* father: War of 1812 Veteran, U.S. Private in Colonel D. McCOBB's 45th U.S. Infantry, James Henry CARMAN, Sr. (c.1784-1824) born in New York, USA, dies July 14, 1824, in Southwark, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA, of debility. One account says that James, Sr. is a saddle-tree maker; James, Jr. becomes a saddle-tree maker, too. One note says that James, Sr. is buried in "Cemetery: Methodist Southwark." James, Sr.'s father was American Revolution Veteran, U.S. Private in Colonel S. DRAKE's Milita of Yorktown, New York, Henry CARMAN, Sr. (1746-1816) who loses an arm -- and survives -- from an accidental pistol-shot into his shoulder during the American Revolution.
* mother: Mary (Schellinger) CARMAN (unknown-unknown) born in New Jersey, USA. The 1862 Philadelphia City Directory does list an Aaron SCHELLINGER living at 340 Wharton Street who works as a saddle-tree maker. Maybe Aaron and Mary are related? Mary's father/grandfather may be William Henry SCHELLENGER (1746-1827) of Cape May, (Cape May), New Jersey, USA.
* James, Sr. & Mary have two children on record:
1.) James Henry CARMAN, Jr. (1820-1901) marries Rebecca P. (Brown?) CARMAN (1822-1886), they have possibly eight children. James, Jr. works as a saddle-tree maker; teamster; harness maker; sells flour, feed, and grain at his own store "J.H. Carman & Son" with his son Florence; builds carriages at "J.H. Carman & Co." with John C. BECHTEL and Lewis HAYS -- the feed store and carriage shop are next-door to each other at 672 and 674 North Broad Street; and later as a casemaker. One record suggests that Rebecca P. had previously married a "William Henry COLLIER" and that he fathered her son William Henry before marrying James, Jr. But I never see Rebecca's son listed as a COLLIER, so I will assume that James, Jr. is his father. As a widower, James, Jr. remarries Frances M. (Parker) CARMAN (unknown-unknown); James, Jr. has one more daughter with Frances.
2.) Mary Jane (Carman) MULFORD (1823-unknown/after 1900) marries George W. MULFORD (1820-unknown/after 1900); the 1900 Federal Census says they have one child.
* James, Jr. is born May 20, 1820; Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA.
* January 22, 1840; Philadelphia, (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, USA
James, Jr. (19) marries Rebecca P. (Brown?) CARMAN (17). One record suggests that Rebecca had previously married William Henry COLLIER, but I cannot find anything to confirm this.
* James, Jr. & Rebecca have possibly eight children:
1.)

(Daniels?) CARMAN (1840-1894); they have eight children. As a widower, William, Sr. remarries Elizabeth S. M. (Gaillard) CARMAN (1840-1918).
2.) Civil War Veteran, U.S. Sergeant in WOOLDRIDGE's Company of Sappers & Minors attached to the 106th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, James Henry CARMAN, III (1840-1893) works as a wheelwright, marries Selina (McCollum) CARMAN (1849-1884); they have three sons. As a widower, James, III remarries Anna M. (Howe) CARMAN (1856-1899).
3.) Civil War Veteran, U.S. Private, Company B, 72nd/3rd Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, Charles Florence CARMAN (1842-1870) works as a pattern-maker's apprentice, marries and divorces Susannah F. (Whartnaby)(Carman) RESTINE (1840-1899). Susannah remarries Frederick C. RESTINE in 1868.
4.) Civil War Veteran?, U.S. Private (for twelve days), Company A, 20th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment, Sheppard Odgen CARMAN (1844-1865) works as a salesman and a driver, marries Mary? Elizabeth S. B. (Cree)(Carman)(Shuster) HOHENSTEIN (1847-1917); they have one daughter. As a widow, Elizabeth remarries and divorces Philip SHUSTER (1846-unknown/after 1910); they have two children. Philip works as a butcher. Elizabeth remarries Harry HOHENSTEIN (1859-1914) about 1889.
5.) George Shiffer CARMAN (1846-1914) works as an iron moulder, dies from injuries sustained from a trolley car striking his head at age sixty-eight. George's death certificate lists him as a widower.
6.) Florence Ogden CARMAN (1850-1918) marries Catherine Elizabeth "Kate" (Pinder) CARMAN (1852-1928); they have three sons. Florence works in the flour, grain, and feed family store with his father.
7.) Annie (Carman) RIEGNER (1852-unknown/after 1900) marries Howard Y. RIEGNER (1848-unknown/after 1900); they have five children. Howard works as a machinist.
8.) Charlotte A. CARMAN (1872-1877) lives five years. Charlotte's death record does list James & Rebecca as her parents, but Charlotte's listed address of 812 East Norris Street does not match other known addresses. Rebecca is fifty years old when Charlotte is born in 1872.
