      Jim Carney adds Sep 2024: Jesse's tombstone is the only one still standing in the original family cemetery. Cheatham County was formed in 1856 from part of Davidson County.

      At time of 1840 Census, four Carney families owned adjacent properties in Davidson County, Tennessee: Ennis B. Carney 5 in household Jesse T. Carney 5 in household Joshua Carney 7 in household William Carney 3 in household Asee (Asa) Carney 5 in household and nearby a Brinkley household with 8 persons.

      Alt Marriage Date: 27 Feb 1828, Marion Co. for Jesse T. - Could Rev. Jesse C. Carney be another person?

      1 He and wife were land owners in North Davidson County on Little Marrowbone at the time of the Civil War. He received one or more land grants. Jesse owned slaves prior to war. The Civil War took both their livestock and their food. His grandson, Walter Davis, wound up living on a part of Jesse T. Carney's land at the time of Andrew Carnegie Davis's birth. The present house on that land has some of the original logs in its structure. Jesse T. Carney is buried on his former land; his tombstone is the only one there.

      He bought a horse on 30 May for $55, Black, 15 hands high, 7 years old, star in the forehead, etc... Nashville Journal 17 June 1834

      He appears on the tax rolls, census, etc.
