Researchers should check
John Carmean Descendants Site.

Since I started sharing this information with others over the
past 40 years. Quite a few websites with newer research on the
descendants has connected my Data from the 1700's where I was
working down with the current work of others who were working back.

One of the better connections to those working on completeing
the Carmean/Cremean lines is at
http://www.rootsweb.com/~ohross/Genealogy%20Reports/genealogy_charts_c.htm.

If you find other websites on Carman/Creaman that I should list here
Please send them to me at DrG@execpc.com

I am still gathering information on Descendants through the Grayless lines of
Mary Grayless Carmean and her sister Fillie (Philadelphia) Grayless Carmean.

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

Thank you so much for providing your Gradeless Family Index online. I
was quite excited to find my ancestors Nancy Grayless (871) and John
Carmean (1116) included in the list. I would be very grateful for any
information you might have on this pair. I am also interested in finding
their parents. Would either of the books the "Ancestors. Relatives and
Descendants of Nathaniel Gradeless" or "The Grayless/Gradeless Family
Register 1743-1993" contain this information?

Thank you for your help.

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

Thanks for your response to my question about Nancy Grayless and John
Carmean and for giving the origins of the Grayless name. This is the
first of 8 names in my Grandmother's line that is actually Irish. I find
this rather intriguing considering my grandmother always claimed to be
Scotch/Irish. I guess she just didn't know about all the German. Dutch.
English and French in the family tree!

I have printed a descendant chart for Nancy Grayless and John Carmean
and will send it along with my check for the book. I only discovered my
Grayless. Carmean and DeHaven lines over the summer and most of what
I've learned about them came from some very helpful folks at the DeHaven
Club. (John and Nancy Carmean's son Jesse was married to a Mary DeHaven.
 You may already have this information. but in case you don't. the
Club's address is

DeHaven Club
913 Chasewood
Denton. Texas 76205-8203

I did have one more question for you. Does the 1743-1993 book contain
just basic stats (birth. death. marriage dates) or does it also have
some of the family stories?  I am really most interested in learning
stories about Nancy and her ancestors and was wondering if I would find
more of what I'm looking for in the other book?

Thanks for all your help.

Subject: Carmean Notes

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

Thanks -so- much for taking me back three more generations on my Carmean
line. I've included a bit more info that wasn't contained in my
descendant chart on Nancy Grayless. I hope you find it useful.

That story about John Carmean being an orphan from Holland came from a
book on the History of Ross County. Ohio. I never gave it too much
weight and am glad to have the correct info.

Please -do- add me to your list of researchers. One would think there
must be more of Nancy's descendants around and about.

I'm really looking forward to reading your book.

Thanks Again.

Time flies.
I haven't been working on this line at all. but my cousins have. Ken
MacAllister made a trip to Ross and Allen counties this past summer and
sent me a box of stuff on the Cremean lines that he copied. 98% of which
doesn't apply to my family. Love his enthusiasm. Vonda Heverly has also
been working hard in that area. Do you have their e-mail addresses?

Another contributor to the info below is another cousin. Jack Wilson. who
says he has been researching the family for 10 years. His information on
the Stephen Wilson family varies somewhat with the other info I have. If
you want to write him. he is at: 9820 Flag Stone Pl.

Subject: Re: Carmean Notes

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

I received your Grayless book a week ago and have updated my program
with the info. Between that and the Carmean data you sent. I've added
quite a few ancestors to my chart in the last month.

I searched the large Carmean file you sent me. but couldn't find the
name of the contributor as you requested. I hope some of the data I sent
helps you to sort out some of these Carmeans.

I look forward to getting more info on the Hayman branch from you. I
don't believe you sent me the research notes file on the Maryland
Carmeans. You said at one point that you had some stories on them. is
this what is contained in that file?  If so. I would sure love to read it.

There's a woman with the DeHaven club who helped me a great deal with my
Carmeans. Do you mind if I pass on the info you gave me to her? I think
she would find it interesting.

Thanks again for the book. I look forward to hearing from you again.

In comparing your SHOBE list with my database of over 14,000 descendants of
Jacob and Martin SCHAUB that came to USA in 1737. I came across a couple of
names that I can not place. RN 4706  and 4678. Could you please provide
additional information of these if available. It appears that both are

Subject: DeHaven /Carmean connection

I saw your information under the Whitley Co. IN Geneological Society web
site.
I am interested in the entry for Mary DeHaven Carmean because Mary was a
cousin of my greatgrandfather John C. DeHaven of Ross Co. Ohio. I have
information about Mary and her husband and children. but nothing beyond that.
My information is. as follows

  Mary  was born in 1804 in Columbia Co. PA to Harmon Dehaven and Magdalena
Gearhart. Her parents moved to Ross County in 1805; his parents and siblings
had moved to Ross County in 1800. Mary was a twin to Catherine.
Mary married Jesse Carmean 12-9-1825 in Ross County. They had 6 children.
Jesse was born 1803 or 1804 and died in 1859 in Ross County. Mary died in 1863
and is buried in the Westen Methodist Cemetery in Chillicothe.

