Hello, I have recently joined this list and have been reading about the
Carters and trying to make a connection. I recieved the Death Cert. of my
GGrandmother, Olive (Ollie) S. Ethington-Mallory and it lists her father as
Scott S. Ethington of whom I have quite a bit of information. Her mothers
name is very hard to make out, it MAY be Carter. This is what I know:
Scott S. Ethington b. 1836 in Fountain, Indiana. Married about 1864 to
Elizabeth (?) born 1840 in Indiana. They had 5 children, none born in
Indiana. Scott S. Ethington fought in the 10th Indiana "Warren Guards" Co.
B. I have traced them from Indiana, through Illinois, Missouri and Kansas.
The last entry I have found for Scott Ethington is in Eskridge, Post #75
(GAR) Kansas c. 1909. I have so many names associated with Ethington that
maybe if I put some out, they will be recognized as also associated with
"Lizzie" as she is named in the 1870 Grand River Township, De Kalb County,
Mo. Census. In the same Census is one Henry Carpenter, age 19, living with
the family and is probably a cousin or nephew of Scott. Other surnames
associated with Ethington are as follows:
Sherrill, Etherington, Delaney, Linebarger, Osbourne, Beer, White,
Rudisil(b.c 1675 Cecil Co. Maryland).
and Mallory. Thank you for your time; I would love to share information,
Marie Cook
