Individual Details

1880 Crawford Co Census. S. M. Carney and family are living in the same household with Eveline (age 20) and A. L. Turner. [I wonder if Eveline is not an additional sister to Silas?] Mother-in-law Eliza Segrave is also living there.

1900 Crawford Co Census: Silas is age 49, b. Jun 1850,widowed, born in Texas. Children Mary Belle, b. Apr 1882, age 18, Chester A., b. Feb 1885, age 15, Manda M., b. Nov 1891, age 8, Bessie E., b. Jun 1893, age 6, and Martha E., b. Mar 1896, age 4 - living at home. Martha is 4 so her mother died between 1896 and 1900.

Silas M. Carney, farmer, was born June 30, 1850, in Rusk County, Texas, and is a
son of William and Evaline (Sartain) Carney. He remained in Texas until five or
six years of age, and then went to Pike County, Ill., by wagon, settling about
thirty miles distant from Quincy. A year later he removed to Crawford County,
Ark., within a mile of the place he now owns. He passed his younger days upon
the farm, receiving a common-school education, and when nineteen married Martha
Seagrave, daughter of Michael and Eliza (Crouch) Seagrave, natives of North
Carolina and Tennessee, respectively. [p.1132] The mother was married in her
native State, and afterward came to Arkansas, where Mrs. Carney was born, and
where Mrs. Crouch now lives, aged seventy-three. Mrs. Carney was a schoolmate of
her husband, and is now the mother of seven children: William M., Sarah E.,
Charles Mc, Laura R., James, Mary B. and Chester A. After their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Carney lived with Mr. Seagrave a year, and then homesteaded eighty acres of
land, upon which they lived five years. They then sold the land and moved to a
farm near by, which they made their home three years, and then settled upon
their present place. Two years later they went to Washington County for a year,
but then returned to Olliver Springs. Mr. Carney has always engaged in farming,
and now owns a nice farm of 240 acres, 150 being well improved and cultivated.
He is a well-to-do man, and politically is a Republican.
