Cousins,
If anyone has attempted to contact your humble Cousin and Listowner for
about the past 24 hours and hasn't heard a word...... Well........ I've
been out of business since early yesterday afternoon, until about 30
minutes ago! I've had hardward & software problems. I won't go into the
trouble, just let it be sufficient that what "Little Hair" I have left will
probably be pulled out shortly! For those NEW list subscribers, or Cousins
as I prefer to call you, I also apologize as I wasn't able to process your
SUBSCRIPTION requests until I got back on-line.
Right now, everything is being held together with bubble gum, baling wire
and prayer. The Tech's were out this morning scratching their heads and
nodding that there was a problem. I've been able to connect my laptop to
my ISP to run these lists, but hope that we will be back in business very
soon.
Thanks,
Chuck Carter

? having my David as a son along with Abraham, Daniel, John Jr., Jacob,
James, Daniel, and Ephraim.
Also, according to a Mrs. Edythe Whitley, Pvt. David Carter received land in
Tennessee for his service in the Rev. War. Can anyone help?

Hello,
I am looking for Carter's in Marion Co., AL.
I know my Great Grandmother is:
Emaline Carter b.6/1/1874 d.10/7/1952
I believe her parents were:
William Carter b.1850 MS d.9/16/1918
Sarah b.1850 MS d.8/30/1929
I believe William Carter's parents are:
Jesse Carter b.1820 NC d.1885
Ellen Harris NC
I don't have any "real" proof of these assumptions. If anyone else has
any information on these families and can confirm or deny my assumptions
please email me.
Thanks, Anita Sue

Does anyone know of a better book about the descendants of Robert "King"
Carter than the one put out by the Historical Christ Church? I think they did
a marvelous job but didn't list their documentation. As a result, when
checking some of the wills and deeds. Bible records, etc., that I have
collected, I found some errors, so I was told by a Carter descendant that
there is another book out there that is very well documented.
This is a message from a publisher that I received when I asked them:
"The genealogical winner of the 1996 Loudoun Historical Fair did
his project of the Carter family and it was on display at the Balch for
awhile. His name was Jason something."
Does anyone know who this Jason is and how to reach him, or how to obtain a
copy of his works?/
Thanks in advance,

A Sept. 8 message from Diana & Gary Smith provided lot's of information on
the descendents of Rev. Thomas Carter (b 1608). I suspect my wife's Carter
family connection also goes back to Rev. Thomas Carter (or, based on bits and
pieces of family history, at least to another minister with this surname that
came to MA in the 1630s); but, at the moment, the only Carter names I have to
work with are:
Mary Carter - (b ? d <1900), daughter of
Beta Carter - (b ? d ?) son of
Silas Johnson Carter -
Mary died in Meriden CT and it's likely the rest of these Carter's lived in
the central part of CT.
Any suggestions on further sources of information on Rev. Carter and his
descendentsd will be appreciated.

Cousins,
JUNO is back on-line with us. For those who are JUNO customers and are now
receiving this message and might not know what's going on. JUNO started
having some very serious problems yesterday afternoon. Forcing Karen
Isaacson to "pull" all the JUNO addresses from the system to keep it from
crashing. JUNO customers might consider calling your Customer Service Dept
and see what the problem might be and if JUNO is working to correct the
problem.

Following you will find a message the Listowners received from Karen
Isaacson at RootsWeb. It appears that JUNO is having some "very" SERIOUS
problems !!!!!!!! Karen had to pull ALL Juno subscribers off the mail lists.
If you know of someone who is a JUNO user and subscriber, please let them

