Robert, Pardon me for interrupting your discussion, but I noticed you last
name is JOHNSTON. Would you mind telling me who your Johnston ancestor is. I
descend from John JOHNSTON b. County Fermanagh, Ireland, d. June 17, 1786
Newberry, SC, m. abt 1737 to Mary DOUGAN d. 1783 Newberry, SC. Their son
Thomas JOHNSTON b. abt 1739 m. Mary COLLIER. Then John COLLIER, son of James
COLLIER b. 170304 County Donegel, Ireland, m. Susannah DOUGAN., m. Margaret
REGART. Their son Thomas COLLIER b. abt 1770 m. Mary JOHNSTON. This is the
last case of a Collier marrying a Johnston in our family. After this their
son Thomas J COLLIER b. April 10, 1814 m. Feb 15, 1835 Washington Co,TN Mary
BAILES?BAILS b. abt 1816.
The COLLIERS first settled in Paxton township, Lancaster,PA when James
first arrived in America, where his sons James & John fought in the
Revolution against the British. Then moved to NC where they fought along
with their cousins the Johnstons and Dougans. After the war they were being
harrassed by the Loyalists so moved to Virginia & from there some of the
family moved to Greene Co,TN. My G Grandfather Thomas D COLLIER, son of
Thomas J COLLIER & Mary BAILES was b. about 1847 Cleveland Co,TN. Do any of
these names or places sound familiar to you.

Dear Richard,
I'm behind on my Carter List e-mails and just noticed this one you sent
out regarding Charles W. Carter and Elizabeth Hooper of Franklin Co., GA
and Thomas Carter (RS)(1750-1810) buried in Franklin Co., GA. I am
related to all the Hoopers of Franklin County. They are all descendants
of Obediah Hooper, Sr. My line descends from his son Richard B. Hooper.
Unfortunately though, I can't find a Charles W. Carter who married into
this family, but I do have several Elizabeth Hoopers that I don't know
who they married as of yet.
I am also very interested in the Thomas Carter (1750-1810) you said is
buried near this family in Franklin Co. Where is he buried? Is this the
Thomas A. Carter of Elbert and Wilkes County, who married Lucy Farris
and was the s/o Benjamin Carter? I would love to know which cemetery and
if you have a picture of his grave. Could you share with me more
information about him and his burial. I've been looking all over the
place for him and his family. I descend from his daughter, Frances Scott
Carter who married Alexander F. Wimbish.
I look forward to hearing from you on this family.
Robert C. Johnston, Jr.

A Thomas Carter (RS)(1750-1810) is buried near this family in Franklin
County, GA. This may be the of lineage of Thomas Carter who was born in
England and came to Virginia about 1634 married to Elizabeth Moore. Any
help in establishing this lineage and information on these Carters will
be appreciated.
If I can help you on these Carters, just e-mail me.
