The will of Richard Carman, drafted in 1801, and sealed after his death in 1805 lists his ten children, including the spouses of the married daughters.
Baptism records for daughters Peggy, Ann, Sarah, and Phebe exist and are cited below.
Confirming the parents of Richard Carman has proved a challenge. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!