I will be interested in knowing if this information agrees with yours. and if
you have any knowledge of descendants. beyond the children. I am sure that
there is information about the DeHaven side that we can supply. if you are
interested.

She was born abt 1820 (possibly 15 Dec 1820)  in Ohio. She married
George Noll b. 17 Apr 1819 in PA. on 1 Dec 1839 in Allen Co. Ohio. Mary
died 15 Dec 1891 in Orient. Adams Co. IA and George died 17 Aug 1899 in
Orient. Adams Co. IA.

We have thought that Mary A. Cremean was the daughter of Smith (your RN#
1090) Cremean and Mary "Polly" Dillon (#1093). We thought this was a
possiblity because Smith Cremean had land adjoining Michael Noll. the
father of George Noll in Allen Co. Ohio. If Curtis D. (#4513) is a son
of Smith Cremean then our Mary would not fit in as their births would be
only six months apart. Perhaps Mary A. Cremean is a niece of Smith
Cremean or we may have her birthdate incorrect. Any help you can give us
in placing Mary A. Cremean in the correct family and extending our lines
would be greatly appreciated. We are happy to share all our information
with you. We are interested in grouping all the Cremean/Carmean families
correctly and could use your help greatly.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.
                    Sincerely.

Dr. Gradeless.
My ancesters were Cremeans in Caroline Co. Md (family tree below) and I
wonder that your line was also in Caroline Co. Md the same time and we
were unaware of any Cremeans from Holland. I am very interested in
sharing info with you on these families to see if they may somehow
connect. My line is John Crimine. John Cremeen/Cremeans II. Elijah
Cremeens/Cremean/Carmean. Andrew Josiah
Carmean/Cremeen/Cremeans/Cromeans. Jackson I Cromeans. Eli Crockett
Cromeans. John Allen Cromeans. Aghra Dale Cromeans.
At the present I am searching for more info on my gg-grandfather Andrew
Josiah son on Elijah and Sarah Cremeans/Carmean and born in Caroline Co
MD in 1783. My records have a gap from his birth in MD. until he came to
Itawamba Co. Ms in 1830's -40's.
Thank you very much.

Dr. Gradeless.
I was informed that all the Cremeans/Cremeens/Carmeans lines in MD and
especially Caroline Co. previously Dorchester Co. were from John
Crimine of County Cork. and was surprised to get the email from Gayle
that claimed the  Holland connection. I have checked with other of our
researchers and have been assured that the Curtis Cremeen she claims was
born in Holland was in fact one of our Irish lines. I don't know where
the girl got her mis-information. but indeed the
Cremeans/Cremeens/Carmeans in MD were from Ireland. If you read my
descendent chart you would see that John Crimine came over on the Crown
Maligo. I thank you very much for your help and appreciate your files.
Thanks again and have a great day.

Dear Donald.
    We have very little information on our Cremean line. What we do know
is that Mary A. Cremean married George Noll on 1 Dec 1839 in Allen Co.
Ohio. This information comes from Broderbund disc #400 Ohio Mg. index
1789-1850 all counties. Broderbund disc #2  IL. IN. KY. OH. & TN
marriage index 1720-1926 has the marriage listed as Mary CORMEON and
George Hall 00 Dec 1839. Allen Co. Ohio. We know for sure that George's
last name is really NOLL not Hall because their daughter Julia Noll is
my gg grandmother. My aunt and I both feel that Mary A. Cremean
(Carmean. Carmine) is the daughter of one of Smith Cremean's (Your
#1090) brothers. Perhaps you have information on these siblings of
Smith. We would be thrilled to know who all of the brothers and sisters
are and their birthdates. We believe his brothers are Jacob. William.
James. Jesse. and possibly Zeb. Are we correct in this supposition?
    The children of George Noll and Mary A. Cremean are as follows

            Jane                     b. 1841 Ohio
            John                     b. 1842 Ohio
            Charles                 b. 1843 Ohio  (Died in Civil War)
            Jesse                    b. 1844   Auglaize. Ohio
            Catharine (Kate)            b. 1845 Ohio
            Adeline                          b. 1847 Ohio
            Mary                             b. 1848 Ohio
            Suzy                              b. 1851 Ohio
            Lucretia Alice Louise     b. Aug 1852 Ohio
            Julia A. Noll                   b. 25 Sep 1855 Kossuth.
Auglaize. Ohio .
               (My gg grandmother)

            The family then moved to Iowa and one more child was born
            Josephine                        b. Oct 1857/1858

As you can see we are just starting to get leads on this line. I hope
that you will be able to help us place her with the correct family.
Thanks for your time and effort on behalf of our search.

Dr Gradeless.

