In 1980, I copied this census:
1860 Polk Co., TN Census
P. 392 Family 408
Carden, John 55 Farmer RE 5000 PE 1000 SC
Elizabeth 55 NC
York, Barbara 40 TN
Could this Barbara be the wife of Pleasant York? If so, why is she here rather than in Pleasant's household? In 1840, his wife was 20 to 30, so the age could be correct.
After all these years, I still don't know the answer to that question or to the question, "Why is Barbara York listed with the Carden family?" I've wondered about it ever since. Tonight on the Polk Co. GenWeb site I found a will:
>Will of John Cardin/Carden, Sr. December, 1882 Polk Co., TN
>
>Sixth: I will and bequeath to my son, John Carden, that part of my lands lying and joining V. Miller and M. E. Fouts, lands making the line to commence with corner of the meadow at the lane between me and Fouts and running with the fence to the creek, thence up the creek to the ford,
>thence to run square across the bottom to the hill to a white rock. Thence strate across to the Patterson hollow and thence strate to the York place known as the Barbary York place, giving him the north east part of the farm where he now lives.
This indicates that the Cardens and Barbara York owned adjoining lands. Does anyone know where the land was located?
Can anyone give me information about the connection between these two families? Pleasant York's brother, Abraham, was my gt.grandfather, so that's why I'm researching the Yorks.
