Joan Karn (c1730-1779)

Joan Karn was born in approximately 1730 in Cornwall, England. Her origins are currently unknown, but she could be the daughter of Henry Carne, baptised in Ludgvan on 24/3/1715. If this is her, then her siblings are Mary, William, Henry, Anne, Margaret and Thomas. She would have also been 15 years older than her husband when she married - this is not impossible, but unlikely, which is why I have ruled this out as her parentage at this time.

It should be noted that surname Karn is often spelt in different ways, the most common way being Carne, but Karne and Carn have also been used. The spelling of Joan's last name is based on what is used on her marriage record.
