Linda, The DNA is taken from a Carter male. I wish one of your male
relatives would do the DNA. Nothing to it, just a swap of the mouth, and
send it off. Do you have a little boy in your family, he could do it. I
will keep you posted, but we don't know for sure about your Carter family,
unless there is a DNA. Too many Carters with the same names. Nancy

Hi Nancy;
Thank you so very much Nancy for responding to my email about the
Carter's.
I don't have any further information on them except what I had written to
Kelly about.
Gosh, it would be great if our lineage did connect as I am at a loss on
how
to find this part of my ancestry. I was so excited to have found the 1850
Census in Weakley County, Tennessee with William D. Carter (married to
Mary Ann
Lawler). I don't know either of his parents names, where in N. Carolina,
etc. According to the census he was a saddler. I also know that on
Ancestry.com
they listed him in the 1850 Census as William D. CASTER and not CARTER.
I have not been able to convince any of my brother's, cousins, Uncles to
do
the DNA even though they have interest in the lineage. From what I
understand,
the DNA needs to come from the male in the family to be accurate?
Please keep my email address in case you should happen to run across
something. I guess I just need to keep begging one of them to do the DNA.
(I offered
to pay for it to be done and that didn't work)
Thanks again,
Linda Overby-Hedge
