I want to know : Who was the father of James Carter, b. 4/22/1815 in
NC.
What I know:
James Carter married Salina R. Dean April 27, 1836 in Hardeman County
TN. Green B. Carter witnessed the bond and marriage.
James and Salina Carter lived in Tippah County MS and had 6 children
1837-50,: William/1837, Robert/1841, Mary/1844, Sarah/1846, Amanda/1849
and Emily/1850.
James and Salina Carter moved to Travis County Texas between 1850-54 and
had 2 more children: John Bruce Carter/1854 and Miranda/1859.
James and Salina Carter were living in Webberville, Tx in 1860. James
was a wagoneer. We found them in Travis County Texas Census 1870, 1880.
James Carter died 7/15/1892 in Mcclennon, TX. His wife Salina, died
3/10/1903 in McClennon, TX.
Speculation: Was Green B. Carter Sr. b. 1798-1800 TN, the father of
James Carter ?
James & Salina Carters descendants number over 600. One descendant is
well known in Texas History and is associated with Stephen F. Austin.
We will be happy to share information.
