I have a Carter Green Downey, b. Oct 1828, Woodburn, Warren Co., KY, d. Feb 1, 1904, same locale. Buried in Old Zion Church Cemetery, Woodburn, Warren Co., KY.

I have Carter's parents as Abraham Downey, b. in Bowling Green, KY, c. 1805; d. in 1904. He married Martha Patsy White, b. in Surry Co., NC, c. 1798; d. in Warren Co., KY in 1863. I don't have any other siblings of Carter. The Downeys are in the 1880 federal census for Rich Pond, Warren Co., KY.

Carter married Mary Jane Mason on Nov 28, 1854 in Warren Co., KY. She was b. Dec 8, 1837, Warren Co., KY; d. May 28, 1914, Woodburn, Warren Co., KY. Buried with her husband.

Carter and Mary Jane are in the 1880 federal census for Rich Pond, Warren Co., KY, with most of their children. The censuses of 1880, 1910, 1920 and 1930 follow this family.

The children of Carter and Mary Jane are:

Mundora Downey, b. ?
William Samuel Downey, b.1856
John Edward Downey, b. Mar 28, 1859
James Mortimer Downey, b. Feb 1861
Mary Bell Downey, b. 1864
Elizabeth Downey, b 1862-65
Mabel Downey, b. Nov 4, 1866
Juanita Downey, b. c. 1868
Nettie Downey, b. 1869
Robert Lee Downey, b. 1871

I am descended from Elizabeth Downey, who married Samuel C. Kellis in Gallenton, Sumner Co., TN on Mar 30, 1879. Samuel was born in 1860 in KY and died there in 1940. Samuel and Elizabeth are in the 1880 federal census for Rich Pond, Warren Co., KY.

Looking for more info on this family, have much to share on descendants.
