Notes:

John Carney was born in North Carolina around 1748-1750, as determined from censuses of him and his children. K. Johnson has birth as 15 Apr 1748. Most of his children were also born in North Carolina, but some (if not several), as noted on the Census rolls including sons William, Elijah and Vincent, and daughter Lucy - may have been born in east North Carolina/Tennessee. Martha "Patsy" Carney the last daughter was born about the time the family may have came up through the Natchez Trace in 1782/83 and settled in White's Creek, Davidson County, North Carolina (later Tennessee), which had just formed as a county in 1783. At that time, over 80% of western North Carolina was still Indian Lands which surrounded Davidson County isolated in the middle of this semi-hostile territory with only 200 able bodied men in all settlements. Until the Indian wars ended in 1795, only a trickle of settlers entered. It is important to note, that Tennessee was not formed until 1790 as it was entirely organized and ceded from western North Carolina. It is possible, some of the family children did not move far at all from their birth places and the borders were what moved.

It is suspected John Carney was related to William and Arthur Carney, who were Indian Traders found trading in these areas from 1783 onwards, in towns such as St. Augustine, Pensacola, Mobile, Chickasaw Bluffs, New Orleans Fernandina, Bon Secour, etc. Other traders of note were Turner Brashear, Lachlan and John McGillivray, John Turnbull, and others. Turnbull has a close family relationship with the Carneys as seem to be locally the Brashears (Brassiers) and the Leflore's

DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (B: 1775) line is related through an exact match with 46 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (B: 1748) line. Despite other researchers speculation, we cannot merge Iklannabee into John Carney (B: 1748) who is believed to be his half-brother. Reasons: (1) This John Carney has children with sufficient documentation proving that they were born and partially raised in the North Carolina and then arrived in Tennessee territory in 1783 - Iklannabee birthdate firmed up about 1758 and would have been father at 12. (2) Iklannabee was Indian in appearance, and ? breeds were not then allowed to own land in Tennessee/North Carolina or serve as juror. (3) It is shown in several Censuses that John and his children were never mentioned to be anything other than white.

The plausible conclusion as evidenced by the DNA testing and rolls, censuses, land deeds, etc is that Iklannabee of Mississippi and John Carney (B: 1748) of Tennessee have the same father, believed to be the same Indian Trader who plied his wares in Indian Territory. The Choctaw Indian Territory extended from Mississippi to eastern Alabama and up the Natchez Trace into Tennessee.

The first mention of John Carney in official records is in 1787, four years after arrival confirmed when he was a juror in a trial. Reference: Book - Davidson County, Tennessee County Court Minutes 1783 - 1792 by: Carol Wells page 31 - April 1785 Court Session - "John Boyd vs Ja. Rains. Trespass. Assault & Battery (page 127) Jury: John Cox, C. Ruddle, William Crutcher, John Buchanan, Jn. Tucker, Moses Larracy, Sam' Martin, Samuel Desson, JOHN KARNEY, Wm. Gower, Mark Nobles, Ed Hogan, Ed Hickman. Wit. Francis Armstrong, Wit. Wm. Crutcher. Def' came to plaintiff house picked up a chair, knocked plaintiff down, bit his thumb.

The Carney men, John, William and Elijah are later mentioned on the 1798 Sumner County Tax Roll. Sumner County was formed from the right (east) portion of Davidson County. A year later, they are also mentioned again in a road improvement filed in Davidson County, Tennessee Court Minutes July 1799 page 20 Isaac Earthman to oversee the Road beginning at the foot of The ridge thence to the head of Long Creek, down said creek about one mile to the tree marked with a large O with all lands above Dry Fork East & West of said Creek To wit: William Smith, JOHN CARNEY, WILLIAM CARNEY, ELIJAH CARNEY...and all taxables in sd bounds.

Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY bought more land holdings on Dry Fork Creek on the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump. John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on nearby Marrowbone Creek in February, 1812. John Carney bought land known as "Edward Blackburn's old place" on March 25, 1812 - 40 acres on Marrowbone. This follows the worst earthquake in U.S. History which occurred February 7th in Northwest Tennessee where a vast land area drops several fee, tidal waves and a back flowing Mississippi River result in 13,000 acre Reelfoot Lake.

During the war of Independence from English rule, John Kearney (Carney) was assigned to The Army of General George Rogers Clark and Crockett's Regiment with Richard Brashear who was at Cahokia on 31 may 1780. John is believed to be related to Arthur Kearney, who married Celeste Brashear indicating at least a familiarity with the Brashear family further strengthening the connection to Arthur as John's relative. Most of Brashear's regiment resettled in Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. This would fit with John's resettlement of his family after service from North Carolina to Tennessee in 1783 following the war. Source Book: "Pioneers of Davidson County, Tennessee" - By: Edythe R. Whitley "The men in Captain Roger's Old Militia Company lived in the North East part of Davidson County from Dry Fork/Whites Creek to Sycamore Creek"

By 1790, The newly formed United States had 230,000 immigrants from England, and the second most prolific immigrants were 142,000 settlers from Ireland. Together with other immigrant nationalities and all their descendants, the population was now 3,929,326. In 1917, The Irish (later termed Scotch-Irish in 1970's), begin deserting Ireland following 100 years of leasing land with oppressive rents by absentee Anglo landlords and a crumbling linen trade, famine and droughts. The Presbyterians who predominated the Irish were disadvantaged by the Penal laws of the Church of England, but were just a likely to become Methodists and Baptists upon settlement in America. It is estimated over 200,000 Ulster Irish-Scotts relocated to America, followed my more when the potato famines later occurred. Most of the earlier settlers found there independent and unique ways were unwelcome in Boston, Philadelphia, etc unlike the potato famine refugees in later years, and found themselves traveling to the backwoods of America and the Appalachian region, settled almost exclusively by these Irish. The typical migration involved small networks of related families/clans that settled together, intermarried and avoided outsiders. After many years of English oppression in Ireland, these Irish were ardent patriots of their new land America.

Later, it is noted there were four of these men (John, William, Elijah and Vincent) listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John and William were in one regiment, and Elijah and Vincent were in another. It is believed that this John was not a participant, but it would have been nephew John Jr. (B:1775) , as this John would have been in his 60's. It cannot be ascertained with certainty if these Militia members were involved in only defense or saw any action in nearby states against the Spanish. Militia members were not entitled to land grants following the war, only those who served for three years in the regular military.

We find JOHN KERNEY in the 1830 Davidson County, Tennessee Census 2 males - under 5; 1 male - age 15/20; 1 male - 80/90; 1 female - under 5; 1 female - age 15/20; 1 female - age 20/30; 1 female - age 60/70; 1 female - age 80/90. This would indicate he was married as late as his eighties, but to whom it is not known.

The rest of the family is well documented in the area for years to come with children, families, extended families etc, but further mention of John Carney after 1830 is not confirmable in context to be our John Carney, and his death was believed to be around 1838.

Notes:

I would love to speak to anyone who can PROVE who John's wife was... I certainly don't believe it was Naomi Knox and others put forward without proof.

From June Pollard, March 2006 (now deceased);
"Jim, Dr. Charles Hackett (deceased-retired prof. from the Univ. of TX in Austin) told me sev. years ago that Martha Carney Blackburn stated her parents were from "Maryland" - Dr. Joe Rude, a desc. of the Blackburn family of TX, stated before his death that the Blackburns always knew that John Carney was the father of Martha but did not know the name of Carney's wife...Charles speculated that just MAYBE the middle names Martha gave to her sons: Rose, York (maybe other names I cannot look up right now) would be a clue to her mother's maiden name..."

BINKLEY/PINKLEY, Frederick , W4898

Declaration of Frederick Binkley , Stokes Co., NC, 12 Sept. * -- Frederick "Binkley or Pinkley (according to the different modes of pronunciation in the German or English language" , age 74 years and 10 months.