I do not recognize the name Custirs. I can get back to Preston Cremeans
and no further at this stage. The best guesstimate I can make is that he
is the grandson of Higgins Cremeans. Higgins then traces back to the
Maryland mainline Cremeans family. It seems there are a bunch of West
Virginia Cremeans and then another group of Ohio/Indiana Cremeans.

There is some suggestion that Preston's mother was a Sarah Cremeans and
she never married Preston's father. This may or may not be true. But I
am almost certain that my Cremeans line goes back to the Maryland clan
and ultimately back to Ireland. I just can't make that link from Preston
to Higgins yet. .

Thanks.

Jackie

When I met Mary Ballard at the Museum in Lima it was a
real comedy scene. It was nearing closing time and I asked
the librarian for the Cramean file. She asked if I was related
and told her that the Allen Co. Cremeans were descended
from the Grayless Family. She told me that one of her friends
(Mary Ballard) had been looking for a Grayless for over 30 years.
I told her they were real and that I was here. She gave he a
telephone call and as fast as her car traveled she was at the
museum just as it was closing. We went to the parking lot and
because it had just started sprinkling. I opened the hatch back
on my Ford Escort and unhocked the package shelf so it was
make a tray. I set up the portable printer and the portable computer
and started printing family group sheets for her. Just about half
way through the sprinkle turned into a downpour!!!
I mean a real downpour!  Mary and her umbrella. I had a Golf
Umbrella. The rain was coming down so hard it was bouncing up
to  the height of the car bumper. The Wind was blowing so hard
that it was tipping the printer over which was protected by the rear
hatchback but the wind began blowing sideways and getting under
on the computer. Finally we got the last sheet out of the printer.
Everything was soaked. We looked like we hadn't even been under
the umbrellas it rained so hard. I shut everything off so it would not
short out from getting soaked. Only two dedicated genealogists would
have been so stupid to stay out in the rain and lightening to print family
group sheets!  If I can locate all the pages I copied last summer
I hope to work on them this summer.




Letters from Clara Mitchell. Preston. MD.

July 3. 1980  Dear Don.

I am sorry to have been so long in writing
you. Its seems you forgot to send me the paper showing what you already
have learned.
        When I wrote you recently. I was under the impression that you were
under the Berry line. What I was referring to was that the first Wm. Berry that
we know of was in that group of puritans that can to A. A. Co. in 1650. As you
probably know they overthrew the Lord Baltimore and set up their own government
for a short time. Richard Preston was one of the group of Commissioners who
rules the colony. He lived at Patuxent. He was also Secretary of State since the
records were kept at his home. The first Wm. Berry married his daughter. Dorchester
County was set up in 1669. Before that Berry was in Dorchester County. He owned
land there. lower part. but not recorded in thier land records since they had not been
started. They may be in Talbot since that part of Dorchester was then a part of Talbot Co.
The first time I have found his anme was in Jones' History of Dor. in a roster of men
who fought the Indiands in 1678. Berry later moved to Talbot co. One of his sons
moved  to Kent Co. Del. I am wondering if your Wm. could have been his son
since the Todd land is so close to the Del. line.
        I have been working on the Willis line for many years. Mrs. Edward Sparrow of
White Plans. N. Y. is now the official Willis historian. She has been to see me many
times. She may come this summer. Here late father. Charles Willis spent a good part of
his life looking up his line. He found this in Quaker records
        Thos. Willis was in Talbot Co. in the 1600's. I may have dates.
        His sons. John & Richard fought in the Indiana insurrection from Talbot Co.
They were under Capt. Dawson. Richard bought a Farm "Roadly" in Dorchester Co. on
the Transquakin River at now DeCausey's Bridge from Thos. Taylor. We have their
records. Brother John bought 50 a of "Wantage" one the Blackwater River about five
miles from Cambridge about where the Bird Refuge now is. This John had many
children. His eldest son John in 1719 came to Preston area & bought land. He had
several sons. Richard another son. In fact 2 sons names john - several other. I can get
them for you. One was names Joshua. We have no records of a Joshua buying land or
anything else until Joshua began buying land after the revolution. Land records in
Denton. He seemed to be the only Willis who was wealthy. I am wondering who his
wife was. We have only her first name but Hunting Creek was full of Rich men so that
could be the answer. One of his tracts was on "Paynter's Range" where I took you to
the old brick house. His son Joshua Jr. owned it and lived there. He sold it to his
brother Peter. We believe he (Peter) built the brick end. He was wealthy and his son
married into a very rich family--Rowens. There is so much known about this Willis
family.
        I was given this notation. Willis' Landing 1805. Petition of Joshua Willis of
Dor. Co. Petitioner's deceased father (Joshua Sr. had surveyed tract (another tract
of Joshua Sr. names Sr. 's children :  Elizabeth Everingham. Joshua Willis (your
petitioner). Frances Baker. Deborah Lucas. Charles Willis. Peter Willis. Thomas Willis.
James Willis. John Willis. Annaretta Fleming and Mary Willis. his only children.
        I have a deed of Michael Lucas who bought land from Murray heirs for land just
beyond Linchester. near Preston for 423-1/2 acres.
        Another item I have -- 31557. 1781 suit Wm. Higgins & others. Samuel Lucas &
other 1835 about estate of Michael Lucas at time of his death a suit was already in
progress between Lucas & the heirs of Wm. Pattison. left to his niece Margaret Grayless.
all the land in Caroline his father bought of Wm. Robertson."I also give to my said niece
Margaret Grayless 35 acres of land in Dor. Co. (description given) remainder in upper
district to brother Samuel Lucas."  Will send whole script if you wish it. Dora says
Joshua Lucas married Deborah Willis.
        It seems as if Joshua Willis Sr. dau Deborah married Michael Lucas. He died and
Left Samuel & Michael . Samuel's niece was Margaret Grayless. So her father must
have been Michael Jr. Is this correct?
        I can not find anything before the revolution in Md. on Grayless. Are you sure he
did not come in from Delaware. Nothing in early settlers lists.
        What we have on Todds through their family research. this is a family that is very
proud of the Todd Family. In a nut shell:  Robert Todd immigrant 1650 in Virginia.
came up into A. A. Co. across the bay to Dorchester Co. before the 1699. No land
records in Dor. of early Todd deeds. But we do know that Michael Todd owned many
Farms. Todd's Point in Dorchester is on the deep wide Water. One of finest in county.
Married an Insley. His son Michael Jr. married the Johnson  and left Dor. and moved up
into now Caroline on road between Concord & Delaware. land still in Todd family.
The woman who owns it is a good friend of ours and has taken us to see the old home. not the
oldest one but still very old.
        The Lucas's owned the land where Denton now stands. Denton is our county seat.
Lucas brothers laid out the town and sold lots. Have his documented in Eleanor
Horsey's book.
        I have been looking in Md. Calendar of Wills and can find little on Harmon. no
Grayless. much on Johnson's. I find in 1600 a Philadelphia Rawlings. Also a Phila. in
the Williams family. Shall I pursue this line?  I am enclosing some notes but you may
already have them. Id o not go to the courthouse anymore but Dora does. She does this
professionally. but she has not gone for some time since she is recovering from a cat bite
on her and. We are now trying to decide what to do with the cat. He has several bad
marks against him. but we are so fond of him and he was hanging by his leg when he bit
here. otherwise it would not have happened. He is too good for cat food. will eat only
the finest meat. liver. fish. etc. We are keeping him in now to see if rabies develops but
he is no more rabid than I am.
        I am pleased to tell you that the Cheegum (Brick) house has had a lot of work
done on it. Were thinking of selling it to son who planned to tear down oldest parts but
that plan fell through.
        Hope to see you this summer. If coming let me know. Clara Mitchell

