Anyone know of parents & siblings of Elizabeth Carter, born about 1780,
married Edward Conner in 1797 in Anson County, NC? They had children:
Sampson, Ruth, Thomas, John, Edward, Elizabeth, Malinda, Lucinda, Ephraim,
William, James, and Eliza (perhaps the same person as Elizabeth).
Elizabeth Carter died about 1855 in Fayette County, IL.
Thanks,
Lois Laudie
Anyone have connections to CARTER names in Savannah, GA (Chatham County)?
Other surname connections to our CARTER lines are WELLS, MOBLEY, LIGHTSEY, TILLMAN, RUSHING, FARR, BURNSIDE, HANCOCK, DICKERSON, and WALLER.

We also joined Carter-cousins. Our family is Elijah, #45620 going back to Wm. Carter and Mary Goodloe.
I am still searching for the right Joseph - father of Elijah.
And I'm trying to find info on Landon N. Carter as possible father of Kemp Goodloe Carter, my gggrandfather. Landon N. was an officer in the U.S. Marines from 1824 to 1847. He died in Norfolk VA Sept 26, 1847. He came from Virginia Springs I think in Craig Co. VA.
Carter Herndon, my great 3x Grandfather, son of Elliott Herndon and Sarah "Sally: Carter, daughter of Charles Carter and unk, Son of James Carter, son of Captain Thomas Carter of Virginia

I also have my ancestor on the Carter DNA website
www.carter-cousins.org
But I'm beginning to believe he didn't have ANY relatives. Mine is # 14439.
He was born "in VA". He married 1818 in what is now Lewis Co, WV but was VA
at that time. Jane, his wife was a young widow who had first married in
Monongolia Co, VA. We can find no death records or tombstones. The only
thing we have to go by as to birth and death dates is what was written in
the long ago in a book, census records which do fit with these dates and
family lore. He is in the 1860 census of Jackson Co, WV living with a son
but Jane and an unmarried daughter are missing. Can't find them anywhere.
Sons were named Robert Marshall Carter, John H Carter and William L Carter,
in that order. Robert is my ancestor and we can't find records to pin-point
his birth. We can't even be sure we have them in the 1820 census because the
one ( and there are almost none, period) which seems to fit has two women in
Jane's age group and an older woman in the household and there are four
little girls which don't fit unless Robert may have been listed as a female
by mistake.
Only his mother lived in the area?; his family was passing through and he
fell in love and stayed?; or he went back?; he was born out of wedlock? he
had a brother, sister in the area? etc. etc.
Help,
Mary Carter Scott

this list: I finally found the father of my Ann Carter married Thomas
Hawkes in 1751. She is the daughter of John and Mary Palmer. In
Wellingboro I found him having several children baptized the same year and
a new marriage and other children.
The record says:
Mary was six years of age at Xmas last (in 1734 so 1733 minus 6 would be
1hat she was born in 1727
Richard son of John being 5 years of age Xmas last 1734
Ann dau of John being four years of age at Candelemas last 1734
John son of John being three years of age next midsummer 1734
Sarah Being one year old last lady day 1734
Elizabeth 13 days old 5 May 1734 ch 22 Apr 1734
Thomas Carter ch 6 Dec 1735 (new wife's name not mentioned) buried Dec 1735
Edward son of John bap 4 Dec 1736
1. I am looking for his wifes name and his 2nd wifes name.
I found John married to Jane Allen (ch 19 Sep 1694) in All Hallows
Wellingborough
Three children:
Hannah 24 Jun 1742 burial 5 Nove 1743/44
Joseph 20 Dec 1743 buried 22 Dec 1743
Joseph 10 Jul 1744
If anybody knows of this family, Please share.
Thank you for your time

This Robert Carter was the son of Richard Carter (abt 1712-1787) and Margaret Bruce (1727/27 - 1778). His wife was Elizabeth "Betty," and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have access to recent research as to Elizabeth's surname. There has been speculation that she may have been a Pinson.
Best,
Lowell

