Subject: John Carter 1769 VA-OH
I need help!! I have been going through the archives and hope that someone on this list
will recognize my Carter Family, the founder of the "Witness Protection
Program".
John Carter was born, according to his headstone June 9, 1769 in 'somewhere",
Virginia according to his 9 children and census records. John married Mary
Lehr/Lahr/Lohr/???
Dec. 25, 1797 in Shenandoah County, Virginia. Witness and bond - John Beaber, by George
Fronch. This is all we have documented in Virginia. There is a daughter, Rebecca Burke
Carter born one year prior to the marriage (whoops)! Have no idea where the Burke came
from, however, she handed it down to her first born son and none of the other children had
the Burke name. Children: Nancy born in Virginia, married an Allison as did Rebecca,
Nancy was born 9 months after the marriage. The there was John, George, Isaac, William
Allen, Robert, Thomas and Mary C. Carter. John and Nancy Carter went to Ohio around 1802
and settled in Gallia County, Ohio - All of the boys listed place of birth as Ohio, first
son, John was born in 1802 in Ohio. My Grandmother and Great Grandmother started trying
to find this out and I want to find out who John belonged to before I die!
