Leland - I think we have corresponded before, because your Carter line
sounds very similar to my Carter line, but no connections that I can see.
Mc William Carter (went by Mack and/or M. William) was born abt. 1819 in
Kentucky. He had a sister named Susan (b. 1807, KY) and another sister
named Mary (b. 1805, VA/KY). The 1880 census states that Mc William's
parents were both born in Virginia; I have no other information on them. I
am looking for parents of Mc William.
1850 census in Monroe County, Arkansas - living with sister Susan and 3
slaves.
On 16 September 1855, Mc William Carter married Mary Jane Powell in Prarie
County, Arkansas. In 1860, a young boy named Allen M.C. Carter, b. 1849 KY,
was living with them - a relative, but parents unknown?
Land grants in 1857 & 1859.
The children of Mc William and Martha were:
Martha M.
Daniel T.
William Mack
Susan
Mary E.
Nancy L.
James Edward (my ggrandfather)
Eugenia
Francis C.
Mary J. died 06 February 1881 in AR; I have no death date or place for MW.
James E. married Ella Ezorah Johnson 27 August 1893 in Erath County, Texas.
Aunt Susan was living with them in 1900. James and Ella died in Wichita
County, TX (1942 and 1955, respectively).
Any information is welcome - I am willing to share what I have.
