Hi Bobbie! Sorry it has taken so long for
me to get back with you, but I've been on
vacation. Now for Amos S.P. Cardin.
I sent all my information to Ancestry.com and they sent me
a reply (from the Board of Ancestry.Com Committee)
and they told me the Amos Cardin that I was looking
for was Amos S.P. Cardin. He was born 1832 in
Tennessee. He married Margaret N. Taylor. I am working
on this and so far everything matches with my family.
As for the "S.P.", I haven't a clue. While I was home
on vacation, I asked about this. Half the women in
the kitchen got quiet and dropped their heads and
the other half busted out laughing. But not a one
told me what the S.P. stood for. All I heard was,
'Sugar, the Cardins were famous for changeing their
names to suit the need'. It seems that in my line
of Cardins..when they were good..they were GREAT..
but when they were bad..they were BAD. Henceforth,
the name changes came. Now in the family Bibles
you will find the real names and in alot of cases,
as the Cardin men got older and less wild, they
went back to their original names. That is what
makes them so hard to trace. (In my family).
My line of Cardins are also very superstitious people
as well as extremely tight lipped. So it's hard to
get anything from them. lol..God bless their souls.
Anyway, if you are interested in the Amos S.P. Cardin
line, I can send you the information I find. If not,
I wish you the best of luck with your Cardin/Carden
research. Oh, my grandfather's father went by several
different names. I couldn't find any records on him.
This is because he lied about his name when he met and
married my grandfather's mother.
Only when, by the grace of God, I ran across a cousin
who knew who had the family Bible. That's when I
learned his real name. Then it all started falling in
place. Now I'm ending this novel..LOL..
Hope I have helped more than confused you!
Take Care,
Debra
