Can someone please tell me about the above mentioned CARTER families of Henry
County, AL?
I am wondering if JAMES CARTER> or ISAAC CARTER> of Henry Co AL could
be the father of my ALLEN CARTER> b.1812; and HARDY H CARTER> b. 1826
(brothers). (census gives state of birth as SC, however, I have learned not
to trust
the census with regard to state of birth) , (brothers) of Coffee County,
AL., only a
few miles from the Henry Co line, which is where the History of Henry Co AL
indicates the CARTERs lived.
ALLEN CARTER was the postmaster at Dale Co, AL 1836. HARDY CARTER
would have been only ten years old at that time, so their father must have
been
around the area somewhere. HARDY CARTER does not show up on a census
until 1850, in the household of another family, age given as 24 in Coffee Co,
AL
(created from Dale Co 1841.
Any assistance with this group will be very much appreciated.
