Green B????? Cater, Does any one know what the B. name is and Birth
date
and Death date?
William Proffitt Carter, there was a Greenberry Carter back in my line.
Am no expert, but here are some things:
Green Berry Carter b.abt.1798-1800 NC; don't know when he died. Was in
Hardeman Co. TN 1830, married Nancy Ann Crews there in 1839. Went to Tippah
Co. MS and was on the 1840 and 50 census there. Then I think he went to
Tishomingo Co. MS. It is said he had a son Greenberry Jr. (born 1830s?) who
married Elizabeth Jane Murley.
Hardeman Co. TN courthouse document in 1853 names "Green D. Carter" and
"W.E.D. Carter" as having been minors in the late 1840s and heirs of Jesse
Carter. The document also names several more heirs of Jesse which I named
in my other post. Other similar documents name Green B., but not Green D.,
as Jesse's heir but not as a minor. Some of Jesse's heirs had moved to
Mississippi.
Dec. 1843, Tippah Co. MS , there is Land Patent No. 14982 to Green Dewitt
Carter and William Elihu Douglas Carter. But this can't be the same ones
who were minors named above, because this document precedes that one! Maybe
the document in Hardeman County contains an error? Because another document
in the same matter in 1848 has Green B. Carter (heir of Jesse) married to
his own sister Syrena!
1850 Tippah Co. MS, deed to Green B. Carter from William E.D. Carter and
Green Dewit Carter which appears to be the same land as in above Patent No.
14982 above, or part of it.
1855, Tippah Co. MS: "G.B. Carter and wife Nancy Ann, Green Carter Jr. and
wife Eliza Jane, and Douglas Carter and his wife Nancy Ann" together sold
land to Wm. C. Castleberry.
So, I am confused about Greenberry Carter Jr., Green DeWitt Carter and
William E.D. Carter in that: (1) Don't know if Green B. Jr. = Green DeWitt
or are separate individuals; (2) Green DeWitt and Wm.E.D. are minors in one
context but not in another earlier context earlier?
Answers sought.
Thanks,
S. M. Hitt
