Yes Anne, both hurricanes came right by us. We only had water coming in around our windows
that we had to keep wiping off the sills so it wouldn't get carpets wet but no real
damage. We live in a substantial building and only had a total of 3 palm trees to be
knocked over and other debris to pick up. We are right on Lake Monroe on the St Johns
River and it is supposed to flood shortly here.
More about the Carters later. I have information overload right now and need to sort out
what I do have and see what fits. My husband has a Carter-Williams connection too but
haven't found yet to which Williams.
Thanks for writing.
Martha Bell
I giggled when I saw that you noticed my email name. My husband gave that to me and I hope
it is so.

Hello, Martha,
We have"talked" before but I didn't know you were in FL. Were you or
neighbors in harm's way? I hope not.
My Carters may not have been in Cumberland Co but Ruth Carter Williams,
my great grandmother married to Shedrick Page Williams lived there after
marrying. I found through your or someone's help recently she was really
the daughter of John Carter, named Ruth Turner, and was from VA.
I do not have knowledge of whence in VA, the Turner's came or any
personal thing about them at this point but will pass on when obtained.
Thanking the "gentle genie,"
Anne Bruton Fitzpatrick