Given the increased activity on the Carter List, I am asking for any help
with research on either the ancestors or the descendants of brothers:
Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER (c. 1848 GA-1928 TX) and Jesse L. CARTER (c.1852
GA- ?). Their first known direct Carter ancestor was Kindred CARTER (c 1750
?- 1800 GA). Here is the little that I have on this Carter family:
I. Kindred CARTER married Ruth (--?--). He was born circa 1749/50. He
died c. 1800 in Columbia County, Georgia.
A. James CARTER was born circa 1773 North Carolina. He married Eleanor
"Ellen" DUCKWORTH before 1798, probably in Warren County, Georgia. Eleanor
"Ellen" was the daughter of Jeremiah DUCKWORTH and Christiana RAMSEY .
1. James D. CARTER married Mary E. HARRIS, daughter of Gray HARRIS and
Nancy FULLER, on 8 Jun 1847 Stewart County, Georgia. James D. died circa
1854 Talbot County, Georgia.
a) Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER married Malinda Francis HARRIS. He was born on
8 Apr 1848. He appeared on the census of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age
12, Household of Gray Harris). He appeared on the census of 1880 (Sabine
Co TX, Age 30). He died on 8 Jan 1928 Shelby County, Texas, at age 79. He
was buried Center Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas.
b) Jesse L. CARTER was born circa 1852 Georgia. He appeared on the census
of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 8, Household of Gray Harris). He
appeared on the census of 30 Jun 1870 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 17, Household of
Thomas & Julia Amanda Harris Ritch). He and Susan (--?--) appeared on the
census of 1880 (Same page in Census as Gray Harris, his grandfather, and
Emily Harris Blair Lunsford, his Aunt).
(1) Jim CARTER was born circa 1877. He appeared on the census of 1880 in
the household of Jesse L. CARTER and Susan (--?--).
(2) Clarence CARTER was born circa 1879. He appeared on the census of 1880
in the household of Jesse L. CARTER and Susan (--?--). (1880 Muscogee Co GA
Census, p. 612C.)

I forgot to mention, regarding the "speculated" connection of Nancy Carter
to William Kidd Carter that my cousin has presented, the fact that Nancy
Carter, daughter of William Kidd Carter, had a brother named: William J.
Carter, born ca: 1830 and that she also had another brother named: Jonathan
David (J.D.) Carter born: 1844. There is no sister, that I see, named S.L.
Carter.
Again, this is all fodder for consideration and is simply speculation.