Hi,
I a new member. I'm descended from John Carter who was born ca. 1791 in
New Jersey, married Mary Hoffman (b. Sept 4, 1793, N.J) February 15, 1812 &
died April 23, 1863. Unfortunately that is all I know about John Carter I
would appreciate any information regarding his parents etc.
Thanks,
John E. Logue
I am searching for information on any HUGH CARTERS that might be descendants
of JAMES CARTER born 25 Dec 1684 in Lancaster Co., VA the son of Thomas and
Katherine (Dale) Carter. He married as his second wife, MARY BRENT, 12 Aug
1724, in Lancaster Co., VA and they soon thereafter settled in Stafford Co.,
VA. Mary Brent is said to be the daughter of Hugh Brent.
I know that that James and Mary Carter had a son named HUGH CARTER b. 1740.
However, their son, John Carter b. 1754 had a grandchild named HUGH CARTER
by their son John Carter Jr.
I am looking for a the HUGH CARTER that married Sarah ROSS in Loudoun Co, VA
on Mar 9, 1788 or Mar 9, 1789 in Greene County, TN (their marriage is listed
in the records in both places.)
Pam Gregory
I am looking for fellow researchers of Henry b.1761 in Albemarle Co, m.

Would like to exchange information.

SUGGESTED GUIDELINES to HELP GET ANSWERS
by Tim Carter
If I am going to be a writer and try to get your attention so that you will
help me, I must be courteous to you; I must be thoughtful enough to present
materials in such a manner as to get and keep your attention; I must write
my material in a way that makes it fast, easy, and pleasant
to read. With these thoughts in mind, consider that the following are NOT
RULES, but they are SUGGESTED GUIDELINES for use by genealogy researchers.
Also, if you are a member/user on a list which has an owner or moderator
who specifies how to post to that particular list, please, try to post to
that list in accordance with his/her instructions.
1) What are you talking about? What is your Subject?
2) Are you shouting at the reader?
3-7) Typing names so they are easy to read.
8) Where and How to Reply.
9-10) Flaming.
11) Are you less considerate and more disrespectful
than the flamer? than the sympathizers?
12) You want to reply, but, Are You Ready?
1) Do you really want me to read your message? Many users of the lists
use the subject line to speed up their search. Messages with blank subject
lines are deleted in bulk before any reading is attempted. Both the sender
and the receiver have "lost" when a connection they have for each other is
not made because of a subject omitted.
2) Generally, type everything in lower case (small) letters. Typing
everything in ALL CAPS is considered SHOUTING AT THE READER.
3) ALWAYS type SURNAMES in upper case (CAPITAL) letters.
4) When listing SURNAMES only, enter a comma and two spaces between the
names. This makes for faster, easier reading:
CARTER, DELOACH, KIRBY, LEE, PEDRON (PLEASE, do not space between
letters of the name, and do not use special characters within a name)
5) DO NOT use the asterisk * or the slash / as a separator of SURNAMES.
Use this same rule for applying other special characters in your writings.
This is hard on the eyes, and some of us won't read it. Therefore, you and
I might miss a perfect opportunity to find a connection to one of the names
we are both researching.
6) Generally, type names as follows:
SURNAME, First Second Third "Nickname" Title (Although it won't always work
out this way, try to make it a standard way of writing names.) Example:
CARTER, Elisha Joseph Goodwin "Joe" Rev
7) When listing SURNAMES with locations, try to make the listings as
columns if possible. At least enter some spaces to make for easier, faster
reading:
CARTER > NC, SC, MS, AR LEE > NC, SC, TN, AR
JONES > FL, AL, TN, GA OWENS > NC, GA, LA
KIRBY > AR WOOD > TN,AR
Realize that the progression of states is not meant to be alphabetical, but
represents the general movement (or migration) of the family or individual
being researched, and are the locations being searched.
8) When you reply (respond) to a message received on a list, PLEASE, be
aware of where your reply is going "before you send it.". Some of the
lists are set up so the REPLY automatically returns your message to the
list. Other lists automatically return your replies to the originator of the
message. AGAIN, PLEASE double check the return address where you are
sending the answer to that post. A BIG THANK YOU for your help on this.
9) Please, do not flame someone (put them down rather rudely) for something
they have done. The individual may be new and did not realize what was
correct and proper. Or, an individual can be in a hurry and just do things
wrong. (Personally, I do not wish to reduce <degrade> myself to
the low level of flaming someone. I have been flamed and know how bad it
made me feel, even though I had not intended to hurt or upset anyone.)
Consider that in most instances the act is not on purpose, but accidental.
If you must reply, be courteous, polite, and positive and send
them a private note.
10) Above all, DO NOT flame someone publicly on one of the lists. It is
bad manners on the part of the person doing the flaming, and shows
disrespect toward all other members of the list. (They do not want to hear
the flamer's whining about what someone has supposedly done to the flamer
or to them. That is why there are always so many rude, ill-natured replies
afterwards.)
11) Do you reply to the flamer, and send it to the list? Then, you have
been more disrespectful to fellow list members than was the flamer. You
have become a part of the continuing nuisance to the list. Does someone
have a loss, and accidentally post it to the list? Are you one of the
sympathizers that also post your condolences to the list? You have become
a part of the continuing nuisance to the list. Are you one of those that
posts to the list in anger or dismay, trying to get the sympathizers to
stop posting? You have added fuel to the fire - you helped increase the
problem. Please stop and think before posting ANY OFF SUBJECT REPLY to a
list.
12) Do you really want to flame someone? Go look in the mirror. That
person you are looking at knows exactly how you feel and what you are
thinking. Therefore, that person knows exactly how to take what you are
saying. Furthermore, if that person in the mirror smiles at you, you are
going to have to smile back. And, if you smile at the person in the mirror
and that person in the mirror does not smile back at you, you are not ready
to write to anyone yet.
Now, let's work together and find some genealogy answers.
Thank you.

