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.

Notes:

A Choctaw Indian Chief or Captain of warriors - bestowed through the maternal line as dictated by Indian tradition, as his white trader father married the daughter of an Indian Chief to secure trade relations as customary at the time. Other spellings: Ikenaby, Iklenaby - 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.

Iklannabee's father and mother are unproven at this moment, and my conclusion as to their identity is circumstantial. It is believed his father was a white Indian Trader named Arthur Carney and his mother a Choctaw woman, daughter to a chief, thus his designation along the matriarchal line as a "Captain" under a "small medal" chief. One of his wives was Sally Ann Kearney, his first wife and who is believed to be from Ireland. Her family died on the journey to their new land from a fever, and she was placed as a child with her cousins in North Carolina/Tennessee. The exact family relationship with her American family cannot be determined, but she married her distant cousin Iklannabee who from that point forward began using his and her families surname and was from then known as John Carney among whites.

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.

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.

During the Spanish-American War of 1812, Iklannabee (Ikenaby) served under Andrew Jackson, who was later to lead the United States as its President. It is unknown how much action he may have been involved in, since in 1813, Andrew Jackson's militia force of 2,000 men which had been intended for the occupation of Pensacola and St. Augustine, was ordered to stand down. They were no longer needed in West Florida due to war developments, and the War department ordered the men be dismissed from the service while at Natchez, as they were impatiently in readiness for an advance on the British, Spanish and Indians. General Jackson was so disappointed by the order, that he had the men transported back to Tennessee at his own expense.

The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek, the last in a series of six treaties between the United States government and the Choctaw Nation of Mississippi, was signed on September 27, 1830, between the two prongs of the Big and Little Dancing Rabbit Creeks in present-day Noxubee County, Mississippi. John H. Eaton and John Coffee represented the government, and Greenwood Leflore represented the Choctaw Nation. Under the agreement of the treaty, the Choctaw Nation surrendered their remaining lands east of the Mississippi River to the government and as compensation; the government gave them the land beyond Arkansas (present-day Oklahoma) as a new Indian territory. Another stipulation was that the Choctaws were to relocate during 1831-1833. Treaty was signed by Jerry Carney, Ittabe (Ikenaby - phonetic K is tt as signed here and some other documents) and many others.

Armstrong Roll - Application to remain in Mississippi as Citizen - May 7, 1831; Iklanabee, Children: 0 under 10, 3 over 10, Indian man.
However, Iklannabee was unsuccessful in preventing his family from being sent to Oklahoma reservation and Emigrated to Skullyville, Indian Territory in the winter of 1833:

There are some in the family who feel Iklannabee returned to Mississippi after the Emigration because a John Carney is found in the household of Elijah (B: 1803) in 1850. This John is not Iklannabee but his son John Carney B: 1775, aged 70 as correlated precisely to his particulars. Also, Iklannabee is found in the final days of his life on the reservation in 1855 census roll. He still may have returned to his homeland in later years to Mississippi, as he was entitled to as shown in: Choctaw Case Claim 285, Shows Iklanabbe (Col. Wards Register) entitled to 640 acres @ $1.25.
Nonetheless, the Choctaws who preferred to remain in or return to Mississippi after lengthy court cases, received land allotments, became subject to Mississippi law, and were no longer subject to the laws of the Choctaw tribe. Each adult Choctaw who chose to remain in Mississippi received 640 acres of land. Each child over the age of ten received 320 acres while each child under the age of ten received 160 acres of land. Approximately 5,000 Choctaws chose to remain in Mississippi.

Still, the family movements of Iklannabee have shown a degree of restlessness, as did many other family members who moved up and down the Natchez Trace and Choctaw Indian lands. An 1813 lawsuit involving a land dispute in Davidson County, Tennessee (re: the State of Tennessee against JOHN KERNEY, SR., JOHN KERNEY, JR. and ELIJAH KERNEY. Reference: Book - Davidson County, Tennessee County Court Minutes was settled out of court), might indicate the presence for the first time of Iklannabee, now known as John Carney in the white man's world, as being in Tennessee, but this is considered very unlikely and thought to be his son, John Carney born in 1775.

