This Carter family has been my brick wall for over 20 years.
My great-grandmother was AMELIA BERTHA CARTER b. Jan. 28, 1872 in Coshocton County, OH.
She married SETH DAVID BUTLER, the son of DAVID CHRISTY BUTLER (first governor of the
state of NE) in Pawnee City, Pawnee County, NE on March 29, 1891.
AMELIA BERTHA was the daughter of JAMES W. CARTER and NANCY ADAMS (supposedly descendant
of President ADAMS but no proof). JAMES was born Oct. 6, 1850 in Coshocton County, OH.
NANCY was born Sept. 8, 1851 in Coshocton County, OH. Other children of JAMES and NANCY
were:
1. NANCY BLANCHE CARTER (AMELIA's twin who died in infancy)
2. MAUD CARTER b. Jan. 2, 1876
3. ROBERT JAMES CARTER b. Nov. 10, 1883
All of the above were born in Coshocton County, OH.
JAMES W. CARTER was the son of WILLIAM CARTER b. 1822 in VA and CHARLOTTE SMITH b. 1824
in OH. The siblings of JAMES W. CARTER were:
1. ELIZABETH CARTER b. 1845 in OH
2. SANFORD CARTER b. 1846 in OH
3. FRANCES CARTER b. 1848 in OH
If anyone has any connection to this family, please contact me.