%%%%%%%% WELCOME %%%%%%%%
WELCOME to the CARTER Family Discussion List. This is a discussion area
for anyone who has an interest in Genealogy or History related to the
CARTER Family, including CARTIER, MC CARTER, or any other related spelling.
My name is Charles E. ("Chuck") Carter, and I'm the owner of this list.
I'm responsible for keeping it running as smoothly as possible and setting
some rules and guidelines.
%%%%%%%% GENERAL %%%%%%%%
* Please keep this message. I recommend that you keep a copy on file in
your computer as well as a printed paper copy that you can easily find.
* You may see some new terms and prases here along with exacting
instructions about sending commands, etc. You will get used to it soon
enough - don't let it bother you. In order to make things work well, you
must follow the instructions - to the letter. If you leave something out
of a command or put something extra in, it won't work. This is because of
the way computer programs work.
* Remember these addresses:
* If you need help, contact ME. My address is:
cetracer(a)interserv.com
* To post a message to this list, i.e. Genealogical data, queries, etc
(stuff you want other members to read) send it to:
CARTER-L(a)rootsweb.com
* To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to:
CARTER-L-request(a)rootsweb.com ( for the MAIL mode )
or
CARTER-D-request(a)rootsweb.com ( for DIGEST mode )
%%%%%%%% RULES %%%%%%%%
* This list is for the discussion of Genealogy and History, primarily
regarding CARTER and related families. Discussion of migration patterns,
immigration, healdry, historical sketches, CARTER settlements, census
data, wills, family Bibles, vital records, web sites, etc., as relates to
the CARTER family is encouraged as well as discussion ofcollateral
families. Public announcements of information of interest to Genealogists
in general, thought it may not be CARTER specific is permitted, but please
use discretion.
* Do not post virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political
announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, etc. For
information on virus hoaxes and urban legends, see:
http://www.kumite.com/myths/ among others.
* Please do not send attachments (messages with files appended) to the
list. If you have a file you would like to share with members, announce
what you have to offer, then send the file only to those who request it,
via private email. There are many CARTER branches, and not everyone will
want the data on your file.
* No rude comments or flaiming in this list! No discussion of flaming in
the list. For definitions of flaming and related information, see:
http://www.man.ac.uk/~zisiira/Netiquette/flame.html
and
http://www.pass.wayne.edu/~twk/flaming.html
* Do not impose any other rules or conditions, expressed or implied
elsewhere, upon this list. Rules for other forums may not necessarily
apply here. Do not try to regulate this list. If you do not like the way
someone formats their queries or responses, or the content of their subject
titles, take it up with the listowner (ME), NOT in the list. The list is
for Genealogy and History.
%%%%%%%% GUIDLINES %%%%%%%%
* Small gedcom files are discouraged but not banned from the list (send in
a message, NOT as a file attachment) as long as the resulting message is no
larger than 61,440 bytes maximum.
* Try to keep quoting to a minimum. "Quoting" is repeating text of the
message you are replying to. Some quoting is necessary to remind other
readers what the thread is about, but do try to use good judgement.