Dear  Sir or Madam.

 Hello my name is Mary Carmean-Valstar I am a descendent of Homer Sydney
Carmean of Eden Maryland. I am his grand-daughter.

Here is the little I do know about my grandfather’s family. His father’s
name was Grover Cleaveland Carmine and his mother’s name Mary Rudart. I
believe his
brother’s and sister’s name was Morris and Ruby I am not really to sure
though. My grandfathers children’s name as far as I know are Homer Rowley .
Albert. Sue. Doris. Veria May. Thelma. Homer Sydney. Fritzie. Pauline.
Albert. Isabel. and Eugene. If you could help me find out more information.
correct or add to what I already know. I would greatly appreciate it.

I am gathering information about our family history. I am currently working
on the surname branch of Carmean. and I wonder if you could give me any
information about them. In particular I am looking for names of  parents
and grandparents. great grandparents. birthdays. marriages and the year of
marriage. death records. children . grandchildren and brothers and sisters.
I feel that our future generations should know about those that came before
them. Any pictures. paper clippings. stories you would like to include
would be greatly appreciated. If you send any of the above mentioned items
they will all be returned to you.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. If you would like. I would
be happy to send you the family information that I have already collected
for this branch.

Sincerely.
Mary Carmean-Valstar

Subject: HOLLAND. SHOBE. IRELAND. and CREMEAN Surnames

My name is James D. Holland. I am a descendant of James Holland and
Elizabeth Jane Ireland Holland. James had the following children
John. Thomas (my GGGgrandfather). Wesley. William. Stephen. Rebecca
(Vanwey). Eliza (Shobe). Elizabeth Jane (Werts). and Sarah Ann
(Crawford). Thomas married Sarah Ellen Hasting and in 1869 the Thomas
Holland family. Ned and Eliza Shobe family. Abram and Rebecca Vanwey
family. Jesse and Elizabeth Jane Werts family. and George W. and Sarah
Ann Crawford family moved to Coffey County. Kansas. The Hollands
settled 1 mile north of Hamilton. Kansas in Greenwood County. The
Shobe's settled near Burlington. The Werts' settled near Gridley.
Kansas (there's a rumor going round that the town was platted on the old
Werts Farm). The Vanwey and Crawford families (along with a few
children of Thomas Holland) settled the town of Protection. Kansas.

