Most of the Carter's I am researching left Geogia before 1850 and headed
to MS and LA. I do have some Carters that stayed but I have not researched
that line yet. I will keep that name in mind in case I come across it
later.

Hi, I continue to look (without success, thus far) for my Carter
grandfather, Bentley Frederick Carter, who is said to have been born in
Jesup, GA around 1870ish. (Any reference to Georgia Carters makes me perk
up my ears!) The 1930 census lists both his parents as having been born in
Georgia as well, but I haven't a clue as to their names. Nor have I found
any verification of his birth place or date. He is said to have had at
least one brother, and he married (for the second time) in 1919 my
grandmother, Alma Irene Mulligan, b. 1895 in Lenoir City, TN. Since you did
mention Georgia, I'm grasping at your straw, in hopes that the somewhat
unusual name of Bentley might ring a bell.

I'm researching the line of two brothers; William Taylor Carter
(b.
1805; d.1891) and John R. Carter b.1808;
d.1869) in Ashley Co., Arkansas. They came through Wilkes county,
Georgia in the early 1800's and both brothers married sisters in the
Fuqua family. Their father was John (Jack) A. Carter (b.1784; d. 1860)
and mother
I believe was Theodocia Dunaway. Jack Carter moved on to Texas
and then back to Mississippi where he died in 1860 in Pontotoc Co.
John (Jack) Carter's parents were Francis Scott Carter (b.1759?
Rockingham Va,; d. 1783 Baldwin, Ga) and Margaret Taylor (b. abt 1768
Rockingham, Va; d.?)
From
there back I am finding conflicting information on Francis Scott
Carter's parents. I found some information that indicates his father
could have been John Carter (b. 1737 Henrico, Va.) and married a
Rebecca Stuart in 1754, Brunswick Co,
Va.
Then I have some information that his father was a Robin Carter and had a
brother
William who married Elizabeth Grimes and another UNKNOWN brother who
possibly had a son James Carter.
But I do not have enough info to be positive on either of these findings.
Does anyone have any information on any of these individuals?
Thanks
John Carter