Subject: [CARTER-L] My Carter brick wall..........( Long, VERY LONG)
OK, here we go: (Sorry for the LONG post -- I got carried away. )
My great grandfather was:
WILLIAM JASPER CARTER - my Grandfather and my Dad were estranged when my Dad
was 8 yrs old. Dad's Mom died at that time [ Marlowe Susie (Scott) Carter -
1907-1938, daughter of Walter Gray Scott 1884-1910 and Susie Virginia
(Wolverton) Scott, 1882-1961 ]. Dad's little brother had died just a few
years earlier, so when my Grandmother died, my grandfather dropped Dad off
with his maternal Grandmother Susie Virginia Scott, and was gone. Alas, I
never had much of a relationship with the scumb bucket and the few brief
encounters I did have with him, it was like talking to an empty barrel. I
asked several times about his father, but he never really answered any
questions direct. When asked where his father was buried, he took me to the
cemetery and waived his hand and said, "He's buried out yonder" pointing in
the direction of a clump of oak trees. He also told me he had no surviving
sibblings. (Now, off my rant and back on subject)
William Jasper Carter - from what I can find in census records, was born:
ca: March, 1867. I find record of him living with his mother:
Nancy (maiden name unknown) - born: ca March, 1842 in the 1870 Census of
Carroll Co., TN. According to the census, she was born in Tennessee.
Living in the same household with W.J. Carter and his mother, are his two
sibblings: Sarena L. Carter, born: ca October, 1862 and John Daniel Carter,
born: 1864 - died: ca 1942. -- There is no male head of household listed in
the census.
William Jasper Carter married: Clarrisa Jane Wood - born: 30 April 1868,
Caroll Co., TN - died: 17 June 1954, Humboldt, Gibson Co., TN - buried: Mt
Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn. - She was the daughter of: William
Henry Wood and Martha Green Davis.
William J. Carter married Clarrisa J. Wood - 02 December 1888, Carroll Co.
TN and were marreid by: W.P. Alexander, J.P.
I have located William J. & Clarrisa J. Carter, and family living in
Henderson Co., TN at the time of the 1900 census and then living in Madison
Co., TN at the time of the 1910 census.
According to my grandfather, his father moved the family to: Manila,
Mississippi Co., Arkansas sometime after 1910. He claimed his father died
in 1914 and was buried in the unmarked grave.
My grandfather: Eugene Carter - born: 11 March 1905, Claybrook, Madison Co.
TN - died: 16 July 1979, Mississippi Co., Arkansas and is buried: Manila
Cemetery, Mississippi Co., Arkansas. He was the youngest son of William J.
& Clarrisa J. Carter.
The children of William J. & Clarrisa J. Carter are:
1.) Stancel Lee Carter (known as Uncle Lee) born: 02 February 1893 - Tipton
TN -
died: 28 May 1958, Manila, Mississippi Co., Arkansas - buried: Manila
Cemetery - married: Nora Belle Hatfield
2.) Infant Carter - died young - information provided by a family member I
will relate to later in this report. Gender of this child is unknown to me,
but I know he/she was born after Uncle Lee.
3.) Hassie G. Carter - born: February, 1899, TN - died: Unknown - Hassie,
apparently became pregnant out of wedlock. She is reported to have had a
son, "Buddy" Carter. Hassie G. Carter moved to California and pulled a
disappearing act. She was not heard of again until shortly before my
grandfather died. She was to have come to visit from somewhere in
California, but she too apparently died before making the trip. She's, at
this point, an unknown from what I have. I do have a photo of her and he
son "Buddy", but that's it.
4.) Infant Carter - same descripton at in Child #2, however this one was
born after Hassie G. Carter.
5.) My grandfather, Eugene Carter
6.) Flossie Lorene Carter - born: 30 January 1906, Madison Co., Tn - died:
30 January 1998, Medina, Gibson Co., TN - buried: Mt Zion Cemetery, Medina,
Gibson Co, Tn - she was married to: Eddie Grover Pillow - born: 18 June 1899
Tennesee - died: 27 February 1967, Jackson, Madison Co., TN - buried: Mt
Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn
** This is the family member that was unknown to me!! My grandfather told
me no one survived him, my father was even unaware that his Aunt was still
living when I started this research. I found her, by accident, during my
research. I contacted her, but due to her age, she was not coherent on the
telephone. I had planned to visit her in Tennessee, but then she died
before I could visit.
I've had long talks with her daughter, who told me that her mother claimed
her father did not die in 1914, but rather that he had died in July, 1918.
It seems that the only thing my grandfather and Aunt Flossie could agree on
was that their father had died.
It was, however, in talking with the daughter of Flossie Lorene Carter that
I learned more about William Jasper Carter's sibblings.
Sarena L. Carter is reported to have married: George Alexander Wiles, born:
ca: March, 1858, Silver Creek, Marshall Co., TN - died: Sometime before 1920
- they are reported to have been married in Tennessee on 21 October 1884.
John Daniel Carter - born: 28 September 1864, Metropolis, Massac Co.,
Illinois - died: ca: 1942, Spring Creek, Madison Co., TN - buried: White
Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. -- John Daniel Carter married: James
Bernetta Holmes, born: 28 March 1868, Carroll Co., TN - died: 4 November
1929, Gibson Co., TN - buried: White Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. - I
have no idea who her parents were.
It was through talking with some of the decendants of J.D. Carter that I
learned a little more about the family. However, they also do not know who
the father of: S.L., J.D. & W.J. Carter is!
I have some information on the children of all the above referenced people,
but will not post that info here, as it might tend to confuse and make this
message even longer. If someone is interested, please write and I will post
that information.
Now, back to W.J. Carter:
One of the cousins I met, who is descended from J.D. Carter and has been
researching the family has speculated the following:
Nancy Carter is listed in the 1870 census of Carroll Co., TN - as indicated
above, there is no male head of household listed. I had/have speculated
that her husband, the father of the children, apparently must have died.
However, Joe, the cousin I spoke of, has speculated that Nancy Carter may
have been a single mother and that Nancy Carter, was in fact that: Nancy
Carter, born: ca 1842, daughter of William Kidd Carter and his wife
Elizabeth, listed on the 1850 Census of Dyer Co., TN.
Now me, I have a hard time jumping to that conclusion for several reasons.
Nancy" was a VERY COMMON name for girls in that time frame. While
researching my mother's family, WALLACE, I've found numerous "Nancy" Wallace
s, that were 1st cousins living at the same time, and in the same area as
the other Nancy Wallace's. To speculate that "Nancy" Carter, mother of S.L.
J.D. & W.L. Carter is the same Nancy Carter, daughter of William Kidd
Carter, it stretching it a tad bit. However, he could be right and I may
very well be wrong - I just need more information. However, it seems rather
hard for me to imagine, considering the religious & moral beliefs/practices
at that time, for a single woman to have 3 children, out of wedlock. She
would have been considered a Red Letter woman (good time girl) which would
have been a taboo, considering the time. There again, she may have married
a 1st Cousin named Carter. It's amazing how many 1st & 2nd Cousin marriages
you find back then, but the mind set was to keep the family money & lands
within the family. Also, a binding of the family was also used for mutual
defense in a wild & less civilized time.
Well, I've carried on for way too long! If someone can help break through
the mystery of who Nancy Carter, mother of S.L., J.D. & W.L. Carter is, then
you have my eternal gratitude! Who was she married to? Is she, in fact,
the daughter of William Kidd Carter and if so, was she married or not?
I appreciate any help. Also, it's nice to see the increased activity on
this list since my question of yesterday.

