Charles Henry Carman

Chief Clerk for the Dept. of Mines, Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"Mines Office, Halifax, N.S, April 18, 1879, Dear Sir, For some months I have been trying to collect sufficient data concerning the Carman Family to enable me to make a genealogical table from the settlement of the first of the name in America to the present time. I have been partially successful for when I began I knew nothing of the time of the settlement and had only a list of my Gt Grandfather's family - and such items of our own as had come under my notice.... to Benjamin my Gt-Gt Grandfather. I have not been able to fill up [ all ] the names - several of the family are interested in the Search and have kindly promised their assistance.... Yours truly, Charles H. Carman" - Letter from the Carman file, Ezra Ayes Carman documents, New York Genealogical & Biographical Society Library, NYC.
