Hi Gernilee,
I looked all through my Carters and didn't come up with a William or Russell that fit
the time frame for your father. I also checked the Samuel Carters that I have and the
only possibility is a Samuel Hillman Carter, born 11/18/1843 in Muskingum County, Ohio.
That might make him a little old to be your great-grandfather Samuel Carter but maybe not.
Unfortunately, I don't have any information on him other than his date and place of
birth. His father (David Gay Carter) moved West out of Ohio into Indiana and then on to
Wisconsin when he would have been 6 or 7 and since his older brother went along, I would
assume he did as well if he survived. Do you know your grandfather Carter's name?
Some of my Carter branches ended up in PA but around Scranton. I have no idea of whether
Scranton and Mifflintown are close or far apart.
I don't have any of my Neff's (yet) being from PA, even though the names are very
familiar in my family line.
If you can see any possible connection out of this sketchy information, please let me
know.
Regards,
Charlie

Dear Charles and Becky Neff:
Jeez, what a coincidence. My Father, christened William Russel Carter,
but later called Russel Carter was reared by his maternal grandmother and
William E. Neff. She married Neff in 1905 after divorcing my
great-grandfather Samuel Carter. This was in Mifflintown, PA. The Neff's
ended up living in Nancy Jane Neff's parents house on Main Street in
Mifflintown. By 1920 Nancy Jane and William Neff were living there with my
Daddy, Russel Carter and sister, Jane Carter.

Hi all,
After a brief respite I'm back on the list. I now have my family history
online at the address below. I invite all of my Carter cousins to check
it
out and I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. I am
descended
from Thomas Carter, Blacksmith of Woburn Mass.
Charlie