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 preface this particular person's lineage with the caveat that this is a 'best evidence' assumption based on facts and DNA evidence.

Arthur Carney was born about 1755-1760 in North Carolina, to the son of Arthur Carney the Indian Trader and Elizabeth Aderton. Like his father, Arthur became an Indian Trader to the Choctaw's and was found to have a trading post under the Spanish Grand Party in 1787 (after his father's death) in Spanish Territory that was at the time known as east Florida in the Mississippi Valley near New Orleans, at the mouth of the Yazoo River. This trading post provided beef from Texas Trading Companies, among other items.

While establishing himself as an Indian Trader, Arthur was offered, and took up a Choctaw Indian wife named Hoke (Hokey) from a prominent family, and from this union his wife bore a child and named him Jeremiah (Jerry) Carney, namesake of his father's son Jeremiah, his uncle. This wife is also documented in the baptismal certificate on file for his son Jeremiah. He also had another son by Hoke, who he named Arthur after his father, and who is found in the Armstrong Rolls when forced in the emigration to Oklahoma in later years. In addition, he had a white wife named Matilda, and much later another Celeste Brashear with which he had one child Elizabeth Louisiana Carney. Celeste died in childbirth in 1798 after 1 year of marriage, and daughter Elizabeth was orphaned at 6 years of age when Arthur was also killed on 6th of July 1804 at age 49.

To fill in a few years in between; we find in various documents that Arthur was an active Indian Trader and a man of wealth and prosperity, with friends of other prominent traders such as Turner Brashears, Louis Leflore, Alexander Fazier and others. In later years he was in a partnership in the mercantile business with John Edgerill, which ended in 1802 when Elderill filed suit for an improper accounting by Carney. But, before any decree or payment was made, Arthur died in unknown circumstances. Not long after that, Edgergill died in 1807 and the suit was later renewed in the name of Prosper and Richard King, Edergills heirs or assignees. The Kings obtained a decree against Arthur's estate, now held by his widowed wife who had now married John Cummins. The decree also extended to Joseph Nichols and his wife Elizabeth who was the daughter of Arthur Carney. John Cummins was the administrator of Arthur's estate, as mentioned by Kings attorney.

A major setback for Arthur occurred during the American War of Independence started in 1776, when like his father (who died in the war), he sided as a loyalist with the British. At the end of the war, Arthur was given 6 months to settle his estate and was then banished from the Colonial Union under the Act of Attainder, Banishments and Confiscation and selling any effected assets quickly, as he took refuge in Spanish eastern Florida (later known as Louisiana and Mississippi). In 1784, he was in court in East Florida, in a case against Manuel Solano and Arthur Carney. He denied charges of Theft but admitted that they beat up a negro named Frank.

John Cummins and Nancy/Ann Breashears, guardians .
Testimony taken from Samuel Gibson of Port Gibson states that Arthur Carney took possession of some cash found in a trunk following the death of William Carney SR. Marian (aka Maria) & Elizabeth were heirs of Arthur Carney. John Taylor is Wm Carney's Att'y. (See WM Brocus VS Thomas Crabb) William Carney was Samuel Gibson's Uncle. WM Carney Sr. who died Jan 2, 1795 left his entire estate to his nephews. Arthur Carney of the Choctaw Nation & William Carney then of Camden Co. Ga. Arthur Carney deceived Williams as to the value of this estate and William accepted payment of $800.00 for his part witnessed by WM Davis & Rees when the estate was really worth more than $10,000
William Carney states that he was born Feb 28, 1779 and was therefore under age 21 at that time; and that he came to the MS Territory in 1806 and found out the truth about this estate.