I would be very interested in receiving a gedcom from you for the Shobe.
Ireland. and Cremean families. The Ireland and Cremean are largely a
mystery to me.

I've got a website set up to display my work. Eventually I hope to
trace all descendants of Thomas Holland and Lorena Cahill Holland. the
parents of James Holland. You can check it out at

Mr. Gradeless

Thank you for your response. Wow this is really exciting. If it isn't to
much trouble could I have all three. I have some information from diffrent
people who sent me letters on the Carmean name. My husband has promised to
scan them into the computer for me but has not got a chance to do so as of
yet. Hopefully it will be this weekend. I could send you all of that
information when it becomes available to me on my computer. I am not sure
if you belong to any genealogy sites but http://www.ancestry.com is having
a free trial for a month that may help you out a bit. that is if you do not
already use that service. I could also send you the information by mail
that is up to you. I have also gotten e-mails from diffrent people I could
send you. If you would like any of the information I have please let me
know. Thank you again for your response and time.

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

Thank you so much for providing your Gradeless Family Index online. I
was quite excited to find my ancestors Nancy Grayless (871) and John
Carmean (1116) included in the list. I would be very grateful for any
information you might have on this pair. I am also interested in finding
their parents. Would either of the books the "Ancestors. Relatives and
Descendants of Nathaniel Gradeless" or "The Grayless/Gradeless Family
Register 1743-1993" contain this information?

Thank you for your help.

Subject: Re: Gradeless Family Index

Thanks for your response to my question about Nancy Grayless and John
Carmean and for giving the origins of the Grayless name. This is the
first of 8 names in my Grandmother's line that is actually Irish. I find
this rather intriguing considering my grandmother always claimed to be
Scotch/Irish. I guess she just didn't know about all the German. Dutch.
English and French in the family tree!

I have printed a descendant chart for Nancy Grayless and John Carmean
and will send it along with my check for the book. I only discovered my
Grayless. Carmean and DeHaven lines over the summer and most of what
I've learned about them came from some very helpful folks at the DeHaven
Club. (John and Nancy Carmean's son Jesse was married to a Mary DeHaven.
 You may already have this information. but in case you don't. the
Club's address is

DeHaven Club
913 Chasewood
Denton. Texas 76205-8203

I did have one more question for you. Does the 1743-1993 book contain
just basic stats (birth. death. marriage dates) or does it also have
some of the family stories?  I am really most interested in learning
stories about Nancy and her ancestors and was wondering if I would find
more of what I'm looking for in the other book?

Thanks for all your help.

William? (children of Jesse)

How's the computerizing coming along?

Dear Dr. Gradeless.

I received your Grayless book a week ago and have updated my program
with the info. Between that and the Carmean data you sent. I've added
quite a few ancestors to my chart in the last month.

I searched the large Carmean file you sent me. but couldn't find the
name of the contributor as you requested. I hope some of the data I sent
helps you to sort out some of these Carmeans.

I look forward to getting more info on the Hayman branch from you. I
don't believe you sent me the research notes file on the Maryland
Carmeans. You said at one point that you had some stories on them. is
this what is contained in that file?  If so. I would sure love to read
it.

There's a woman with the DeHaven club who helped me a great deal with my
Carmeans. Do you mind if I pass on the info you gave me to her? I think
she would find it interesting.

Thanks again for the book. I look forward to hearing from you again.

In comparing your SHOBE list with my database of over 14,000 descendants of

I saw your information under the Whitley Co. IN Geneological Society web site.
I am interested in the entry for Mary DeHaven Carmean because Mary was a
cousin of my greatgrandfather John C. DeHaven of Ross Co. Ohio. I have
information about Mary and her husband and children. but nothing beyond that.
My information is. as follows

  Mary  was born in 1804 in Columbia Co. PA to Harmon Dehaven and Magdalena
Gearhart. Her parents moved to Ross County in 1805; his parents and siblings
had moved to Ross County in 1800. Mary was a twin to Catherine.
Mary married Jesse Carmean 12-9-1825 in Ross County. They had 6 children.
Jesse was born 1803 or 1804 and died in 1859 in Ross County. Mary died in 1863
and is buried in the Westen Methodist Cemetery in Chillicothe.

I will be interested in knowing if this information agrees with yours. and if
you have any knowledge of descendants. beyond the children. I am sure that
there is information about the DeHaven side that we can supply. if you are
interested.

My Aunt and I are searching for information on Mary A. Cremean.

She was born abt 1820 (possibly 15 Dec 1820)  in Ohio. She married
George Noll b. 17 Apr 1819 in PA. on 1 Dec 1839 in Allen Co. Ohio. Mary
died 15 Dec 1891 in Orient. Adams Co. IA and George died 17 Aug 1899 in
Orient. Adams Co. IA.

