Hello Julie,
Possible match as a brother or cousin of Solomon?: all the info I
have on Thomas Merideth Carter (spelling of Merideth is taken from
tombstone, but could have other spellings) is in the notes below
(blue represents action points or things to verify).
From DNA testing, I believe there is a TN connection, but haven't
made the exact connex yet. Either we share a common ancestor or, for
some unknown reason, my Thomas Carter was born in TN and claimed SC
as his birthplace. I have found no solid records for him in SC
during that period as Census records don't cover that during that
period. My GGFather "showed up" in Pike Co, GA Census records in the
1850 Census married to Louisa Fletcher. Before that it's all
speculation with mixed records.
The closest reasonable record of TMC's father is not in TN, but in
Pike County GA in 1830, believed to have been drawn there by the 1827
Land Lottery. Is there a time period "hole" in your family records
that might match that? Pike Co Carters for the Lottery are listed
below:

COMPANY I, 32nd REGIMENT, UPSON COUNTY, GEORGIA
NICKNAME: "WOODSON GUARDS" PRIOR SERVICE:
Many of the soldiers in this company were originally in Co. I, 6th
Regiment Georgia State Troops.
The only roll of this company on file is the muster-in roll dated May
7, 1862 . In the absence of official records, there are probably many
inaccuracies. In most instances the words "Surrendered at Greensboro,
N. C." were added to roll by members of the company years after the war.
