Hi Emma, I traced Carnahan/ Billingsley to a land auction of 1000 acres, list them as heirs but have found nothing further. My line is from John Aaron Carnahan. I have not done much research for several years but have unraveled some misterys on my line. Also looking for a Mary Olive Carnahan, one of my great Aunts, found her in Industry Illinois, at age 16, moved out west at an early age! I beleave Colorado, no proof as yet. Bob Carnahan