We have thought that Mary A. Cremean was the daughter of Smith (your RN#
1090) Cremean and Mary "Polly" Dillon (#1093). We thought this was a
possiblity because Smith Cremean had land adjoining Michael Noll. the
father of George Noll in Allen Co. Ohio. If Curtis D. (#4513) is a son
of Smith Cremean then our Mary would not fit in as their births would be
only six months apart. Perhaps Mary A. Cremean is a niece of Smith
Cremean or we may have her birthdate incorrect. Any help you can give us
in placing Mary A. Cremean in the correct family and extending our lines
would be greatly appreciated. We are happy to share all our information
with you. We are interested in grouping all the Cremean/Carmean families
correctly and could use your help greatly.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

Carmean of Eden Maryland. I am his grand-daughter.

Here is the little I do know about my grandfather’s family. His father’s
name was Grover Cleaveland Carmine and his mother’s name Mary Rudart. I
believe his

though. My grandfathers children’s name as far as I know are Homer Rowley .
Albert. Sue. Doris. Veria May. Thelma. Homer Sydney. Fritzie. Pauline.
Albert. Isabel. and Eugene. If you could help me find out more information.
correct or add to what I already know. I would greatly appreciate it.

I am gathering information about our family history. I am currently working
on the surname branch of Carmean. and I wonder if you could give me any
information about them. In particular I am looking for names of  parents
and grandparents. great grandparents. birthdays. marriages and the year of
marriage. death records. children . grandchildren and brothers and sisters.
I feel that our future generations should know about those that came before
them. Any pictures. paper clippings. stories you would like to include
would be greatly appreciated. If you send any of the above mentioned items
they will all be returned to you.

I appreciate you taking the time to help me out. If you would like. I would

Dr. Gradeless

My name is James D. Holland. I am a descendant of James Holland and
Elizabeth Jane Ireland Holland. James had the following children
John. Thomas (my GGGgrandfather). Wesley. William. Stephen. Rebecca
(Vanwey). Eliza (Shobe). Elizabeth Jane (Werts). and Sarah Ann
(Crawford). Thomas married Sarah Ellen Hasting and in 1869 the Thomas
Holland family. Ned and Eliza Shobe family. Abram and Rebecca Vanwey
family. Jesse and Elizabeth Jane Werts family. and George W. and Sarah
Ann Crawford family moved to Coffey County. Kansas. The Hollands
settled 1 mile north of Hamilton. Kansas in Greenwood County. The
Shobe's settled near Burlington. The Werts' settled near Gridley.
Kansas (there is a rumor going round that the town was platted on the old
Werts Farm). The Vanwey and Crawford families (along with a few
children of Thomas Holland) settled the town of Protection. Kansas.

I would be very interested in receiving a gedcom from you for the Shobe.
Ireland. and Cremean families. The Ireland and Cremean are largely a
mystery to me.

I have got a website set up to display my work. Eventually I hope to
trace all descendants of Thomas Holland and Lorena Cahill Holland. the
parents of James Holland. You can check it out at

http://www.uftree.com/UFT/WebPages/hollandj/THOMAS/index.htm

Hope to hear from you soon.

Thank you for your response. Wow this is really exciting. If it isn't to
much trouble could I have all three. I have some information from diffrent
people who sent me letters on the Carmean name. My husband has promised to
scan them into the computer for me but has not got a chance to do so as of
yet. Hopefully it will be this weekend. I could send you all of that
information when it becomes available to me on my computer. I am not sure
if you belong to any genealogy sites but http://www.ancestry.com is having
a free trial for a month that may help you out a bit. that is if you do not
already use that service. I could also send you the information by mail
that is up to you. I have also gotten e-mails from diffrent people I could
send you. If you would like any of the information I have please let me
know. Thank you again for your response and time.

A helping hand from the Roots Allen List recommended I find your page
on the net. I'm glad I did. You have my ggggrandparents. Deborah
Carmean (1453) and Stephen Wilson (1454) listed in your index. I
descend through their daughter. Martha Ann (30 May 1834-31 Jan 1923)
m. John Black 28 Oct 1851 in Ross county and emigrated to Marion
twp. Linn county. Iowa soon after the death of her mother. Also
living in Linn in the 1856 Iowa Census are Abraham Black and his wife
Malinda Carmean (abt. 1816-19 Sep 1861).

I have evidence that John was the son of Isaac Black and Grace
Woodford. Abraham. I believe. was his brother. I'm not sure where
Malinda fits in the Carmean family.

I am trying to make some order of the Carmean/Cremean descendents
of Curtis and Philadelphia Grayless. Over the last couple years I
have found and been given lots of information. Unfortunately. much of
it is unvalidated and some of the descendent lists I have been given
are very unreliable. I will share any information I have and the
sources for the information.

