He's probably from the Giles Carter line, Halifax, Virginia. About six
distinct Carter families came from Virginia.
In the late 1700's and early 1800's several of John Carter's sons migrated
to Tennessee. (John was Giles' third great grandson)
From there, at least two (James and Richard) moved to Alabama. James is my
3rd great grandfather.

Subject: [CARTER-L] Wiley Carter
Posting my brick wall again for those new or others
who may have been missed. I am researching ancestors
of my great great grandfather Wiley J Carter aka W J
Carter. He was born in Lincoln Co, TN in 1837 and died
in Marshall Co AL in 1910. I don't know his parents
names but they may have been born in North Caolina.
This is not the Wiley Carter who was president Jimmy
Carters great grandfather.
Please respond to the list or jimrcarter(a)yahoo.com if
you have information. Thank you.
Jim Carter.
