Hi Vince and all....just throwing in what I have on this line.

Misc. Notes
Isaac was 56 in 1850 census, born in Fincastle, Botetourt County, Virginia;
he married Virginia Elizabeth Nutter in Botetourt, Virginia after paying VA

One question I have, you have Martha A. Sarver named as the wife of Fleming
Bowyer Miller Carper and I have her as Martha A. Bell. Do you know if this was
a second marriage for Martha or do I have the name incorrect?
As Rena Worthen puts it "Genealogy without documentation is MYTHOLOGY" and
this is only an allied line of mine so I have gathered some of the information
from other sources. Most of my Carper information comes from the "Smith-Riffe
Collection of the New River Genealogy and History. A monumental work began in
the mid 1930's by Aubrey O. Smith and Judge Winton A. Riffe and was a
collection that delt with 207 families who do or have resided in the counties bordering
the New River in WV and western VA, and several others, including Wyoming and
Boone Co., WV. The collection was transfered to 16 reels of 35mm microfilm by
the Genealogical Socitey of Utah in 1979 and is available in numerous
libraries and archives, such as the Raleigh Co. Library, Beckley, WV; WV Archives and
History Library, Charleston, WV; Library of VA, Richmond, VA; Roanoke Public
Library, Roanoke, VA; and the DAR Library, Washington, DC.

I am making no claims that the above information is correct and should not be
posted as so. This is being given as personal information to be used for
further research and not all has been documented.

Hi!
Here is a question that was posed to me that I think was quite insightful and
likely correct. Do you know? I suspect the 1830 census (if one even existed
for the area) would tell:
"Do you know if Caroline Carper Hutchinson Sarver was the daughter of Isaac
Carper and Elizabeth Nutter? They had a son Fleming Carper married to Martha A.
Sarver."
Here is what I list to assist:
Isaac Sr CARPER b 1787-1795 Botetourt d June 10 1860.
Elizabeth NUTTER b 1794 d aft 1845
Married June 1, 1815 Botetourt County, Virginia.
Children:
Isaac Jr Carper b ?
Cynthia Bowyer Carper b 1820
Elizabeth Carper b abt 1823
Fleming Bowyer Miller Carper b Oct 3, 1825
Mary M. Carper b Dec 27, 1827
Eveline E. Carper b 1832-1833
Harriet L. Carper b 1835-1836
Note this info on Caroline Carper Hutchinson Sarver:
Born February 7, 1830 Died June 21, 1901.
The date of 1830 would fit in nicely between Mary and
Eveline.
Does anyone know or have any database that would
help here?
Thanks!

Subject: [VABOTETO] Another CARPER Tidbit cinching matters...
I just found this on a website:
Caroline Carper
Female
Event(s):
Birth:
1830 , , Virginia
Christening:
Death:
Burial:
Parents:
Father: Isaac Carper Family
Mother: Mrs. Isaac Carper
This seemingly locks it in. Add it to the two tidbits of good timing, and
that Fleming, the prospective brother of Caroline had a daughter himself that he
named Caroline, and it seems good.
Still, I would like any and all tidbits of info, if you know of any - one way
or the other.
Thanks!
