I am seeking info on Josephus W. Carter. I hope by obtaining info on Josephus it will
lead me to my great-grandfather's family.
Josephus was born abt. 1822 AL. He married Frances E. Ross 1 Nov 1849 Tallapoosa Co., AL.
I have found him on the 1870 and 1880 Tallapoosa Co., AL Census. On the 1880 census my
great-great-grandmother, Francis M. Unknown Mitchell aged 38 born GA and three children:
James W. Mitchell aged 16 born GA; Frances L. Mitchell aged 12 born GA and Eutarcus
Mitchell aged 6 born GA were living with Josephus. Frances M. Unknown Mitchell was a
widow. I'm trying to find if there is a connection between Josephus and Frances. I
believe that Frances was a Carter
Last night while searching through the Georgia Marriages on ancestry I found a Frances M.
Carter that married Francis M. Mitchell 10 Apr 1861 in Dooly Co., GA.. I believe this is
the Frances M. Mitchell that was living with Josephus W. Carter. I have not been able to
find Francis M. Mitchell with a wife named Frances M. Mitchell on the 1870 census. My
great-grandfather, Eutarcus was born in 1875 in GA, possibly Dooly Co.
Does anyone know anything about this Carter or Mitchell family? I welcome any help,
suggestions or info on this elusive family.
Thanks,
