From Cathy's DaughterHey Uncle Ron! It's Dina. I found out something about Christopher Columbus Carden. He was a General in the war. I went back to the Sons of the Confederacy booth again today and looked up Carden. It was a mile long listing of course, but I found C.C. Carden. It didn't give the area he was over, but it had beside his name " Gen. & Staff ACS ". I had to come tell mom right away. Eventhough it only has C. C., mom seems to think it is definitely Christopher. Isn't that so cool to have a General along with a Colonel in our heritage.The guy I was talking to there said one of his ancestors was in the Battle of Chickamauga also and was captured. He had his ancestors actual release papers.

May have been later spelled Donaldson.
To be proven: There is a high probability that Rachel Donelson, wife of President Andrew Jackson, was Rebecca's aunt.
Note: Joseph Haw states he was living with his uncle John N. McSpadden in Fayette Co., TN when he died. No mention of a wife. Death notice published in National Banner and Nashville Whig spells his name as "M'Spedding" and shows MNI as "A."