In 1775 he entered service as a militia soldier in Capt. Henry Smith's company, in the regiment commanded by Col. Martin Armstrong and Lt. Col. Joseph Williams. In the fall or winter of 1775 he marched from the portion of Surry County which later became Stokes to Fayetteville, NC, for the purpose of opposing the Scotch or Tory insurrection. He was in service about 3 months.

In August or September 1776 he entered service as a militia soldier in Capt. Henry Smith's Company and in Col. Joseph Williams' regiment. (Williams was also of Surry County.) He marched across the mountains on an expedition against the hostile Cherokee Indians to the Long Island of the Holstein River where he remained occupied for a few days. They then marched to the Cherokee Towns on the Tennessee River where they destroyed some of the towns and the provisions the Indians had collected. The troops returned home in about three months.

When the British took possession of Savannah, Georgia, he thinks in 1779, he again entered service under Capt. Henry Smith in the regiment commanded by Col. Francis Locke and in General Rutherford's brigade. He marched from his residence in Stokes (then Surry) to the Savannah River and was on this side of the River at the time of the Battle of Briar Creek. He was in service from October 10 to the following April 10. His term of five months was extended one month longer at the request of General Lincoln who desired the North Carolina militia to remain in service until the South Carolina militia should have time to join and reinforce his army.

Frederick again entered the service in September 1780 and marched from his residence in Stokes to Kings Mountain in South Carolina. He was detained looking for his lost horse and missed the battle as the rest of the horsemen got ahead of him and engaged in the battle before he could arrive. He was in this tour about two months.

Frederick was also called out frequently while at home to perform duty as soldier for periods.

Frederick was born in York County and moved from there to Stokes when young.

[refers to Frederick's tours of duty]

Elizabeth's maiden name was Elizabeth Dull [Doll]. She was married to Frederick on March 18, 1786. [1] Frederick died on April 5, 1834.

Elizabeth also declares that the paper leaf writing containing the family record of her children is a true statement of their ages or births as set down in her handwriting which is now cut out of a German testament. The births stand thus:

Notes:

I preface this particular person's lineage with the caveat that this is a 'best evidence' assumption based on facts and DNA evidence. Positive proof of Iklennabee's and John Carney's (B:1748-1750) father is NOT available and based on conclusions.

Background: It is concluded that the father of Iklennabee was likely a white man who married a Choctaw Indian woman. In Choctaw language, iklanna means 'half' in relation to blood (brother), and the full meaning was "Half-blood Warrior". Many Choctaw families helped their daughters select a trader as husband. Both Traders and elite Choctaw families sought these unions but chiefs like Franchimastabe and Taboca controlled the actions of such foreigners who wished to become part of Choctaw Society. Elite power became increasingly associated with these foreigners and their imported goods. Only elite Choctaws had marriageable access to traders and only elite Choctaw women married these traders in the late eighteenth century.

DNA testing of several Carney Family volunteers has confirmed the Mississippi John Carney (B: 1775) line is related through an exact match with 37 markers to the Tennessee John Carney (B: 1748) line. Despite other researchers speculation, we cannot merge Iklannabee into John Carney (B: 1748) who is believed to be his half-brother. Reasons: (1) That John Carney has children with sufficient documentation proving that they were born and partially raised in the North Carolina and then arrived in Tennessee territory in 1783 - Iklannabee birthdate firmed up about 1758 and would have been father at 12. (2) Iklannabee was Indian in appearance, and ? breeds were not then allowed to own land in Tennessee/North Carolina or serve as juror. (3) It is shown in several Censuses that John and his children were never mentioned to be anything other than white.

