REGARDING JAMES CARTER. THIS IS MY JAMES' FAMILY. CAN ANYONE CONNECT?
My 3rd ggf, Cyrus Harrison Carter was born 1812 in Georgia; died Abt. 1880
in Texas. He married Martha Yates 13 April 1835 in Fayette County Georgia.
She was born 1815, and died 04 June 1905 in Texas. She was the daughter of
Eli & Katherine Yates.
The children of Cyrus and Martha Yates Carter were:
Eli Thomas b. 1838 in Alabama (Great-great-grandfather)
Matilada
Joseph
Mary
Rebecca
Martha
Cornelia (married John Thomas Morgan)
William
Cyrus & Martha lived in Georgia, Randolph County Alabama, Potomac County
Mississippi, and Choctaw Territory Oklahoma.
Their son, Eli Thomas Carter, my 2nd ggf, married Susan, maiden name
unknown.
Eli and Susan's son was JAMES BRUCE CARTER born 1858 in Arkansas. James was
two years old in the 1860 Sebastian County Arkansas census.
James' father, Eli, was still in Arkansas when the War Between The States
erupted, he enlisted in the 34th Arkansas Infantry in 1862.
Sometime after the war, Eli came to Texas and in 1867 signed the Loyalty
Oath to The United States in Travis County. Another researcher found the
oath documentation, made notes, but does not have a copy of the source
document.
Eli's son, James Bruce Carter married Julia Ann Boatright in Travis County
Texas in 1877. Julia is a descendant of Stephen Austin's Old Three Hundred,
her family being in the first fifteen families to colonize Texas. THIS
CARTER-BOATRIGHT LINE IS FAMOUS IN TEXAS HISTORY!
If you have any information, please contact me. I wish I had more
information to share but this is absolutely everything I know about my
Carter family prior to 1877

Hi Katherine,
I don't have a Bentley F Carter in our family.
Was Bentley Frederick the exact name listed on the children's birth
certificates. Bentley could have been his legal name and he went by another
name. This is crazy. I have looked for him every way I can think of.
I looked thru some old queries of yours to get further information on him.
Did his marriage license show his age when he married your grandmother;
where did you find his date of birth. Was he in his 50's or 60's when the
children were born?
Do you happen to know the first wife's name.

Any chance there's a Bentley Frederick Carter as a son or grandson of your
James Carter or of one of his brothers or nephews or cousins? I'm looking
for one born around 1870-ish somewhere in Georgia: my brick wall.
Thanks!
Katherine Kurtz-MacMillan,
grand-daughter of Bentley Frederick Carter of Georgia

I am sorry. Navarro county is in Texas. Some neighboring counties
are
Hill, Bosque, McLennan, Freestone, Limestone.
I'm searching for my 3rd grandfather, James Carter, born around 1819 in
GA.
He was last heard of living in 1850 Ouachita Parish Louisiana. His
children
were in Texas on the 1870 McLennan County census. But can't find out what
happened to him.
Thanks,
