Frank,
Thank you of the offer of the obit & photos.
Since I have discovered I am not related to the Carmean family, but more likely descend from a Carman of IL (still seeking), they would not be as important to me as to others who might visit this site.
Re: Catherine B. Huffman obituary which
"says that she married Mr. Carmean in 1824 and lived with [him] for 10 years."
Let us first clarify that "Mr. Carmean" is: Zebulon "Zeb/Seb" Carmean (b 1800) s/o Pearson Carmean (1779 MD-1858 OH)
"Marriage Records of Ross County, Ohio 1798-1849" says:
Carmean, Teb m. Hufman, Caty 27 Mar 1823 vol. GB p. 489
Commean, Seb m. Hufaman, Caty 27 Mar 1823 vol. GB p. 489
I can't explain the double reference on the same page or the misspellings but there they are for what it's worth.
[The transcriber may just be careless]
[This came off the web, but I failed to note the site. Google it & it should come up.]
There you will also find:
Wilgas, Sanuel J. (sic) m. Carmean, Catharine 06 Aug 1837 vol. GD p 172.
Furthermore:
1850 Census: Concord, Ross, OH: Samuel Wilgus 63 Farmer b PA, Catharine [Carmean] 45 b V (?), Nancy 12 b OH, Samuel L. 8 b OH, Pearson Carmean 23 Laborer b OH
Here Catharine's son by Zeb named Pearson after his grandfather is living with her, further confirming she previously married a Carmean.
Note the 3 spellings: Wilges (you give), Wilgas (Marriage Records give), & Wilgus (1850 census gives).
I presume Wilges prevailed in your line.
That's all I have about this branch of the Carmean family.
Hope this helps.