Quoting the previous writer's signature block or surname list is totally
unnecessary.
* Surname lists are okay, but please try to limit them to say, half a dozen
names. Any more than that and many people just won't read them. Try
keeping several small lists and rotate them with each succeeding message.
%%%%%%%% SUBSCRIPTIONS %%%%%%%%
* Subscription commands to to:
CARTER-L-request(a)rootsweb.com - or - CARTER-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
I repeat, to subscribe or to unsubscribe send an email to:
CARTER-L-request(a)rootsweb.com - or - CARTER-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
and put
subscribe (and nothing else)
or
unsubscribe (and nothing else)
in the body of the message.
Please remember, commands go to:
CARTER-L-request(a)rootsweb.com - or - CARTER-D-request(a)rootsweb.com
and not to the list! You can use CAPS or lowercase, it doesn't matter.
%%%%%%%% POSTING MESSAGES %%%%%%%%
* To post a message (query, reply or other WALLACE data) to the list, send
it to:
CARTER-L(a)rootsweb.com
It also helps to remember to put something in the "subject line".
%%%%%%%% TIPS %%%%%%%%
* Accuracy is important and sources are vital. Ancestor lists are
worthless if the information is wrong.
* All information need not be accompanied by source citations, but I do
recommend strongly that posts either include sources or a note stating that
they are available on request.
* If information is speculation, then label it as such until it is proven
or commonly accepted as fact.
* When posting your query, try to give as much informaiton as you know,
i.e. dates and places of all vital events, if known, along with enough
other readers can positively identify if they are researching the same
family. "Anyone out there researching CARTER's?" just doesn't cut it!
* When replying to the list (this can also apply to "private" replies), try
to quote some portions of the previous message so that othe readers are
reminded what the "thread" is about. Make it clear what is quoted
material and what you are adding. Most mail readers take care of this for
you be inserting greater-than signs ">" at the beginning of each quoted
line or possibly double brackets "<<" before and ">>" after the quoted
piece. Use standard Windows procedures to "cut" unnecessary material.
* Post your query frequently, perhaps once a month, if you have not yet
found your ancestor. New people are joining the list all the time and they
may have the information you need.
* Please send CARTER replies to the list, not just to the original poster.
Other members may benefit from the data you provide.

Looking for any information on the Carter family from Owen Co., Morgan
Co., Putnam Co., and Monroe Co., all in Indiana. I have my Carter
information on my web page: http://www.iupui.edu/~dvoils. We had our
first Carter family reunion in over 5 years on July 27, 1997 in
Martinsville, Morgan County, Indiana. Temperature was close to 100
degrees and we had over 116 Carter cousins in attendance. They were all
from one line of the Carter family though. Trying to find cousins from
the other branches of the family. Also, we know that John Carter was
born in Kentucky. He had a brother Jobe Carter, and his father was also
named John Carter. Elder John Carter was said to have been born in NC
<?>. I have tried a broad search of Kentucky, but to no avail. Does
anyone have any clues on what I should do? I surf the internet alot--is
there someplace I'm not looking? Thanks alot, sorry I got a little long
winded. Good luck in your searching....
