I am looking for information on my great grandfather James Carter. He
supposedly was born in GA. He married Mary Bishop (born Oct 18, 1864 in
GA). James Carter supposedly died about the time his last child was
born (1904). Their children were:
Josephine Carter born Jun 17, 1892; married David Staggs
Emma Carter born Nov 7, 1897 (?); married ____ Grubbs
Maude Carter born May 2, 1898; married Thomas Whitt
Mauldin Carter born May 2, 1898 (my grandfather)
Dorothy Carter born Aug 5, 1904; married Milus Herman Lister
I have extensive information on all the children except for Emma
Carter. They all moved to SC.
Mary Bishop Carter was listed on the 1900 US Census as head of the
household but also listed as married. She and her children were living
in Murphy, NC. I can't find James Carter.
After James Carter's supposed death around 1904, Mary married Harvey
Thomas in SC about 1908. They had at least four additional children:
Ellie M. Thomas b about Sep 1909
Ernest Thomas b 1911, d 1933
Minnie Thomas b about 1916, d about 1941
Mattie B. Thomas b about 1919
Mary died about 1923-1925.
I can not find much to link James Carter to Mary Bishop other than some
death certificates. Therefore, I do not know much beyond his name.
Thanks,
Paul Carter
