My ancestor was JAMES CARTER b.4-22-1815, possibly NC.
He is probably related to GREEN B. CARTER, a descendant of JESSE CARTER
who lived in Hardeman County, TN. Green B. Carter was the "co-signer"
on my James Carter's marriage bond (James married SALINA ROXANNA DEAN
4-27-1836, Hardeman County, TN). I am seeking further
clues/evidence/documentation of his relationship to Green B. Carter, and
am generally seeking information on the ancestry, parents and siblings
of my James Carter.
After his marriage, James appears on the following census records:
1840: Tippah County, MS
1850: Tippah County, MS
1860: Webberville, Travis County, TX (arrived abt. 1851)
1870: Waco, McLennan County, TX (arrived abt. 1868-1870)
1880: West of Crawford, McLennan County, TX
James died 7-15-1892 and is buried at Osage Cemetery, Coryell Co. TX.
Salina died 3-10-1903 and is buried with James.
The children of James Carter and wife Salina Roxanna Dean are:
WILLIAM LAFAYETTE b.1837 TN d.1906 McLennan Co., TX
ROBERT M. b.1841 MS d.1897??
MOLLIE CHARLESANN ELIZ. b.1844 MS d.1911 Coryell? Co. TX
SARAH ETTA "Etter" b.1847 MS d.1921 Tarrant Co. TX
EMILY? b.abt.1850 MS d.before 1860?
AMANDA ROXANNA b.1852 TX d.1917 Collin Co. TX
ANNA BELLE b.1854 TX d.1925 Van Zandt Co. TX
JAMES BUCHANAN "Buck" b.1856 TX d.1930 Wichita Falls, TX
MISSALINA "Missie" b.1859 TX d.1907 Tom Green? Co. TX
I have more information on their descendants.
Would love to hear from other descendants of James and Salina, and would
especially love to find more information on James' (and also Salina's)
ancestry, parents, siblings.
Thanks for any assistance.