Any help you can give me on the Carmean-Greyless ancestry will also
be greatly appreciated.

Town" (jwtown@compuserve.com) To: Donald Gradeless (DrG@execpc.com) Hello Donald Gradeless: I have been looking through your website and wondering if you could shed some light on my Carmean family tree. My ancestor was Curtis Carmean (1806-1882. not on your list) and the info I have from relatives is that he was the son of Daniel Carmean/Cremean (757) by his first marriage. This Daniel later remarried Jemima Hire (758) and had many children. the last one born in 1849. Since Daniel would have been abt 71 by then I have to wonder if there were two Daniels involved or just the one. Also. if Daniel was born in 1778. his mother Philadelphia Grayless (860) born in 1766. would have been 12-13 years old. That might be possible. but I wonder if you could confirm these dates for me. Do you have any information regarding Daniel's first marriage (which would have occurred before moving to Ohio because my ancestor Curtis was born in Maryland) or on the date of his death? If you can look this up for me in your files. I would be very grateful for any information or suggestions you could send me. Sincerely. Caroline Town. Alexandria. VA.

While researching William Thomas Holland. grandson of James and

Protection. Kansas on the 1900 Census. Here's the line.

Crites Eli   Head   w m  March 1826  74 M 36    Ohio      Penn     Penn
       Mary  Wife   w f  June  1828  72 M 36    Ohio      Ohio     Ohio

There were several other Crites in Protection. likely children of this
couple. Is this Mary Crites likely Mary Jane Cremean. Of course the
Cremean family is connected to the Ned Shobe. who married Eliza Holland.
aunt of William Thomas Holland. William Thomas Holland lived two
dwellings away from the Crites. Mary's birth date and death date
differs from the one you have reported for Mary Jane Cremean Crites. I
just thought that the coincidence was too overwhelming to overlook.

What are your thoughts?

He was the son of John Nelson Cremean and Armitta Brand Peters.
John Nelson Cremean was the son of William Jackson Cremean.
William Jackson Cremean was the son of Edward Smith Cremean.
Edward Smith Cremean was the son of Curtis Cremean and Philadelphia
Grayless.

Hi Donald: Thank you for the interesting information about Philadelphia
Grayless' ancestry. I had not received a reply to my first email so I
appreciate the opportunity to ask again. I can't quite reconcile
Philadelphia's birth in 1766 with her son Daniel's birth in 1778. . not
impossible but pushing it. I just wonder if his mother was someone else
instead. or if she just had children very young.
My other question related to Daniel's first marriage to Lilly. who was the
mother of my ancestor Curtis Carmean (1806-1882). I have no info on her at
all or on their marriage and would love to find some.
As to his second marriage to Jemima Hire. I had wondered if it was the same
Daniel Carmean because of the age. but I have since found him in the 1850
Census. hale and hearty at 72. living with his 47 year old wife and 8
children. the youngest only 1 year old!
I will be most grateful for any information you can send me that will clear

Kate;
Have you ever heard about this story. . sanremo@primenet.com (Iversons') sent
me this snippet of info about the Carmean's and Maddux' (I had requested
information about Dorcas Carmean and Zachariah Maddux) Robyn Iverson wrote
"I don't hae much information on her. but her father was either Levin or
Thomas Carmean. who were brothers. They moved to Ross County. Ohio about
1810 from Carolien County. Maryland. She is a namesake of one of their
younger sisters. Thomas and Levin's father was Elijah Cromeen. a member of
the Nicholites. and later a convert to the Quakers. If I recall right. there
were a few marriages between the Maddux and Carmean families. I believe the
madduxes were also from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. In fact I have a very
interesting story about some Tories. namely a Smith Carmean. a Zerobable
maddux and two Conderson brothers who pirated a ship in Chesapeke Bay and
made off with the valuables."

"I believe I too may be a descendant of either Thomas or Levin. but there is
little information on who their children were. There were also cousins of
Thomas and Levin. Namely Curtis and John Cremena (they spelled their last
name a little different). but many of Curtis and John's children later
spelled their name Carmean as well. Curtis and John's children are better
documented. leaving me to try and find the remaining unconnected Carmean
children of Ross County and somehow find out if their father was Thomas or
Levin".

