Hello Carter Researchers....I'm a little disappointed this evening having
just recieved my GGGrandmothers death certificate. I was hoping to
get the names of her parents but for father it only states CARTER and
mothers place was left blank. The informant was Elizabeth's son,
William S. ETHINGTON and so he probably wasn't close to his grand-
parents or he would have filled in that information. What I do have is
Elizabeth Jane CARTER was born in Fountain County, Indiana on
12-Aug-1838. According to a 1870 Census "Lizzie" states that her
father was born in Ohio and mother in Pennsylvania. So that would
put father Carter b. abt. 1818 in Ohio. Elizabeth was married first
to a James Johnson, he divorced her in Iroquois County, Illinois and
she married Scott S. ETHINGTON. Scott and Elizabeth are both
buried in Neodesha, Wilson County, Kansas.
Anyone with any suggestions or a CARTER family that Elizabeth Jane
may fit into?
Thanks, Marie LC
