I have been having a great time with the response from my original posting about Carters
in Greene Co., Tennessee. The following is a list of Carters that were in Surry Co., NC
that was sent to me yesterday by Gayle because the first Carter in Greene county that we
know of came from Surry, NC.
Maybe someone else on the list can help us see if this is the John that went to Greene Co.
in 1783.
Gayle's email to me is in quotes below.
Martha Bell
"Early Carters in Surry County, NC:
Abel, Benjamin, George, Isaac, J., James, John, Joseph, Mary, Nathan, Samuel, Simeon,
William.
Here's the first John:

Absher. It would take me a couple of hours to type them into a timeline. Wish I had the
time right now. sob, sob.
