I too am looking for a James Carter. I don't have any information on him
other than he was from England. I don't know if he came to America. I do
know that he had a son also named James Carter who was born July 20, 1812 in
Stockland, Devon England and died in Flint, Genesee County, Michigan. That
James Carter was my great-grandfather and I have all the information on that
family down through the next generations. My cousin, who started this
genealogy, went to England but found nothing. Too many James Carters.
In the 1830 census for Henrietta, New York, where we know James (Jr) lived
for a time, the Carter family is listed with 1 male and 1 female 40 thru 49,
1 male and 1 female 15 thru 19, and 1 female 5 thru 9. James (Sr) is head
of the family. (James [Jr] would have been 18 years old. Apparently, James
[Jr] had two sisters, one between 15 and 19 and one between five and nine
years old. There could have been older children who no longer lived at
home...perhaps your Tom, Yvonne, born in 1808.-----
Any leads, help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! mary

James, born c 1778 Melling, LAN married Jane ? surname
their son Thomas ch 1808, Melling
were there any other children?
Thomas married Deborah ? surname
theitr children
jane 1830 Wenington
John Davi(e)s 1834 Melling
mary Anne 1837
margaret 1840
Elizabeth 1842
mmy link is through John Davies CARTER who was my 3xgt grandfather.
I'm also trying to work out if there is a connection with a JACKSON family
of lancaster, as margaret is living with a Hannah JACKSON throughour every
census from 1861 to 1891. In 1851 she is with her grandmother 2 doors away
from
the rest of the family.
I'd love to hear from anyone who recognises these names
Regards yvonne
