Envy
One can imagine how I felt when I read this.
A quick check of the 1870 census for Virginia Burd puts her living right next door to Pauline Gelstin- a daughter of Samuel Carbis and Mary Ann Logan- who in turn lives right next door to, yep, Samuel Carbis and Mary Ann, where my seemingly orphaned G.G.Grandfather is being raised as a Carbis.
The photo of Virginia would be a photo of the sister of my illusive Maggie Carbis. Wouldn’t I just pass stones to see it ?
All of this started from a simple Google search : Carbis Steamboat
And how I felt when I read this : Her dark hair and high cheekbones attested to the fact that her maternal grandfather was a full-blooded Tuscarora Indian.
Uh, her mother’s name was Mary Ann Logan. Well, I guess I’ll have to check that story out.
But my Kerlin’s are very dark eyed and haired…
