Hi,
I've been trying to track down the father of my husband's earliest known
ancestor, Solomon Carter, born Wilson Co. TN in 1813.
Last evening I found an old thread by someone who is descended from Enos B.
Carter, born about 1818 or 1819 and married 1837 in Wilson Co. (Solomon
Carter was the bondsman), whom I believe to have been Solomon's brother.
This person suggested that Enos's and Solomon's parents were Alexander
Carter and Rhoda Benthall (from North Carolina). She says they married in
1809 in Sumner Co. TN. I did find Solomon Carter (in his 20s) and family
apparently living next to (the older) Alexander Carter and family in the
1840 Rutherford Co. TN census.
I haven't found any indication of who Alexander's parents were.
My husband is in Group 7, genetically speaking.
Anybody in Group 7 have an Alexander who could have lived in Tennessee in
1809?
I haven't been able to contact this other poster, so far. Her old e-mail
address didn't work, and she didn't list a last name or anything, to help
track her down on Google.
Thanks for any tips.
Julie (Carter) Carter
