BlankDear Carter Listers: My great Aunt Barbara Braswell Warren born,
before 1900, said we were related to Maybell, June Carter Cash's mother. I
saw June and Johnny Cash when they performed at our local fair a few years
ago and I purchased June's cookbook which gave sort of a history of her
family. As I recall, it said June's family was from VA.
My Harris Carter family is from Halifax County, NC, into Wilson County, TN,
about 1822, and my Braswell family is from Clinton and Allen Counties, KY,
so this may be just a story. Aunt Barb's mother (and my great
grandmother) was Jane Carter born in either Wilson County, TN, or Allen
County, KY. Her father was Benjamin H. Carter, whose father was Harris
Carter, born NC.
Now Maybell's maiden name would not be Carter, so there may be something to
what Aunt Barb said. Does anyone know Maybell Carter's maiden name?
