Find Family
I am researching the family of John Carden and Cartha (Catherine) Jane Davis, they were married in Buckingham Co., VA on November 25, 1791, and have 6 children. The family moved to Jasper Co., Georgia circa 1800 and migrated into Pike, Paulding, Fayette, Monroe, Cobb, Spalding and several more counties in Georgia. Some of the family then migrated west into Alabama, Texas and California. My great grandparents, on my mothers side were both Carden's, one married an Atkins from Georgia and the other a Blissit (various spellings). My grandparents were 1st cousins. It seems the Atkins also, migrated west and there are a large number of my Atkins relatives in the San Diego, California area. Some surnames include IVY, RICHARDS, ROBERTS, BLISSIT, CARTER, CAMP, WILLOUGHBY, ABBOTT, CARROLL, COLLINS, and BARKSDALE. It seems there is a connection with almost anyone who was in NW Georgia.
I am adding information from John T. Atkins and Jane Smith from the Polk Co., Georgia area. They are my great-great grandparents. I believe the information I have is correct, or at least fairly accurate, but, if you can add or correct any information please let me know.
It has been a great pleasure to learn and research my family. Doing genealogy has given me a greater respect for history. We have documented proof of a David Carden fighting in the war of 1812 and several family members fighting in the war between the states, better known as "The Civil War." If you can add anything or would like more information feel free to contact me.
I have not had as much time to devote to this as I would like. I will try to keep this current as I have time. If my email does not work try again more than likely the box is full and I have not had time to check it.
I have included new genealogy reports available to view in HTML and PDF. If you want to view PDF you have to click "View PDF".
I would also like to thank Pauline Carden Roberts & Robert Roberts, Joyce Bates, Clarence Atkins, Chuck Carden, Trish Carden, Bobbie Carden, Joyce Carden (my mother) and all who have helped provide information. Thank You!
