    Notes:

    My great-grandfather James Henry Carney came from a line of Carneys that resided from about 1812 in the Big Marrowbone Creek area of Cheatham County where it borders with Davidson County. There were also several of this Carney line who lived in Dickson County.

    James Henry Carney's death certificate indicates the cause of his death was "Lobar Pneumonia, type undetermined." He is buried in Section T, Row 15, Grave 74 in the Spring Hill Cemetery.

    Occupation listed: Trade-Moulder in Industry-Gray & Doudley, mother Martha Stewart, spouse Pearl Carney at death. Died of Pneumonia.

    Found in 1900 Census at age 19, as James Conroy (Carney), wife Kissie (Kizzie) and daughter Etta. Name is inturpreted incorrectly as Conroy by transcription, as Carney is the intent of Census taker.

    Notes:

    This line of Oliphants is known to have resided in Dickson County as well as in Rutherford and Williamson Counties.

    Kizzie May's death certificate indicates her death at such an early age was caused by "Asphyxia" contributed to by "Laryngeal Diphtheria." She is buried in Section N, Row 3, Grave 30 in Spring Hill Cemetery. It seems a shame that Kizzie died of diphtheria when that illness is easily taken care of now days.
