 1749 was the year of upheaval. Jasper also sold his lands and moved, but not as far as did John and others. From various sources, [among them "The Great Wave" by David Hackett Fisher], it is established that the period was one of repeated recessions. Europe was in upheaval with war after war, [French & Indian 1754-63] being the portion thereof most affecting the American Colonies. John, thus far, has not been proven to have made any land purchase in MD and then of course came the insurrection which became the American Revolution. John was in North Carolina at least by 1777 when he appears in a census substitute in the form of oaths of allegiance and tax rolls which also doubled as militia rolls. Following his scant trail of papers it is apparent he was determined to "move up" as was the American way, but found himself constantly facing adversity in so doing. He was not alone in his trek to the south between 1776-8 - and managed in NC to achieve his goal. I tested the theory by scouring records for "other" Hezekiah Carman's of any spelling and, luckily, it was a name not oft repeated! He is "not of New Jersey" in 1758 when his Uncle Jasper left him a stipend in his will. In that period - there was only one from which to choose. Likewise, when the Hezekiah in MD should finally show up in records; he has again vanished and the one in NC surfaces - WITH a father of the right name AND a brother and sister named Caleb & Abigail - the names of his grandparents in NJ. Too many coincidences - preponderance of evidence. I am hopeful that once all microfilmed records are scanned, that long misfiled estate file will be found once again. Regardless, there is but one option through the life of Hezekiah Carman from which to choose. It must be him/them! Kevin Carman
