Hello,
My lineage also might come from Halifax, Co. NC. What Hapolgroup does your line come from.
I am of J2 which is extremely rare in The U.S. We are at a deadend but have strong data
from Cumberland and Halifax counties.

Gayland Carter b 1941, s/o Forrest Bland Carter 1911-2006, s/o Bedford Forrest Carter
1888-1963, s/o David Edmond Carter 1852-1941. I do not know where the name Gayland came
from, however my Carter line did come in from North Carolina. Our ancestor David Carter
was in the 1790 Duplin Co., NC census, and he was in Washington Co., GA by the 1810
census, and by 1820 he was in Hickman Co., TN, 1830 Perry Co., TN and in Tishomingo Co.,
MS by 1840 census. He had a land grant in Hickman Co., TN on 15 Jan 1819. They were both
in TN about the same time. Helen

My father's name was Gayland. His grandmother was Janie Carter, but from
Sumner and Wilson Counties, TN, and Allen County, KY. Our family comes from
Harris Carter in Halifax County, NC, into TN by about 1822. We don't see
many men with the first name of Gayland. I just wonder if we have a
connection. I was named after my father.
