Treasure Chest Thursday... George Carneix Civil War Records

Very little is known of George Carnefix's military service in the Civil War, other than what we find here.

We know he served as a Private in the Virginia Militia's 108th in Company F.

His name appears on a roll of names of individuals who received payment.

And again, he served as a Private.

George Carnefix was married to [1] Susan Elizabeth PATTESON about 1852 or '53. Susan died between 1858 and 1860. And on 02 May 1860, George married Mary Susan Daugherty of Monroe County.

George and Mary had one daughter, Elizabeth, born in 1861.

George is one of the individuals believed to have died in the Battle of Cedar Creek, Virginia on 19 Oct 1864. He never returned home.

Susan later married Jacob Wickline.

Today I'd like to focus on one of my ancestral surnames that I can't recall ever having mentioned before. Carnefix.

George W. Carnefix [1831 - 1865] married: Mary Susan Daugherty [b. 1834] We are unsure of Deorge's birthplace, although we suspect Campbell County, Virginia. He died in Sweet Springs, Monroe County, West Virginia. We are unsure of his burial place.

William Carnefix [1770- 09 Sep 1856] married: Nancy Holsapple [b.1792 - 1868] Born in Campbell County, Virginia, and died there. Burial place unknown.

William E. Carnefix [1730 - Nov 1812] married: Esther Maxey [1739 - 1812]

John Carnefix [all information unknown].

As you can see from this very basic outline, my family tie with the Carnefix line begins with my maternal great-grandmother, Elizabeth Carnefix.

While I have the above information, I have to admit that information of that before William Carnefix and Nancy Holsapple is not my own, and I have not had time to verify. I'd like to think Santa would bring me a magical clock this year that would allow me to get 30 or 32 hours into each and every day! Oh what a help that would be! Perhaps then I could find the time to get to this line of my family!
