Here is a some analysis of JJ Carter's connections:
J. J. Carter born VA ca 1808, md Juliet Luckett, b ca 1818, KY. They
Settled in Cass County ca 1850, and are found in Kansas City, MO in 1880
Census.
His sons included: Richard b ca 1855/8, Joseph H. b ca 1841, James William,
b ca 1851/5. In 1880 Census, Joseph H in my family has disappeared and there
is a grandchild Joseph H. 8 yo living with JJ and Juliet.
Joseph Henry Carter, the Tax Assessor of Cass Co, is much older than my
Joseph. There is A Dr. Joseph H. Carter, B TN ca 1822, in Cass Co.,but I do
not know if this is the same person as the Tax assessor. The question is,
when was the Tax assessor born?
If Joseph H Carter, Tax assessor, is Uncle of William L., Elizabeth Anne,
Charles L, and James Carter, children of Wm md Ruth McFarland, that makes
him brother of WM.Your William b ca 1805 VA, md Ruth McFarland would be the
same generation as my JJ b ca 1808.
If we can connect William Sr, Joseph H the Tax assessor, and JJ in VA we may
figure this family out.
I am posting this to several forums in hopes someone can contribute to this
mystery.
