Researching descendants of the Allen Carter family from Georgetown, Sedgwick, Stetson,
and/or Etna, Maine.
The Eldridge family who married into the Carter family in the mid 1800s in Etna,
Penobscot, Maine. I believe the Eldridges were from Clinton, Maine area and the Carters
from Etna, Maine at that time. Some of the Eldridges then moved to the Etna, Maine area.
I would also like to know if anyone has data on the Kate Smith who married Oliver Allen
Carter Sr. I believe they lived in Augusta before her death. They had two daughters born
in the early 1890s and those girls were raised by someone other than Oliver. I think they
were raised in the August or Gardiner area maybe by someone from the Smith family?
Oliver then remarried and moved to Bath, Maine where he was a teamster and worked for the
Central Maine Power Co. He had three children (two sons and a daughter) in the early
1900s by his second wife Louisa Mae Waldron, all born in Bath between 1900 and 1906.
