I need help sorting the following Carters that started from Va. and then went to Barren
Co, KY, and some went on to Texas. I want to be sure I have them lined up in the
correct families. (please maximize your window to see it correctly). There were too
many Henry Carters, and I know I have a couple of loose ends. I know Family 4 is
correct because that is my line (and there were alot more siblings but I did not list them
all to save space), but I believe they must connect to one or more of these other
families, but not sure how yet. One of the children of Family 1 died in the same
county as one of the children in my Family 4, and they were both in the same Confederate
Veterans Camp in Fannin Co, TX. And for them to both have lived in Barren Co, KY and
both descend from people named Henry Carter's from Virginia. Surely that is not just
coincidence. And, I am positive the Henry's of Virginia are not the same person
and/or same families because they are very different time periods. I am in hopes that
someone out there belongs to one of these groups and can verify the information.
Please help! Thanks, Kathy Wells.
