Who was the Betsy GOSS, who married John Carter in Owen Co In in 1870? John
was a prominent citizen of Morgan Twp.,Owen Co.,In, who was previously
married to Patsy SINGLETON and Mary Ann CLARK.
The above message caught my eye - I am researching the Routh / Faulkner
families that came from Owen Co. to Brown Co., Texas in the 1880's
James C. Carter, born in 1870 is a son of Elmira Routh and W. J. Carter.
Elmira is a sister to my grandmother, Mary Vilette Routh Faulkner. Also Mary
Ann Clark was the name of the second wife of David Faulkner that is my great
grandfather. Is it possible James C. Carter might be connected to John
Carter. Do you know the name of John's father and mother? Could this be the
same Mary Ann Clark that was the second wife of my great grandfather David
Faulkner? Just fishing. I have had no luck finding much information on
David Faulkner born in 1811 in Wythe Co., Va, but I know from an article
printed in the Owen Co. Journal in 1874 that he lived in and around Owen Co.,
In. before coming to Texas. His first wife is buried in the Morris Cemetery.
Her name was Celia Grizzle Folkner/Faulkenr, my great grandmother. Probably
just coincidences but would love to have any information available about John
Carter and Mary Ann Clark.
