Janet,
From the information you have here, I would say that your Carters and
Pratts probably connect to mine. But right now I cannot look much up
because my computer crashed and burned and I cannot get my GEDCOM back yet.
Thank goodness I had sent it to a friend or I would have to start from
scratch. I am using my Mom's computer for a few days to clear things up and
then I can use it a couple of times a week to keep up until I get mine
working. Slow process. But what I do have and this is off the top of my
head is this:
Nancy Carter is my 3-g-grandmother. She is from Greene County and married
Henry Pratt, aka John Henry Pratt, in Greene County. Her father was Jesse
Carter. Nancy was born about 1800 and in the mid 1830s moved to Missouri
and died in Washington County in Missouri. In 1852 she married my
3-g-grandfather, Absolom Blanton, aka Abraham Absolom Blanton. Absolom
Blanton's first wife was Cynthia Ann Pratt who is believed to be the sister
to Henry Pratt, Nancy's first husband. Cynthia and Absolom where also
married in Greene Co. I know that I have some on the Carters you mentioned
here and I will do a search to see if I can find the information on a floppy
where I saved all the emails and things that were important and/or in the
papers I have. If and when I find anything I will let you know.
Ann

Subject: [CARTER-L] Carter of Greene Co. Tennessee
I am looking Carters who lived in Greene Co. TN about 1830. There
was
only
on Carter in the Census in 1830. He was Thomas Carter, I can not read
the
Census or find out what happen to him 1840.
The reason why I am looking is my Caswell Carter married Barsheba
Linebaugh,
1838, Greene Co. TN. None of the Carter so far that where living in
Greene
County, Tennessee in 1840 seams to be his parents.
I was told this was his parents Benjamin Carter and Cassandra Allen
Carter
but all the Benjamin Carter at this time frame I found are not them.
There
are four Benjamin Carter here and are all related to John Carter Sr.
Caswell Carter had sister name Lydia who married Stephen Harmon in 1830.
Stephen parents were Moses Harmon and Hannah Pratt who married in Greene
Co.
TN in 1808. In the 1830 Census Moses Harmon is found in Jefferson
Co. TN
with the only Carter person named
"Ellis Carter. Now Ellis is son of Daniel Carter the son John Carter."
Caswell and Lydia had a brother name Martin who married Penina maiden name
unknown.
Martin and Lydia move to Carroll, Indiana by 1850.
Caswell Carter and Barsheba Linebaugh move to Platte Co. Mo with her
family
by 1850.
Barsheba Linebaugh family the Bowman and Linebaugh, some them move to
Indiana too, but in Fountain Co. IN by 1850 too.
The 1840 Census Greene Co. John Carter Sr family all the below but
Caswell,
Hugh (I think he is for name one son James Walling Carter. The
Walling
family and John Carter married.) and Jack all the rest is John Carter's
family. I was told John Carter had 12 children.
