Included in this discussion is the question about James Carter or John Carter
relation to Synthia Carter.
John Carter (of Greene Co TN Carters) b.1732 d.1811 in Greene Co., TN is the
father of James Carter b. Jan 1 1768 d. Mar 1 1849 in Fannin Co. TX.
In Sylvia Layton Brooks book titled "Abraham Carter of Greene County
Tennessee His Kith and Kin and the Collateral Line of the Author" wrote the
following:
******************************************************************************
****
James Carter, son of John Carter and brother to Abraham, was born Jan 1 1768,
mostly likely in VA: died Mar 1 1849 at Bonham in Fannin County, TX, and is
buried in the Russell Cemetery on the family farm.
James Carter married Phoebe Bullard May 2 1791, Greene County, TN. Children
mentioned in his Will were: Minatree, Rebecca wife of James Whitson, Synthia
wife of Frances Shoemake, Eleanor wife of John Barron, Anna wife of Henry Murry,
Elizabeth wife of Montgomery Robertson and Sophia wife of Robert Paisley.

To date Sophia is the only daughter that I can place in Bonham, Fannin Co. I
have visited James grave site in Bonham. Sophia and Robert's portrait hang
in the museum in Bonham, TX
I have no records in my branch of a Jesse or Green B Carter. I do believe
that John Carter b. 1732 had other close relatives that traveled to the area
with him. Some of the names could be, Caleb, Joseph, Levy, as these names are
found in military records and land records along with John Carter.
I hope I have not muddled the water but wanted to get this in. If I can help
or answer questions. Please contact me.
