I have been seeing references to CARTERs in Missouri and am such a descendant. My GG
Grandfather was James CARTER, who was born on 28 June 1791 in VA, moved to OHIO, then to
INDIANA and finally arrived in MISSOURI ~1840/42. He was married to Sarah Jane MEYERS.
One of their daughters was Julina (my G Grandmother) who married Jonathan RUSK and one of
their daughters was Gennette (my grandmother) who married Elisha John SANDY. Am curious
if there's any connection to the "other" CARTERs in Missouri.

I have also been researching a Virginia to Missouri line including
Duncan S. Carter (1818-1881), Judith Ann Carter (1810-1861), John F.
Carter (1821 - ?) and Stewart/Stuart Carter (1823-1862). The Carter
brothers and sisters all were born in the Loudoun county, VA area and
moved to St. Louis in the 1840s and 1850s. Once in Missouri, several of
the family had ties to the riverboat industry. I believe their parents
may have been Charles Landon Beale Carter and Anne Stewart.
Is anyone researching this Carter line?
