I am looking for David Carter b. Jan 1829 in TX moved to Sabine Parish, Many,
LA married Sarah unknown b.1835 in MS. They had six children in Many, LA (1)
Edward J. b. 1852, (2) Mary D. b. 1855, (3) Albert H. b. 1856, (4) William
David b. 1863, (5) Joseph b.1865 and (6) Sarah B.Neal b.1890. In 1891
William David Carter married Mary Luella Shue. William and Mary couldn't
have children and when they heard that the COOK family couldn't take care of
all their children they off in John Foster COOK b. Jul 1896. He was listed
on the 1900 Sabine Parish, Many, LA census with William Carter as a boarder.
Sometime before 1916 William moved to Henederson Co., Texas taking John
Foster Cook with him and in 1916 William and Mary adopted John. John Foster
(Cook) Carter was my husbands grandfather. He always wanted to find his
family but died before finding any. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Family beleives that John's mother's maiden name was BLACKBURN, BLACKWELL,
OR BACKMAN or some form with Black starting it. Thanks. Selida Carter
