Related Surname Info: Only known reference is a letter written to the bishop of Elphin by American Civil War veteran James Carney in 1912-13. Response from Fr. MacDonald (4/13) in Elphin finds no record of birth or baptism. James and his American immigrant siblings info below is all that is known:
James Carney (says, at variious times:) b.11/1/1830 - 11/1/1837 (probably the correct date) - emigrated to Thompsonville CT about 1857. Married Elizabeth O\'Leary 11/24/1859. Lived in Albany NY from 1/1863. Left family 1880. Lived near Bath and Pultney, Steuben Co. NY until pensioned 1894. d. 10/1915 Hampton-Elizabeth City National Hospital in VA.

James served with the 43d NYSVI from 12/61 until discharged in 11/65. |
