I guess you were trying to help me with my Joseph Carter.I still can't
connect him to the Buckingham Carter's yet.He may not be related, but the Chastain
name for his daughter leads me to those Carter's.
Joseph's son was William Henry and William named one of his sons Herbert
BURTON Carter.The only place I have seen Burton is Kathy's recent post.Maybe
that's a clue.
I know I am related to Baily Carter through Nancy Stinnett. I don't know if
my Joseph is the same line.No one has him or his wife Belsora Elizabeth (Sarah)
Lavender in their files.
I rechecked the 1840 census and found a Joseph Carter in Rockbridge who is
the correct age, and so is his wife.He has three female children who also are
the right age but I only have him with two daughters at that time.Unless one
died. Usually, if you have someone from Amherst, sombody has heard of them.But
not on the Carter's the Lavender's or the Crawford's.I have the brick walls in
Amherst.
I want to thank everyone who has replied.It means a lot.
