Hanover January 7th A.D. 1847

I Abraham Lyon a resident of Hanover in the County and State aforesaid, aged 67 years being first duly sworn according to law do on my said oath depose and say that in the year 1802 in the County of Alleghany now Beaver County in the State of Pennsylvania I become acquainted with William & Mary Carnagey husband and wife then residing in said Alleghany County and have since that time been familiarly acquainted with the family of said William & Mary, that in 1802, the said William & Mary had five children to my certain knowledge that they called theirs to wit; 

Nancy, Jane, William, Alexander & Hannah, and that all of said children now reside in said Hanover except William, and the said William husband of said Mary was a Revolutionary Pensioner of the United State at the rate of $96. per annum and died in Liverpool about the 26th day of October, 1841, and that his widow the said Mary Carnagey now resides in Hanover in the County of Ashland and State of Ohio, and remains a widow.  

I have heard the said William relate his Revolutionary service according to the best of my recollection I heard him say that he served under Capt John Lacy and under Col or Gen Wayne, names of other officers not recollected and I believe he said that he served in all about eighteen months. 

I am well acquainted with the hand writing of the said William Carnagey and have frequently seen the family record that his widow the said Mary now has in her possession   recorded on the inside of a book cover, said book intitled the Westminster Confession of faith, said record contains the dates of the births of the said William & Mary the date of their marriage
Page 52

and the births of five of their oldest children. I believe and have no doubt but what said record was made by the said William in his own hand writing and made at a very early date. I do not know of any other family record or of any public record of the date of the marriage of the said William & Mary or the dates of the births of their children besides the record above mentioned

Dear Sir - 

Can you give me information regarding the Revolutionary War
only one -
record of William Carnagay (Carnegie) who married Mary Simms 11-24-1790.  Their son
William Carnagay (B. 6-27-1794- 8-8-1850)
married Jane Foster (B. 11-19-1805 D.9-27- 1882) Marriage date of Wm & June 11 - 22 - 1822.

According to family tradition William Carnagay Sr. fought in Ohio, possibly with "Mad Anthony Wayne" & later settled in "Western Reserve". Also, William is said to be related to
Andrew Carnegie, supposedly Andrew's
grandfather. I had always understood
that Andrew Carnegie came to America with his father in 1848 from Scotland, where he was born 1835.
I am not particular to establish this connection, but would like to
Page 55

prove the Revolutionary record
if possible from the information
herein.
Thanking you for anything you
be able to tell me.
Sincerely yours,
