Hi Richard,
What was the locality of the marriage records you
listed? Were they all from the same place? I'm
particularly interested in the following:
2. James Carter-Mary Essex, daughter of Joseph
Essex--December 27, 1820
Surety--Joseph Essex
8. Joseph Carter--Sarah Harp, daughter of Joseph
Harp--July 7, 1795
Surety--Joseph Harp
11. Nicholas Carter--Elainey Whitfield, both being
over the age of 21
years--April 12, 1809
Surety--Mathew Rhodes
12. Nicholas Carter(son of Nicholas Carter)--Rachel
Gardiner, daughter of
Samuel Gardiner--Feb 2, 1818
Surety-Samuel Gardiner
There was a Nicholas Carter who appears to have been
one of the first Carters who settled in Vermillion
County Indiana. He was in the 1830 census, listed as
being over age 45. My James Carter, who was born in
Kentucky, was also in Vermillion Co. IN in the 1830's.
James also had some kind of connection with a Joseph
Carter - maybe father or brother. I know who James'
wife was in the 1840's (Marguerite Reffett) but it's
always possible that she was not his 1st wife.