apparently became pregnant out of wedlock. She is reported to have had a
son, "Buddy" Carter. Hassie G. Carter moved to California and pulled a
disappearing act. She was not heard of again until shortly before my
grandfather died. She was to have come to visit from somewhere in
California, but she too apparently died before making the trip. She's, at
this point, an unknown from what I have. I do have a photo of her and he
son "Buddy", but that's it.
4.) Infant Carter - same descripton at in Child #2, however this one was
born after Hassie G. Carter.
5.) My grandfather, Eugene Carter
6.) Flossie Lorene Carter - born: 30 January 1906, Madison Co., Tn - died:
30 January 1998, Medina, Gibson Co., TN - buried: Mt Zion Cemetery, Medina,
Gibson Co, Tn - she was married to: Eddie Grover Pillow - born: 18 June 1899
Tennesee - died: 27 February 1967, Jackson, Madison Co., TN - buried: Mt
Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn
** This is the family member that was unknown to me!! My grandfather told
me no one survived him, my father was even unaware that his Aunt was still
living when I started this research. I found her, by accident, during my
research. I contacted her, but due to her age, she was not coherent on the
telephone. I had planned to visit her in Tennessee, but then she died
before I could visit.
I've had long talks with her daughter, who told me that her mother claimed
her father did not die in 1914, but rather that he had died in July, 1918.
It seems that the only thing my grandfather and Aunt Flossie could agree on
was that their father had died.
It was, however, in talking with the daughter of Flossie Lorene Carter that
I learned more about William Jasper Carter's sibblings.
Sarena L. Carter is reported to have married: George Alexander Wiles, born:
ca: March, 1858, Silver Creek, Marshall Co., TN - died: Sometime before 1920
- they are reported to have been married in Tennessee on 21 October 1884.
John Daniel Carter - born: 28 September 1864, Metropolis, Massac Co.,
Illinois - died: ca: 1942, Spring Creek, Madison Co., TN - buried: White
Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. -- John Daniel Carter married: James
Bernetta Holmes, born: 28 March 1868, Carroll Co., TN - died: 4 November
1929, Gibson Co., TN - buried: White Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. - I
have no idea who her parents were.
It was through talking with some of the decendants of J.D. Carter that I
learned a little more about the family. However, they also do not know who
the father of: S.L., J.D. & W.J. Carter is!
I have some information on the children of all the above referenced people,
but will not post that info here, as it might tend to confuse and make this
message even longer. If someone is interested, please write and I will post
that information.
Now, back to W.J. Carter:
One of the cousins I met, who is descended from J.D. Carter and has been
researching the family has speculated the following:
Nancy Carter is listed in the 1870 census of Carroll Co., TN - as indicated
above, there is no male head of household listed. I had/have speculated
that her husband, the father of the children, apparently must have died.
However, Joe, the cousin I spoke of, has speculated that Nancy Carter may
have been a single mother and that Nancy Carter, was in fact that: Nancy
Carter, born: ca 1842, daughter of William Kidd Carter and his wife
Elizabeth, listed on the 1850 Census of Dyer Co., TN.
Now me, I have a hard time jumping to that conclusion for several reasons.
Nancy" was a VERY COMMON name for girls in that time frame. While
researching my mother's family, WALLACE, I've found numerous "Nancy" Wallace
s, that were 1st cousins living at the same time, and in the same area as
the other Nancy Wallace's. To speculate that "Nancy" Carter, mother of S.L.
J.D. & W.L. Carter is the same Nancy Carter, daughter of William Kidd
Carter, it stretching it a tad bit. However, he could be right and I may
very well be wrong - I just need more information. However, it seems rather
hard for me to imagine, considering the religious & moral beliefs/practices
at that time, for a single woman to have 3 children, out of wedlock. She
would have been considered a Red Letter woman (good time girl) which would
have been a taboo, considering the time. There again, she may have married
a 1st Cousin named Carter. It's amazing how many 1st & 2nd Cousin marriages
you find back then, but the mind set was to keep the family money & lands
within the family. Also, a binding of the family was also used for mutual
defense in a wild & less civilized time.
Well, I've carried on for way too long! If someone can help break through
the mystery of who Nancy Carter, mother of S.L., J.D. & W.L. Carter is, then
you have my eternal gratitude! Who was she married to? Is she, in fact,
the daughter of William Kidd Carter and if so, was she married or not?
I appreciate any help. Also, it's nice to see the increased activity on
this list since my question of yesterday.

Thank you, Thank you!!
My James Carter lived in Eugene Twp. in Vermillion Co.
IN between 1830 and 1840. I've always wondered if he
was related to Nicholas. Now I know that he wasn't!
I'm also curious about a Solomon Carter who purchased
public land in Vermillion County in the 1830's. Have
you run across any information about him?
