Searching for information about the CARTER families mentioned in the following excerpt:
Logan Esarey, in his book History of Warrick, Spencer and Perry Counties, IN (Chicago:
Goodspeed Bros & Co, 1885), writes on page 251, "Peggy [Meeks], the other,
married Thomas Carter, brother of Joseph and Barney Carter, both of whom yet live in Luce
Township [IN]." On page 265, he refers to "Jo. Carter, yet living at the
advanced age of seventy-seven years ...", which would place him being born as late as
1808. He also refers on this same page to Barney Carter, Sr, and William Carter as early
settlers, although there is no clarification as to whether they are brothers, father/son
or what. On page 428, he lists William Carter and wife among the members of the Baker�s
Creek Regular Baptist Church. (Just across the county line in Spencer County, IN)
