Hi Lynn,
Sorry! I assume too much...
Samuel Carter appeared in Nelson county, KY about 1799ish (Land grant date)
... He died in 1810. I assume he was born about 1745. He came to KY from
NC but maybe VA or NJ before that?? (For instance, I find the names
Carter, Brown and Beckwith in Loudoun Co,, VA in late 1700s.. Beckwith
married into my Brown line.. Some think that Samuel's wife, Susannah was
Susannah Pipes but I have no evidence of that... But Pipes were in NJ, VA,
NC..)
Here are some notes in my file from Ty Goodart about Nancy and
Shadrick/Shadrach
1. Barnabas & Rebecca Carter had three children (Barnabas, Shardrick &
Elizabeth).
Shadrick (b. in Nelson Co., KY), who married in Edwards Co., IL, Nancy
Carter (b. abt 12-4-1824 in Hardin Co., KY) daughter of Joseph Carter &
Charity Huston Carter. It appears that Joseph was the son of Samuel &
Susannah Carter of Hardin Co., KY. Shadrick & Nancy had several daughters
all married, but their 3 sons made it to adulthood - *but none married and
1 or 2 were blind.*
2. I know Rebecca married Barnabas Carter (the Rev War Vet) in 1813 and
after Barnabas' death, in Nelson Co., KY, Rebecca went and lived with her
son Shadrick Carter in Edwards/Wabach Co., IL. Rebecca and Barnabas's had
three children -- Barnabas, Jr.(married 1st Elizabeth Byrd & 2nd Margaret
Amanda Vanvactor--both in Bullit Co., KY); *Shadrick ( married Nancy Jane
Carter - in Edwards Co., IL) *& Elizabeth (married Joseph or Joel, or Job
Bray - in Nelson Co., KY).
Rebecca Davis Carter's pension appl. (as Barnabas' widow) was also signed
by Shadrick Carter & Martin Davis -- both of Wabash Co., IL. Martin Davis
was the son of William Davis (b. abt 1800 in KY). Martin was married 1st
to Phebe Carter (sister of Nancy Jane Carter) and as such Martin Davis was
the brother-in-law of Shadrick Carter.
Nancy Jane & Phebe Carter were the daughters of Joseph Carter & Charity
Huston of Hardin Co., KY. [mkf - Joseph is a son of Samuel and Susannah
Carter]
Hope that helps!

Kathie,
What time period and what state are you referring to regarding
Samuel+Susanna and Nancy+Shadrack?
Knowing this would greatly help anyone who might have those names in
their records.

Subject: [CARTER] Carter blindness
Hello,
There might have been some discussion about this blindness trait on these
lists before. Today as I was looking through some notes on my Carters, it
appears that at least some of of MALE grandchildren of my Samuel and
Susannah Carter of Nelson/Hardin counties, might have had a genetic disease
that caused blindness.
If the only children who were affected were MALES, it might be an X-linked
characteristic - not showing up in women unless they had the gene on both
of their X chromosomes. Men only having one X Chromosome, if it had the
gene, then the gene would be expressed. Of course, it could also be a
recessive trait or a dominant trait - not sex linked.
So I am calling for anyone who knows any Carter in their lines that were
blind. Seems like some of the Shadrack, Meshack or Abindigo descendants
might fall into that category. Perhaps we can use this knowledge to see if
these families are related. It is also possible that these blind men did
not marry and their gene defects mostly died out.
If I am reading my notes correctly, my Samuel and Susannah had a son named
Joseph, who had a daughter Nancy, who had 1 or 2 sons who were blind (she
married a Shadrick Carter - not sure if he was related or not?). Also,
Samuel had a son Jacob who had a son, Allen, who was Idiotic - and who
knows what that was for sure - except he did not seem to be able to care
for himself. Similar gene defect? or just a Down's baby? Not sure we
will ever know in this life.
Anyway, just another thought in determining who is who in the Carter lines.
Kathie
