  • Notes 
    • A grave marker (round stone) for Polly Carney was seen by Leonard Lawson Carney for many years in Dry Fork Road cemetery on the hill by Denton's Chapel Methodist Church, Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. Polly was a sister of Elizabeth C. Goldsberry, wife of Elijah Carney, suspected brother of Vincent Carney. References: 1820, 1830 and 1840 Census - Davidson County, Tennessee Will of Vincent Carney Marriage Record Giles County, Tennessee Chancery Court Records "Polly" is buried in Vincent Carney Cemetery on Dry Fork Road, on hill above Denton's Chapel Methodist Church, Whites Creek, Davidson County, Tennessee. When Leonard Lawson Carney was a boy and a young man, he saw a carved round stone in the cemetery near the edge of the road with the name "Polly Carney" and dates on it. In 1981, that stone was no longer there or at least it was not visible when Leonard and Glenda walked a ways in the cemetery.
