I believe the Harrison Co. Ky Cartmells are those
from the John Sr. and John Jr. Cartmell from Augusta
County VA. Marcie.
They are mentioned in Chalkey's and also in
census records as John Sr. and John Jr. in Augusta Co.
Va. and Harrison Co. KY. see:

This server is hard to get on sometimes, so you may
have to try more than once.
Here is the will of John Sr. of Harrison Co. KY
I received from Paula Hampton dated Feb. 1808.
John Sr. had a son William, perhaps he is the father
of Edward W. In any case, I don't believe they came from
Frederick Co. VA. To many records show them all in Augusta/Botetourt
county.
Hope this helps Marcie,
