Notes

  • Wiley Carew always went by the name Carew.
    He had been sick some time before he died.  An autopsy discoveredcancer and it is presumed that was the cause of death.
    --  Edith Marie McSwain Jenkins

    In the 1900 Arkansas County, Arkansas, census, Wiley's parents havedied and he is head of the household, with his sister Callie andbrothers Matthew and James living with him.  His father George B diedonly two months before the 1900 census.

    A Russell McSwain, age 21, is a boarder in the household of John andJulia Cook 4 houses down from Wiley and his siblings.  For a long timeit was unclear where this Russell came from or how he is kin to them.Like the others he was born in Arkansas, and both his parents wereborn in North Carolina.  I have information on this Russell and hisfamily from later records.

    This Russell is listed in later censuses as Russell A McSwain, and hada son named Russell also.  In November 2011  descendant of JohnFranklin McSwain told me that John had a son named Russell, along withJohn, Charlie and her ancestor George.  I had found records for onlyGeorge.  Russell goes in that slot in the family puzzle.
