Hi,
I am looking for information about my ancestors including a Thomas Carter
who lived in Virginia, maybe Wythe County. He reportedly moved to Knox
County, TN around the 1790's. I understand he may have had been a Captain in
the Rev. War. He had a son Thomas Carter with possibly a middle name of
Ferguson who married Elenor Walker, a daughter of Buckner Walker. Bucker was
the son of Capt. George Walker. Capt. George Walker was born in Virginia
move to North Carolina then to Knox County, TN for a while. About 1800-1805
he moved to Bledsoe County, TN where he died in 1833.
Capt. Thomas Carter may have died in Knox County TN about 1820-1825. His son
Thomas F. Carter lived in the Loudon County, TN area. He may have died in
service during the Civil War or in KY after the war. His record of death is
unclear. He and his wife had a daughter named Mary Emeline Carter born Sept.
12, 1830 died July 29, 1895 was married to married Jessie Pickle in 1849 and
lived in East Roane County.
Any information about these people would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Leota Bennett
