I looked through all my Carters (my mother's maiden name) and while my great
grandfather Miles Riley Carter was born in Posey County IN, I couldn't find any
of the names mentioned. I have several of my Jordans (paternal) that I've tried
to connect with in Owen Co. In, but have not had any success. I lived in Brown
Co. for 4 years caring for my sister until she passed in 2006 and while there I
drove over to Owen Co., and tried to find the old cemeteries - found the Jordan
church, old homestead, etc. but not the cemeteries. Since I returned home to
Washington state, I still do the searching, but it's not like being there! I
loved Brown Co. ..except for the tornadoes! Just sorry I couldn't do a
connection with these Carters!

Subject: [INOWEN] Carter Long Shot
Okay listmembers this is a long shot question but who knows, it might hit
something.
Does anyone have this person married into their family lineages.
Mary R. Carter b. March 3, 1855 in Harrison Township, Owen County, IN
She appears in the 1870 census of her mother's home, but she is no longer there
in the 1880 census so I feel that she must have married.
I feel that this marriage most likely occurred in the Owen-Morgan or Putnam
County areas, possibly even Monroe county.
I am confident that the R. stands for Rosa/Rose or Rosella.
She was dead by the 1900 census taking.
Her brother died in 1893 and is buried properly in Mannan Cemetery with a large
stone.
Their mother is buried under that same stone in 1920.
I have not found any obit or death record under Carter, so therefore the
assumption of marriage.
She was actually a twin sister of Eliza Jane (Carter) Truax Secrest.
However in Eliza's obituary she is only referenced that Eliza had a sister who
died a number of years ago (that obit was in 1925).
