Hi,

I'm trying to find some information about the Carmain family that lived in Kosciusko in the 1850s. My relative is John Carmain (b. 1846). I'm pretty sure his mothers name was Mary, and he had a brother named Alfred, but I don't have a lot more information. I'd really like to find out about his parents. It also seems like the family moved around quite a bit.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

The 1850 U.S. Census, Indiana, Kosciusko co., Prairie Twp. shows the following.
Mary Carmain 43 b Delaware;Alfred Carmain 17 b. Ohio;
Elizabeth Carmain 15 b Indiana; Malica Carmain 8 b Indiana;
Noah Carmain 6 b Indiana; and John Carmain 3 b Indiana.

1880 U.S. Census, Illinois > Mason > Pennsylvania > 136
John and wife Mary (Bean) Listed with four children.

1900 U.S. Census, Kansas > Coffey > Rock Creek > District 45 Shows John and Mary with five children at home.

Hope this helps
