I am beginning work on a John CARTER, b.1760-80 [based on birth date of
daughter Elizabeth Gertrude Carter in 1798 (in Marlton, Burlington, NJ) and
at least four other children (order of birth uncertain)], md. 1794 Deziah
White, 1774-1854, d/o Rufus White and Sara Johnson.
John and Deziah (White) Carter had children John, Rhoda, William, Deziah
Jane, and Elizabeth Gertrude.
There were John Carters in Nottingham Twp., Hanover Twp., and Little Egg
Harbor Twp, Burlington Co, NJ in 1830, 1840 and 1793 respectively. There
were also John Carters in Chesterfield, Southampton, New Hanover, and Egg
Harbor, Burlington Co., NJ in 1850. None are clear matches with "my" John
(although he may well have been dead by 1850) and none include Deziahs in
the household, although two were of the right age to be John's son.
I'd welcome information or advice from anyone who has worked on Carter
families in NJ.
Thanks!
Michael
