Calvin Cheathem Carmack1

Male, #60288, (1887 - )
Father*John William Carmack1
Mother*Susie Baker1
Name Variation He was also known as Calvin Cheetum Carmack.1 
Birth*1887 He was born in 1887 at Paragould, Greene Co., Arkansas.1 
Research note*19 Jun 2009 From: Geraldean Bond

I am the granddaughter of Calvin C. Carmack. His father was John William Carmack, son of John Carmack and Nancy Edwards. Nancy and John are both buried in Linwood Cemetery, Greene County, Arkansas. Their graves are marked. Their daughter in law, Lizzie, wife of Frank, is also buried there, and she is the one who arranged their burial.

John William Carmack married Susie Baker in Alabama. They had two daughters, the oldest named Sue, cannot remember offhand the second ones name, and two sons, David Herbert and Calvin Cheetum or Cheathem Carmack. I am not sure when Susie died, but I feel it was around the time of my grandfather's birth, in 1887, in Paragould, Greene County, Arkansas. David was born in Alabama.

David and Calvin are both buried in Hillsborough County, Florida. David married Annie Hamilton in Greene County, Arkansas. Calvin married Annie Rose Bumgarner in Greene County, Arkansas.

It is my understanding that John William Carmack remarried to a T. L. Scroggins in Greene County, Arkansas. That he left the two boys with an aunt who died in her sleep. That John never returned for them and they were raised in a series of foster homes. It is also my understanding from David's daughter that John William and T. L. Scroggins had a son, that would have been a half-brother to the two above boys.

I have never been able to find where John William, Susie or T. L. Scroggins Carmack are buried.

The family can be found on census records in Georgia, Alabama and Arkansas and possibly eventually in Florida.
