    Per: Alfred Lytton Carney in a taped interview made by Glenda Mae Carney October 23, 1983 "Slaves of Elijah Carney & Elijah McHenry Carney buried in the Carney Family Cemetery on Stenberg Road (Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee) are located in the far point of triangle of land and marked only with piles of limestone. There used to be a fence surrounding the Carney Family Cemetery." Per: Leonard Lawson Carney & Alfred Lytton Carney in a taped interview October 23, 1983 "Pap (their father, Oscar Wayne Carney, Sr.) said that Elijah Carney owned land extending from Simpkins Hollow, along Carney Branch Creek, over hills, past Old Hickory Boulevard. Where John Tyler Carney's log home stood, was originally part of Elijah's land. Elijah's land extended down to old Marrowbone."

    Notes:

    Elizabeth is probably buried in the Carney Family Cemetery on Stenberg Road in Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Elizabeth appeared on 1830 census in Elijah's household but not on 1840 census; thus it is presumed she died 1830-1840, in what is now known as Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Per: Glenda Carney On marriage bond, the Clerk wrote Elizabeth's middle name as "CEALS". Since Elizabeth probably could not read nor write, she was unaware her name had been spelled incorrectly. All subsequent references refer to her as Elizabeth "C." Goldsberry because of the Clerk's error. I am convinced her middle name should have been spelled 'SEALE" because that was the correct spelling of her Paternal Grandmother, ELIZABETH SEALE.
