| My earliest known ancestor was John Carney of Nenagh, North
Tipperary, Ireland. His only known son was Richard Carney who served in
the British Army for several years and retired to Portsea, Hampshire,
England about 1814. After Richard died in 1824 his wife Charlotte married a widower Joseph Crowe. In 1833 Joseph and Charlotte emigrated to Canada, accompanied by most of the children from both families. They originally settled in Simcoe County Ontario. Richard Carney's eldest son was also named Richard. He was, perhaps, the most notable of the children, becoming the first mayor of Owen Sound, Ontario, and later the first Sheriff of Algoma at Sault Ste. Marie. The Carney families lived mainly in the Owen Sound, Meaford and Walters Falls areas of Grey County in the early years, consequently there are many links to other families in these areas. Many have generously shared their information with me and I would be delighted to exchange information with others. I have additional information on many marriages and children which are not included. The sources for this genealogical information have not been provided, but they are available on request. |
