Does anyone in the Carter-L group out there have any information on my lost
Great Grandfather,ALLEN THOMAS CARTER, b 24 Sept 1820, near Carter's Ford,
Lodge, SC?
Around 1840 he married a "Miss CALDWELL" from the same area in SC. They had
two children. Both died, along with their mother, sometime before 1848.
After his young family died, Allen Thomas moved down to Tattnall County, GA
"to live with kin." There he met and married in 1848, Adeline CROSBY, b
1827. From there they migrated to FL where they homesteaded land in Lake
County, calling it Carter's Island. I descend from this marriage.
I recently took a research trip down into GA and SC in search of a family
for my ggrandfather. I would love to know who his parents were, or
anything about his first wife Miss. CALDWELL. There were many Carter
families still living there in Carter's Ford, but I could not find one to
which he belonged.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! E-mail me direct, or answer through
the Carter-L if you have a CARTER, CALDWELL connection or an Allen Thomas b
around 1820, SC in your database. Thanks, Karen
