"The second and largest migration of settlers, the Carmichael Party, to the area appears to have originated in 1826 from Surry and Stokes Counties, North Carolina (Stokes County, N.C. was formed from Surry County, N.C. in 1789). Two things are immediately important to note, first, of the great number of these families (possibly as many as 20 or more) to immigrate to Indiana, many to most appear to have direct ties to Calvert County, Maryland in at least one of three basic forms: they had previously lived in Calvert County; had brothers and sisters in Calvert County, or had married a spouse in or from Calvert County, Maryland. Secondly, nearly all of the family histories and genealogies specifically mention anti-slavery feelings among the settlers who migrated to Indiana. This migration appears to have included the families of Archibald and Martha Pennington Carmichael II, Alexander and Mary Ann Holder Carmichael, Joseph B. and Elizabeth Holder Carmichael, Richard and Mary Graves Carmichael, Adam and Elizabeth Carmichael Fulk, Hugh McWhorton and Martha J. Carmichael Cullison Dobson, William and Sarah Carmichael Martindale, John B. and Elizabeth Carmichael Martindale, David and Frances Weaver, Peter and Lydia Teague Graves, Charles �Carl' and Maria Margaret Krause (Crouse) Holder, John and Elizabeth Breeden Gardner, Isaac and Rebecca Burch Gardner, John and Mary (Shear) Sharr, William Hall (from Maryland), William and Lucinda Edwards Carter, San Shelton, Pleasant Fossett, Fuel Burch, William Inman, James and Sanford Stone, Thomas and Nancy Lister Oliphant, James and Christiana Crane, Richard Crane, Charles and Mary Nelson Foddrill, John and Magdelinne Baker Foddrill, James and Brazilla Gordon King, and Charles Burch. While the largest portion of this group migrated together in 1826 there appears to be a 2-4 year period over which a few of the families completed the trip having worked or lived briefly in Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee."
