I am researching Allena "Lena" A Carlton, b. Oct 1885 in Texas (1900 Erath
Co TX Census).
She married Charles C. Britton in Erath County, TX in about 1908..
Her parents are known to be Blake Carlton and Mary E. Richey.
I find the family in the 1900 Census; Erath County, TX. Blake (his first
name is hard to read in the census) Carlton and he was born Feb 1828 in
Georgia and states his father was born in North Carolina - cannot read where
his mother was born. His wife, Mary, was born Nov. 1841 in Texas. They
state they have been married 39 years which puts the date at 1861.
Does anyone know of this Blake Carlton?
Is he perhaps a son of James C. Carlton, but when I look at census records
for him, there is not a listing for child born in the 1828 age grouping for
James C.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