Notes:

John Carney, who was 1/4 Choctaw Indian, was born in Choctaw Indian Territory in 1775, as evidenced by Censuses of himself and his children. John was the son of Iklannabee, a half-blood Choctaw Indian Chief and Sally Ann Kearney, a white woman. Growing up, his family resided in Choctaw lands in eastern Mississippi. John Carney was a man of moderate wealth and influence, and while darker than many, could have passed for a white with full privileges. Through various times in his life, John held slaves to assist in his farming/plantation enterprises.

His Mississippi family was related to the Tennessee Carney's through their common heritage with his grandfather Arthur Carney, an Indian Trader, and who had at least two families concurrently. One with a white woman and one with an Indian Chief daughter (Princess), as was the custom at the time in establishing trade relations with the Choctaws. 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.

Some years after the American Revolution, John reached the age of maturity and took a wife. He may have wanted to integrate into American white society and left his Indian lands in Mississippi as a young man, moving to be near his uncle John Carney (B:1748) in time for his first child to be born in 1791 at the age of 16 or 17. We do not know who his wife was, but she is apparently a white girl as evidenced by the diminishing note of Indian heritage. John stayed in Tennessee for around 25 years (during years of turmoil in Mississippi), as several of his children were born in North Carolina and in particular the well documented Elijah Carney, born in Davidson County, Tennessee in 1803. This is further supported by an 1816 Tennessee Court Case, where the State of Tennessee had brought a law suit against John Kerney Sr., John Kerney Jr., and Elijah Kerney over a land dispute. What is important in the filing of the lawsuit is that there are two John Carney's. With the elder John 30 years older than his nephew, it would stand to reason they defined these relations as John Senior and John Junior, from Mississippi origin.

Further to this, we find that one of John Jr.'s children, Nancy Carney - who in 1808 married Bartholomew Baugh in Tennessee, had as a witness to their marriage; John Blackburn - who was the husband of Lucy Carney (John Sr. daughter). You might also notice that the children of John from Mississippi also used many of the familiar family first names bore by the Tennessee Carneys families. All this evidence ties the two family lines of John from Mississippi together irrevocably with the John from Tennessee as close family.

We don't know when John left for Tennessee - as a youth if he was sent there with his father Iklannabee, or as a young man. A possible reason for the relocation to North Carolina/Tennessee from Mississippi was the aborted uprising against Spanish Control in 1781 and when the insurgency was crushed, several inhabitants of Natchez district and surrounds who had taken part or even sympathetic, took refuge in NC/TN. Also, at the end of the American Revolution in 1783, a great migration of persons loyal to one side or another were transitory to different lands. This is the time his grandfather Arthur Carney, was banished from Georgia as an English Loyalist and arrived in east Florida (Mississippi) from Georgia. Many, such as Trader John Turnbull (leader of Spanish revolt) and our John Carney returned later after the Spanish-American war of 1812 ended in 1814, perhaps arriving back in Mississippi in 1817.

William and Arthur Carney being Indian Traders were 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

A few years after Sarah "Sallie" was born in Tennessee, John took his family back to Mississippi arriving by 1817 with daughters Martha, Elijah and Sarah "Sallie". Mary and Nancy were married in Tennessee and John "Jack" Carney took a Tennessee bride, but at some point all the children moved to Mississippi also.

Excerpt from 16 Aug 1932 text written by W.B. Russell age 82:
"Moses Rials, born May 11, 1804, died on his 86th birthday, May 11, 1890. Moses Rials married Sallie Carney, daughter of John Carney, son of Ikenably, an Indian Chief. John Carney's mother was American.
Grandma Sallie Carney had a sister, Pollie, whose posterity dead. She married a Green. I remember visiting her. She lived on what is now known as the Pollie Green place, half a mile southeast of where Uncle John Rials and wife are buried (old Bismark Church). One daughter of John Carney married a Baugh, posterity lives in the counties of Smith, Simpson and Hines."

Other researchers have attached unproven/improbable wives to John. His wife can't be Ann Lucas, because children of Ann Lucas were born in South Carolina, and documentation is clear marriage was too late, and Ann too young, to have had John's children. Sometimes son John's wife Mary Ann Simmons is confused with his dad and of course is incorrect. At the moment, we do not know for certain whom his wife was.

