Hi,
My husband had his DNA tested a little bit ago (kit 89246), and we
discovered that his was an exact match to that of a McKinney Carter, place
of birth unknown, who had some children in Tennessee in the earlyish 1800s
before moving to Indiana.
My husband's earliest known ancestor to date has up till now been a Solomon
Carter, born 1813 in Wilson Co. TN.
Recently I've been exchanging e-mail with a woman who is descended from Enos
B(enthall) Carter, born 1819 in Wilson Co. TN; I believe he was a brother of
Solomon. She believes that Solomon and Enos's parents were Alexander Carter
(likely born 1780-90 in or near Hertford Co. NC) and Rhoda Benthall (born
after the 1790 census, Sumner Co. TN). Alexander and family and Solomon and
family were living near each other in the 1840 Rutherford Co. TN census.
Other clues we have to work with are that a Cullen Carter and a John Carter
seem to have been close relations to Enos and Solomon. Also, families that
the Carters and Benthalls seem to have known included the names Stewart,
Bond(s), and Bloodworth.
We have not yet been able to determine who the parents of Alexander Carter
were. The Carter needs to be in Group 7 (at
carter-cousins.org).
Does any of this ring a bell with anyone?
Thank you.
Julie (Carter) Carter (my ancestors are in Group 22)
