Hi List,
I am new to researching the Carter line and desperately need some advice/help, I have a
solid brick wall in front of me. My search is for Richard Carter and family. All my info
comes from 2 census, the 1900 and 1910.
My Richard Carter was born May 1844 (per 1900 census) in North Carolina, his father from
Scotland his mother from Ireland (1900 and 1910 census agree)..In the 1900 He is living in
Summerville, Holmes County, Florida Listed as:
Carter, R ..........Head
Carter, Debora...Daug b. Nov 1881 in Kentucky
Carter, J B .......Son b. Sept 1883 in Kentucky
Carter, J A.......G-son b. (Un) 1887 in Florida
Carter, E M......G-Daug b. (Un) 1897 in Florida
In 1910, living in De Funiak Springs, Walton County, Fl
Carter, RIchard Head
Carter, Ester..G-daug..13 yrs old
Carter, Harley..G-son..9 yrs old
His Daug Debby is listed directly under Richard with her Husband Guy Wright and son
Richard 1 yr old, This is the line I am researching. There is an issue though, as family
says Debby is Harley's Mother and Guy is his father, yet he is living with his
grandfather and Guy and Debby were married either in 1922 or 1924 the best I can calculate
from the census. I am unable to locate Richard or Debby past the 1910 census or before the
1900, I have searched Ancestry backwards and forwards and feel completely stumped, I dont
know where or what else to search any suggestions or knowledge of this family line?
Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated.