John Carney died before March 21, 1855, (probably around January 1855) when his heirs were found in Marion County Court, making an agreement on the settlement of his estate. His 6 children signed (some with an X) the settlement. In later years, John lived next door to his son Elijah, who was also appointed the executor of his estate.

COMMENT: Between 1820 and 1828- John Carney (the son) seems to be listed in Lawrence County and the rest of the family is in Marion County. This is not hard to understand if you know the area and the history of the changes in the county lines. Part of present day Lawrence County was in Marion and part of present day Marion was in Lawrence. The Pike county line has changed also. This might account for the fact that Elijah Carney was in Marion County in the 1830 census and in Pike County in 1840 census, then in Marion County in 1850.

5. On 30 Dec 1836, John Carney Senr gave a deposition in Lawrence County before J. Caldwell, Clk that he was buying this land for his own personal use and not in trust for another.

COMMENT: All of this land is near present day Lawrence & Marion Co, line. By looking at the map I found that T5N, R11E, - S27, 28 & 34, are SW of Tilton near Tiltons Creek. T5N R12E S16 is where Tiltons Creek empties into Pearl River SE of Tilton. Note Patent #5071: John Jr purchased land in T5N R12E S21 - just over the line in Marion Co, south of S16 (Harmon's land) in Lawrence Co.

Other Comments: Wife can't be Ann Lucas, because children of Ann Lucas were born in South Carolina, and documentation is clear marriage was too late, and Ann too young, to have had these children. Wife can't be sons Wife Mary Ann Simmons. PROOF OF DEATH is the Reading of the Will 1855. Often confused with son John "Jack" Carney in other researchers work.

Elijah CARNEY and Vincent CARNEY bought more land on Dry Fork Creek the same day (6 Jun 1809) from Frederick Stump. All four of these men were listed on the rolls of the 1812 Davidson County Militia. John CARNEY and William CARNEY bought land on near-by Marrowbone Creek in 1812. William Carney Married Rebecca Gulledge, 22 Mar 1802 already in Davidson Co., Tennessee.

From June Pollard, March 2006;
"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..."

From Mary Meyer

"My mother used to tell me: Martha Carney Blackburn and my grandmother Sarah Elizabeth Blackburn (Lowder) traveled by surrey to Washington, D.C. for the inauguration of James K. Polk and both received gold snuff boxes. Sure wold love to see such an heirloom. I have cdopies of the will of Gen.

Notes:

This Arthur is mentioned and has proved the relationship by a Will mentioned in a lawsuit in May 1813, Adams County. In this lawsuit, William is noted as having died without children, and in his Will, his considerable wealth was to be distributed to his nephews, Arthur Carney of the Choctaw Nation and William Carney of Georgia.

John Cummins and Nancy/Ann Breashears, guardians .
Testimony taken from Samuel Gibson of Port Gibson states that Arthur Carney took possession of some cash found in a trunk following the death of William Carney SR. Marian (aka Maria) & Elizabeth were heirs of Arthur Carney. John Taylor is Wm Carney's Att'y. (See WM Brocus VS Thomas Crabb) William Carney was Samuel Gibson's Uncle. WM Carney Sr. who died Jan 2, 1795 left his entire estate to his nephews. Arthur Carney of the Choctaw Nation & William Carney then of Camden Co. Ga. Arthur Carney deceived Williams as to the value of this estate and William accepted payment of $800.00 for his part witnessed by WM Davis & Rees when the estate was really worth more than $10,000
William Carney states that he was born Feb 28, 1779 and was therefore under age 21 at that time; and that he came to the MS Territory in 1806 and found out the truth about this estate.

