    Notes:

    From Robert Spencer Carney:
    My Gt Grandfather John Spencer Carney was a country doctor and farmer who died in 1901, about 50 (52) years old. He did not have a medical degree but was licensed on the basis of apprenticeship. Oral tradition was that he was a medical aid or something similar for the Confederate Army. If true, he would have just been a young teenager. Most medical people in the South were civilians, not in the military, and not strictly veterans. Thus, documentation is absent. Sometime after the war he moved from Cheatam Co west to Haywood Co TN. My Aunt Ruth told me that he had a farm and had his medical office in his home on the farm. After Dr Carney's death his widow and 3 sons (Joseph Monroe, Claude Shannon & Hiram Spencer) moved slightly west to Ripley in Lauderdale Co.

    Explaining west Tn geography. That part of the state was only opened for white settlement in 1820's. Lauderdale Co is on the Mississippi River. Ripley was a thriving farming town... mostly cotton. John Spencer settled just to the east in Haywood Co. Tn. Modern maps show his farm's location (Carney Road) as in Lauderdale Co. The closest cross-roads town is Nutbush Tn. It's most notable as the singer Tina Turner's hometown.

    Notes:

    From Robert S. Carney:
    of the sons, my grandfather JM farmed the family property in Haywood Co and another farm in a county north of Ripley. He also had a general store and a minor elected position, clerk of court. Another son Claude Shannon Carney (C.S. Carney Sr.) had one son C.S. Carney Jr (used initials only) who was a successful lawyer and judge on the TN state supreme court. The third son Hiram Spencer Carney is pretty much a blank for me.