In the LDS records for Ireland. that is where most are found. My book on
researching Irish surnames also says not to go by the current spelling of
your surname! We have found at least 25 variations of the current spellings.
NOT including the ones with an "s" at the end. It has been a daunting task
since most were illiterate. and they reproduced exponentially! Each
generation! At least until my Gr. Grandfather. Allen Co. Ohio Historical
Library was the most fruitful for info. I have been meeting cousins I never

you anywhere near there?  I will try to get the info to you a generation at a

Children:  Royal A. (Burt) Carmien
        Carrie E. Carmien
        James Melvin Carmien b. 9 May 1861 d. Oct 1946 m. 21 Nov
        1880 Nancy Elinia Riley
                 Minnie Louella Carmien (as above)

The parents of Andrew Jackson Carmien were

William Carmean/Carmien b. 13 Oct 1803
        d. 10 Jan 1882 MD
        m. Rebecca Dillon (b. 13 Oct 1803; d. 10 Dec 1882 MD)

Children: Jessy F. Carmean b. 28 Sep 1829; d. abt 1897 OH/IN; m. 18 Mar
1858 Elkhart IN Mary S. Sendon(er)
        Elizabeth Carmean b. 28 Sep 1831; d. young
        Andrew Jackson Carmean (as above)
        William H. Carmean b. 8 Jan 1836
        Charles Curtis Carmean b. 20 Jul 1838
        Mary Jane Carmean b. 30 May 1840; d. young
        John Allen Carmean b. 9 Sep 1842

(the preceding information is substantiated by the 1850 census for
Jefferson Twp. Elkhart Co IN. but for the children the first is spelled
Jesse. Andrew Jackson is A. J. Charles Curtis is just Curtis. Mary Jane is
Jane. and John Allen is Allen;  later on. Andrew Jackson is known as Jack.

In the preceding generation I had unknown parents with two children

William Carmean (as above)

Pierce Carmean (who I now believe is  Pearson)

Much of the above is taken from the Scamehorn family history and should be
considered preliminary. but I'll try to check it out. I'll be interested
to see if you agree and. if so. would like to see how it fits with earlier
lines of the Carmean family. I understand that that is not the original
spelling either. according to some.

Thanks again for your help. I will pass this on to others in the
Scamehorn-Carmien family who do take an active interest in genealogy.
These are now in the Traverse City MI area.

Looks to me from your web page the we have much in common. I am
searching my wife's Allen County,)hio/Ross Co/Maryland links and I found
you. I was born in Colombia City. IN in 1951 and have many Noble/Whitley
and Kosc. family ties. My wife. Ann Thompson b. 1951 in Van Wert Ohio.
is related on her mother's side to many of those in your list. Flora
Matilda Baxter(4612) married A. J. Stemen and is her great grandmother.
I'm having trouble finding the connections on your page e. g. I am trying
to find parents for Mary Carmean Baxter(4618). Also . What is the
facinating connection with all those Carmean/Cremeans?  Is this an Irish
or and English name?

I live near Rockford. IL. Isn't Brookfield near Milwaukee?  Maybe we
could get together to compare notes.

 Dear Sir:

 Thank you for your prompt response. The subject Emma CREMEAN was a
defininte match. I note that she was buried in Florence CO. and that is
the location where my father was raised. I originally get Emma CREMEAN and
Richard A. Grove from their marriage license. There may be one
inconsequential errer regarding her death place. The county listed was
Pueblo; however. on the marraige license. it indicates that Florence is in
Fremont county.

If interested. I can supply most of the geneology from Emma CREMEON to
present.

Again. thank you for your assistance.

Very truly yours.

Donald.

I am searching for the ancestors of a Curtis Carmine/Carmean who was
born in MD around 1814. He married a Susannah Towers. Would this be
the Curtis Carmean in your family?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Donald - I'm researching information about Elizabeth Cremean (#4632). I
was wondering if you have any information on her?

I'm a descendant of Elizabeth Cremean who - according to my family tree -
was one of Edward "Smith" Cremean and Mary Dillon's children; however. she
is never listed in any report/family tree on the web. Mary's obituary
states that she did in fact have 12 children. . but most people report that
she only had 11. I am curious to know if your Elizabeth is the one I've
been searching for. Perhaps my Elizabeth is indeed the 12th child?

I do know that Elizabeth married Robert Staples. They had a child named
Harriet Staples. I would be happy to send you the obituary if you'd like to
see it.

Thanks so much. Marla Schalow

Hi Dr. G.

I found your index while doing a search for some ancestors of mine. I found
them on your site:

#4616  Dillow. Frederick
#4607  Baxter. Jane

I am interested in what you know about them and their families.

Dr G:

Thanks for the information that you sent to me. Most of it was new to me and
very interesting. I would love to know more about these older branches. Do
you have a GEDCOM file you could send me?  The names GRAYLESS and CARMEAN (I
have seen it as CREMENE) are new to me. and apparently they are in my direct
line.

As I said in my first email to you. I am a descendent of Kisiah Dillow &
George B. Reed. Let me know what info you need on this branch. I have been
interested in finding a link between Frederick Dillow and the large number of
Dillow families from North Carolina and Southern Illinois. Many of the
Illinois Dillow's are in-laws in some of my other branches. Frederick Dillow
is the furthest back in the chain I have of my direct ancestors.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I am attaching a report that shows my line from Frederick Dillow/Jane Baxter.
on down to me. I would like to know more about their ancestors. It looks as
though you may not know about the Dillow family. but it looks like the
ancestors of Jane Baxter are in your family. Anything you have on these
lines would be appreciated.
