History: At the Crossroads of Farmingdale
The Carman family established its roots on Long Island in 1643. John Carman and the Reverend Robert Fordham came to Long Island from a small settlement in Connecticut to negotiate Long Island's first real estate transaction between the settlers and the Indians. Carman and Fordham returned to Stamford with a compact signed by the Indians granting them sixty-five thousand acres of Nassau County including half of the huge meadow known as Hempstead Plains. Eleven generations later, in 1928, the law firm that is now Carman, Callahan & Ingham LLP was founded by the late, Honorable Willis B. Carman, Sr.. The law firm has always maintained a general practice.

Judge Willis B. Carman, Sr., the "Judge", was born in Amityville on March 6, 1901. His father and his father's branch of the Carman family had lived in Amityville continuously since 1776. The Judge was in the first graduating class of Farmingdale High School - the class of 1917. He married Marjorie Sosa in 1927 and they had three children, Marcia Joan, Willis, Jr. and Gregory.
