Is anybody searching on Benjamin Carter, born 1780 in North Carolina? He was living with
his son, John Carter, born 1809, in Macon County, Tennessee. In 1850 Macon County,
Tennessee Census, this is the family who was here.

Then sometime before 1860, John Carter had moved the family to Saline County, Illinois for
them to be on 1860 Census Illinois. The father, Benjamin Carter, was not on there. So he
must have died before 1860. Any information you can shed on the family will be much
appreciated. Teresa
