by Jennifer (Faith) Hejtmanek
Hi Mark,
I, too, have Carters in McLean Co, IL....I really, REALLY hope we can make a
connection here, because I've been trying to find info on this line for a
while.
Here is my Carter info:
Descendants of Joseph W. Carter
1 Joseph W. Carter b. 1814 married Rachel Walker March 23, 1848 in Hancock
Co, IL. Joseph d. 1862, Rachel d. Unknown
2 George Carter b. 1848 in Ohio? married Emma McCartney November 15, 1870
in Piatt Co, IL. George d. 1876 in Cisco, Piatt Co, IL, Emma d. Unknown
3 Claudius Carter b. April 6, 1875 in Cisco, Piatt Co, IL married Ruth
Easter March on August 12, 1897 in McLean Co, IL. Claudius d. Ocotber 11,
1925 in Normal, McLean Co, IL. Ruth d. January 17, 1950 in NOrmal, McLean
Co, IL
4 Helen Louise Carter b. October 29, 1899 in ARgenta, Macon Co, IL
married Harold Boughn Faith December 25, 1922 in Decatur, Macon Co, IL.
Helen is still living. Harold d. November 19, 1979 in Pompano Beach, Broward
Co, FL.
I have info that places Joseph Carter in Adams Co, Elm Creek Twp. He was
apparently a Methodist minister.
If you can connect here anywhere, please let me know!