Arthur applied to Colonel William Wards Register to become a 'citizen' and remain in Mississippi instead of being removed to Oklahoma:

John Edgerill and Arthur Carney had been partners in mercantile business. Elderill began suit in year 1802, in Mississippi Territory, against Carney for an accounting of partnership. In 1803 before any decree or payment as made, Carney died and wife administered estate, she afterwards married John Cummins, who acted as admr. In right of wife until 1812, Edgergill died in 1807 and suite renewed in the name of Prosper and Richard King. The Kings obtained a degree against Cummins and wife, Joseph Nichols and his wife, who was a daughter of Carney

The wife of Arthur Jr's father; GA Arthur Carney was Elizabeth Aderton of Rowan Co. NC per will of her father which identified her...I'm not sure but Arthur Carney of GA may have been from Rowan Co. NC...I'll have to look that up in my NC files "Colonial GA Gen.

Adminstrator of Arthur's estate, John Cummings on OCT. 30, 1804....

Arthur Jr of Liberty, GA appears as a Loyalist (banished with some others that appear on 1779 Natchez petition with William Carney. These guys had Tobacco Plantations there to trade with the Indians so they were influential in Politics according to Dr Donald Panther Yates. This Arthur married Celeste Brashears as his white wife 1797 abt so he shouldn't be the same Arthur that married Mary White in NC, Mary went on to AR and died. The White Family in Choctaw, County , AL. So unless there was a divorce or one came right after the other. Celeste Apparantly may have died in childbirth leaving a Daughter Elizabeth. There was a daughter Marian who we don't know was her mother shows up in the Arthur of Natchez Estates lawsuits that went on til Elizabeth was grown, Her Grandmother Anna Brocas Brashears was her guardian. Matilda Cummings Arthur wife who remarried Cummings was in charge of the lawsuits, Marian may be her dau

His Indian Wife was Hoke who he had Jerry with and was baptised in 1795 Mobile, West florida I am thinking by Arthur, Hoke, Louis Leflore as Louis and Hoke 2 girls were baptised abt the same time. this was before he married Celeste Brashears who was a dau of Richard Brashears Commander at Ft. Tombecbe. She was Young abt 17 and she died 1798. After the Arthur in NC was married to Mary White.

Arthur Carney was in one of the Disappearing Counties, Glynn County, GA.
As well as Traders McIntosh, Others. The Traders ususally had white wives in GA and when they brought trade among the Indian Villiages they had a Indian Wife as part of the Culture. Traders usually had one special village to exclusive trade.So, Bourbon County was in Existance as Natchez Counties 1785-1788 which definitely covers the times we have found Arthur with Jerry. The Arthur Brashears person is either our Arthur who may have come to the area again in 1792 or a son of Arthur from GA. I really think a lot of the evidence supports his going back and forth.. A lot of the traders in those times were Scot-Irish Men or British Traders, Carney of Course having come into the area with the French by 1731 was in an excellent position to develop cultural and leadership ties. It was usually the mixed blood children of these men that attained the stature of leadership during the removal period.so we have 2 ties to Traders with Hoke, Louis, and Arthur. There is a lot to substantiate the close ties with the namesakes of Jerry Kids, that kinship probably thru Hoke.or The father of Arthur I will look more into GA records now that I understand where to look. I think it is possible that the info I found GA Paper re Arthur and his orphans Jeremiah and Margaret is on the money. The Will probably ended up in litigation in GA because of the Brashears. Sometimes the Husband of the Daughters entered into that on their Behalf. Where we see that Jerry was in a suit with John Taylor. That could as well been part of the same suit. Never know if could be the Georgia Archives we find Supreme court info. I knew about these GA land schemes as that was mentioned in the Harrington Info, It is the Harrintons involved with Brashears in the Timeframe 1804.
So, The Arthur JR(maybe) could have inheirited as well. So... Just a line of reasoning.Remember the Elizabeth Carney suit Didn't you find they were found in favor of Carney? same as Jerry.?
This is my short list of reasoning for research at this point. as we left off
Hoke, Lefluers, and the law suits. DJ

Child of Arthur Kearny and Hokey (Choctaw Indian) 4 May 1795 Jerry was elected as Captain of his village to represent them in government affairs. He was a corporal in the War of 1812 Nixon's Regiment. Per June Pollard: On his military discharge papers indicated he lived "in Amite" (probably Marion Co. later)...in l84l & l842 he purchased land in Madison Co. by cash and indicated he lived in Marion Co. MS. He owned lots of land in Madison Co., MS which his heirs filed for in AR but Jerry also owned property in other counties so it is uncertain where he is buried..

