Dear Reader.........from time to time I stumble onto information that augments prior postings and want to update as I find time. The original posting is Carnahan Divorce but here is more data on John Carnahan - I worked backwards from the obit of his daughter, Jennie Carnahan Deuchar, to develop this detailing:
John Jackson Carnahan, born 26 Feb 1807, probably Chillicothe, OH, was first married to Rachel Vandever(e), 24 Jan 1829/1830 in Ross Co, OH. The couple had seven children:
1.Elizabeth (5 Dec 1830 – 30 Aug 1831)
2.Mary Wilson (11 July 1832); mar Oscar Mott, 11 July 1865; she was a nurse in CW
3.Joshua Vandever (30 Oct 1834 - 11 Nov 1857 Bryan, Pulaski Twp, Williams Co, OH); mar Sarah Ward, 24 Dec 1856, Williams Co, OH (Marriage V2 p166); his widow married Uri G Sumner, 25 Feb 1860 in Williams Co, OH
4. Nancy “Jennie” (4 Dec 1836); mar Edgar Deuchar, 8 Nov 1860, Williams Co, OH (Marriage V 3 p138)

7.Catherine Stephens (28 Mar 1846 – 21 July 1865) CW nurse; died of typhoid
Rachel Vandever(e) (on marriage license as Rachel Vandervost/Vandervort) was born in Ross Co, OH on 9 May 1809 and died near Columbus, Franklin Co, OH on 3 Dec 1850. She was the daughter of Charles and Sarah Stephens Vanderver(e).

Sometime after his first wife’s death, John Carnahan moved his family to NW Ohio where in Defiance Co, OH on 26 Oct 1856 (Marriage V1 p136) he married Mrs. Susannah Clark, a widow, b. 1820, PA; she was formerly Susan Griffith who had married Thomas Clark in Williams Co, OH on 11 Mar 1839 (Marriage V1 p34). The Clarks were parents of at least five children:

2. Mary Ann

Mary Ann 8 OH
Joseph 4 OH
Elizabeth 2 OH, plus three lodgers, William Morse 19 NY shoemaker, NW Allen 20 CAN, and John Glower 23 PA wagonmaker
After the divorce:
John evidently had moved to Kendalville, IN. In the 1880 Elkhart, Elkhart Co, IN federal census p547 a John Carnahan was listed as John 73 OH with PA native parents, flagman on railroad, and he lived with the Oscar and Mary W. Mott family. His obit mentioned that he was a longtime resident of Kendalville and his daughter, Mrs. Deuchar, survived him. There was no mention of his marriage to Susannah.
The Bryan Democrat, 4 Feb 1892, p5 c3
John Carnahan died at Elkhart on Tuesday and his remains were brought to Bryan Wednesday for burial. He was formerly a resident of Bryan and enlisted in Co E 38th OVI in December 1861. In Apr 1863 he was discharged from the service on a surgeon’s certificate of disability. He returned to Bryan and remained here several years, serving the village as marshal for one or two terms. He subsequently moved to Elkhart where he resided for nearly a quarter century. He was about 75 years of age.
