I have that Mary A. Thurston was born Aug 30, 1837 Decatur County, Indiana I
don't have her death date yet or William H. Carter birth and death date the
information I have says that he was b 1844 in Decatur County, Indiana m
August 27, 1865 Forest Hill, Decatur County, Indiana
Their son Arthur C. Carter b March 13, 1870 Decatur County, Indiana d May

Voiles b July 12, 1871 Bartholomew County, Indiana d December 18, 1907
Decatur County, Indiana b Westport Cemetery, Decatur County, Indiana d of
Jacob Michael Voiles and Missouri Frances Jordan
The marriage dates came off of the Indiana marriages,
Some of the other information came from decendants of Arthur and Clara.
I have been working on the Voiles family and all of these Thurston's, and
Carter are related to the Voiles family.
Benjamin Reece Voiles b December 1802 Cabarrus County, North Carolina d
June 12, 1854 Decatur County, Indiana was married twice, he married first
Polly Loyd b May 12, 1805 Kentucky d November 24, 1840 m October 31, 1822
Decatur County, Indiana
They had 10 children one of whom was Melissa Jane Voiles w m Ratcliffe
Evans their daughter Mary Jane Evans m William Thruston
after Orpha's death Benjamin married Orpha E. Michael b October 30, 1818
I think in Dearborn Co., IN. d Bef. April 07, 1863 (she died in April
sometime between the 1 and 7th of April) Decatur County, Indiana, Benjamin
and Orpha had 6 children
Their son Jacob Michael Voiles m Missouri Frances Jordon who are the parents
of Clara Iosophene Voiles w m Arthur C. Carter
Jacob's brother William Henry Voiles is my great great grandfather.
William Henry Voiles is also a son of Benjamin Reece Voiles and Orpha E.
Michael.
I am in touch with quite a few of Benjamin's decendants from both wives.
I also believe I have a picture of Arthur C. Carter and Clara.