Captain was a title adaptated by the Choctaw from white mans ranking system to designate a lower level leader of a band of warriors; with the Chief known as Big Medal, his assistant as Little Medal, followed by Captains leading the groups of warriors.
Jerry was a Corporal in the Mil. The Capt Rank comes a Choctaw Title. War of 1812 Jerry Served in Nixon's Reg. Ikenaby served with Andrew Jackson.Ikanaby also served Choctaws in War of 1812.

OF MS Subject: American State Papers VOL VIII URL http://memory.loc.gov/cgi-bin/ampage?collId=llsp&fileName=035/lls p035.db&Page=686 Link to the Choctaw who applied for citizenship a good copy to save Much has been written about the change in hereditary leadership to an electoral process in nearly all the books written on the Choctaw. This, while true, is misleading. Although the position of Chief generally went to the nephew of the Chief through the sister of the former Chief, the council would chose the canditate also based on his merits as a warrior. H.B. Cushman uses this example in reference to Pushmataha. Presumably, the need for this was that their may be more than one nephew who was vying for leadership. Additionally, the first Chiefs most books referred to as "elected" were descendants of the same three bloodlines as the former Chiefs Mushatubbee (David Folsom and Robert Kincaid), Apuckanubee (presumed relationship, Robert Cole, Greenwood Leflore, Thomas Leflore), and Pushmataha (Oklahoma (sometimes called Tappenhoma) Nittakechi, Pierre Juzan). The descendants of these families continued an active role in tribal government until the Dawes Commission act of 1896, many holding the office of Chief.

Notes:

Settled in Lawrence County, Mississippi.

Moses' first wife was Sarah Sallie Carney, with which he had 9 children. After Sarah died in 1868, Moses remarried in 1869 to Mary Wallace and he fathered four more children. Must consider possibility Mary Wallace had children from prior marriage.

Excerpt from 16 Aug 1932 text written by W.B. Russell age 82:
"Moses Rials, Morn May 11, 1804, died on his 86th birthday, May 11, 1890. Moses Rials married Sallie Carney, daughter of John Carney, son of Ikenably, an Indian Chief. John Carney's mother was American.
Grandma Sallie Carney had a sister, Pollie, whose posterity dead. She married a green. I remember visiting her. She lived on what is now known as the Pollie Green place, half a mile southeast of where Uncle John Rials and wife are buried (old Mismark Church). One daughter of John Carney married a Baugh, posterity lives in the counties of Smith, Simpson and Hines."

The 1870 census for Marion county, MS, Ancestry image 109, lists Moses Rials with wife Mary 37, and children Simon W 15, Joseph 14, Mahala 11 and Jeff Davis 10. This would put Simon's birth year as 1855, 7 years after Sarah Carney Rials 9th child when she would have been 47 years old. All of these children are proper age to be Mary's children.

Elijah McHenry Carney (Elijah's son) stated that Elijah and his father had owned this piece of land jointly for over 50 years.

Tennessee Death Record showed Elijah died of Pneumonia and lived at 1710 Arthur Ave. Shows he lived to 80 years, and if correct, would put birthday in 1812, however the cemetery records his birth as 1813.

ELIJAH McHENRY CARNEY was born to Elijah Carney and Elizabeth Seales Goldsberry, who had married May 22, 1806 in Davidson Co., TN. Known silbings were Asa and John B. G. Carney.

During the Civil War Elijah was a Private in the Confederate Army in Co. E, 18th TN Infantry. Two of his sons served in Co. G, 18th TN Infantry: Private Joseph Elijah M. Carney and Sergeant John Tyler Carney.

