Hoping to find someone with a connection to Mathias/Matthew/Marshall CARTER
family liiving in Summers Co. WV 1880-1923, where he died in Humoco. He
married Margaret J. FOX in Ral. Co. WV in 1878. These are my grandparents,
and I've been stuck there for 15 years.
I need to locate him on the 1850-1860-1870 censuses. I've searched all the
surrounding county censuses for those years, never finding a
Matthew/Mathias/Matthew CARTER b. according to his death record in 1848,
according to some census records birth may be 1855.
He said in 1878 he was b. in Ral. Co. and he was 21 years of age, and was
living in Sum. Co. at that time.
There were hardly any CARTERS in Ral. Co. at the time he was suppose to
have been born and living there.
There is a William H. CARTER living in Sum. Co. that may be his brother.
He had a son Marshall.
Any help apprreciated.
