My Kansas Carters- Sophia (possibly Saphronia)m.
Joseph Ross, Humbolt KS, 1908. Her father, Alpheus
Carter, d. Iola, KS, 1915. Her uncles, Anderson G.
Carter and Isadore Lincoln (Link) Carter died in
Fulton, Bourbon, Co. Found graves for Link and some of
his family at Zion Cemetery west of Fulton, but no
probate records for him in Bourbon Co Courthouse, Fort
Scott, KS.
Did find probate records for Anderson, but no graves.
Also looking for information on their father, (my G-G
Grandfather) Abraham Carter, who is listed several
places as having died in Fulton, but no probate record
or graves found yet.
Thanks