Elijah and Sallie had 7 children:

EARLY PLANT AND SEED CATALOG PUT OUT BY EMH ON FILE. CAUSE OF DEATH:PNEUMONIA BURIAL:IT IS BELIEVED THAT ELIJAH AND SARAH ARE PROBABLY BURIED IN THE CARNEY FAMILY CEMETERY ON STENBERG ROAD, BUT THEIR HEADSTONES HAVE NOT BEEN LOCATED THE RESTORATION OF THE CEMETERY HAS NOT YET BEEN COMPLETED BY GLENDA CROSS AND HER FATHER. THE CEMETERY IS LOCATED BEHIND THE OLD EMH HOMESITE IN WHITE'S CREEK. STORY TOLD BY EMMA CLAY CARNEY:THERE WAS A MAN WHO WANTED TO BUY EMH'S PROPERTY AND "UNCLE LIGE" WOULD NOT SELL IT TO HIM. THIS MAN WAS SO DETERMINED TO OWN THAT PLACE, THAT HE DECIDED TO "HAUNT" IT AND MAKE TALK ABOUT THE PLACE HAVING A GHOST HAUNTING IT AND EMH WOULD THEN BE GLAD TO SELL IT TO HIM. SO ABOUT DARK, SOMETHING WHITE WOULD APPEAR OUT OF THE WOODS AND SCREAM LIKE A WOMAN. SEEMS THIS WENT ON FOR QUITE SOME TIME SO ELIJAH DECIDED TO GET HIS NEIGHBORS (MEN WHO OWNED DOGS) TOGETHER AND THEY WAITED (WITH THEIR DOGS) FOR THIS "GHOST" TO APPEAR AND WHEN IT DID, THE MEN AND DOGS STARTED AFTER IT. THE DOGS GOT SO CLOSE, THE MAN JERKED OFF THE SHEET AND CLIMBED A NEARBY TREE ! OF COURSE, THAT ENDED THE "HAUNTING". MISS EMMA SAID THE MAN'S NAME WAS JOE DUNN, BUT SHE DID NOT KNOW IF THIS JOE DUNN WAS RELATED TO MARY JANE DUNN, WIFE OF JOSEPH ELIJAH CARNEY, ELIJAH'S SON. ELIJAH'S LOG CABIN BURNED COMPLETELY TO THE GROUND. THE FIRE STARTED FROM SPARKS FROM A WOOD COOK-STOVE CATCHING WOOD SHINGLES ON THE ROOF AFIRE. PER EMMA:ONE TIME SARAH FRENSLEY CARNEY, WIFE OF EMH WAS SICK AND IN NEED OF MEDICAL ATTENTION SO A DOCTOR WAS SUMMONED. EMH WAS DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WIFE'S HEALTH AND FELT IT WAS TAKING THE COCTOR TOO LONG TO COME, SO HE SENT ANOTHER PERSON TO FETCH HIM. WHEN THE DOCTOR FINALLY ARRIVED, EMH WAS OUTSIDE IN THE YARD WAITING FOR HIM. THE DOCTOR APPEARED TO BE IN NO HURRY AND UPON APPROACHING EMH, OFFERED HIS AHND IN FRIENDSHIP AND EMH PUT BOTH HANDS BEHIND HIS BACK AND SAID, "DON'T TAKE TIME TO SHAKE MY HAND. YOU'RE NEEDED IN THE HOUSE"!!! THIS WAS SAID WITH COOL BLUNTNEWSS. HE WAS ANGRY BECAUSE THE DOCTOR HAD TAKEN SO LONG TO COME TO HIS WIFE'S AID AND WAS IN NO MOOD FOR FRIENDLINESS. HE WAS ONLY CONCERNED WITH THE DOCTOR TAKING CARE OF HIS WIFE, AND MADE NO BONES ABOUT IT. EMH CARNEY WAS KNOWN TO BE A VERY BLUNT-SPEAKING MAN !
