I am requesting information about my Carter Line in Ohio/Illinois. Andrew M. Carter was
born in Ohio around 1827. On his death certificate, it stated that his father was Thomas
Carter who was born in Ireland. Andrew was married and had three daughters, Jennie
Rebecca Carter who married Francis M. Barlow and moved to Red Cloud NE; Nellie G. Carter
who married Abraham Lincoln Hews and together lived in Canton, Fulton County, Illinois;
and Mrs. James Kyle who lived in Eden, Peoria County, Illinois. Andrew got married a
second time, this time to Martha Ruark of Kentucky. During this marriage he had seven
children: Andrew J. Carter, who turned out to be the mayor of Aurora, Illinois; Fannie
Estella Carter, who married Robert H. Williams and lived in Canton, Illinois; Alexander
(Bertie) Carter who died at the age of 8 years old by drowning; William H. Carter, Frank
H. Carter who married Nina Palmer and lived in Canton and Pontiac, Illinois; James Thomas