This leads us to conclude that John of Tennessee and John of Mississippi have a common male progenitor although the evidence points out it cannot be the same father, thus a generation is skipped and John of Tennessee is actually the uncle of John of Mississippi. These families are found together in eastern North Carolina, which later became Tennessee with ample evidence of association with each other and each other's friends and acquaintances. This father/grandfather of the two men, points to a Carney/Kearney man who probably entered the country from Ireland around 1731, arriving in all probability in either eastern Florida (later state of Mississippi), or colonial Georgia. Some evidence points to his being a Flax Linen Spinner/Trader from Northern Ireland who took up Trading in the new land, and some evidence points to his coming in as an Irish-Scott brigade soldier/farmer given land and passage by the French Military in exchange for service, and may indeed be the same former Flax Spinner. We do not know if this was a trader or soldier for certain. Not long after his arrival in America, this first Arthur Carney from Ireland had a son, Arthur Carney (Kearney), born in about 1735. It is known that he also had a son named Jeremiah (brother to Arthur B:1735) and another son named William who was a prolific and successful trader among the Indians (documentation maintained). Arthur Carney B: 1732 is also known as Thomas Arthur Carney but apparently usually used his middle name Arthur in most documentation.

Arthur Carney (B:c-1732) became a trader also, sometime after age 19 and his authorized area for trading was in Choctaw Territory, whereby this authority required he remain at his trading site 6 months out of the year. Most traders spent somewhat less, around 3 to 6 months of the year actually at their post, plus travel time - and like others, Arthur maintained a tobacco plantation and a white wife and family back 'home' for the other 6 months of the year. Documentation shows that Arthur was an active trader and land holder and was quite a successful businessman.

Arthur was offered, and took a Choctaw Indian wife - whose name is uncertain, but was from a prominent family; and from this union his wife bore Iklannabee, born around the year 1758. Arthur was married to a white woman also while in North Carolina and later Georgia where he based some of his holdings. Her name was Elizabeth Aderton, as noted in several dealings outlined below. From this marriage, Arthur had at least one daughter, Margaret Carney, and three sons - Jeremiah Carney (not Jerry), Arthur Carney (Indian Trader), and John Carney B:1748. Pending further documentation, Arthur may have a possible fourth son, a trader William Carney who died in 1795 without children.

The French withdrew from east Florida/Mississippi October 16, 1762 and ceded their claims in eastern Florida (Louisiana, Mississippi, etc) to Spain. The following year, the treaty of Paris gave Britain nearly all of France's holdings in America, setting the stage for dispute and conflict and a confusion of loyalties for the colonist. Who did they recognize as the true masters and heirs and to whom would they side with when the war of Independence broke out in 1776?

By October 1775 all branches of government in the Georgia Colony were gone except for the Judicial branch after being overtaken.
In December 1775 what was left of the Provincial Congress appointed a new Council of Safety. They were to organize a battalion to defend Georgia. On Jan 7th, 1776 the battalion was further organized by elected and commissioned field officers. This is when the prominent and wealthy ARTHUR CARNEY was "elected or commissioned" as a "Company Officer" with a rank of Captain, of the Fourth Company. John McIntosh, Jr Captain and Lachlan McIntosh JR 1st Lt were commissioned for the third Company. Capt Carney had 2 Lieutenants, 4 Sergents, 4 Corporals and 48 Sentinels in his company.

In August 1777, Captain Arthur Carney was taken prisoner by the British at St. Simons Island, Georgia "Their crews captured and carried away Captain Arthur Carney, five citizens, several negroes, and as much household furniture as could be conveyed in the barges." For any number of possible reasons, Arthur deserted to the British on the "10th of August 1777, and subsequently joined the enemy." His son Arthur (B: 1755/D:1804) was also a Tory he too sided with the British. After the war 100,000 loyalist were dispersed to all parts of the Empire, from Britain to Mississippi, West Indies, Canada and Florida.

Unfortunately, Arthur did not survive the war and was killed during the waning hours of the war in 1783. His property of 300 acres at Sunbury, was put up for auction in August 1781 as confiscated property, even before his death. This disposal of assets continued after his demise with other properties of "late the property of Arthur Carney...being persons named in the Act of Confiscation and Attainder, as enemies to the State." Public sale held at Sunbury February 1785. This was followed by Confiscated Estates sales in St. Patrick's Parish (now Glynn County), and others.
