All of these marriages in early 1800's, in Perry County, and the People
all
lived in Spencer,Warrick,and Perry Counties. After Spencer was formed,
I believe they were all in Spencer.
Do you know if the above William Carter was the father of Delilia Ann
Carter (b. 11 Aug 1849 Perry Co., IN d. 21 Feb 1944 Warrick Co., IN) who
married on 24 Aug 1873 in Perry Co., IN to Marshall Quick (b. abt. 1851 d.
14 Jan 1916 Vanderburgh Co., IN)? William Carter is my wife's biological
ancestors. my wife was born Rebecca (Becky) Louise Meridith in 1949 and
was immediately placed for adoption and was adopted officially in 1951. In
1992, she was told of her biological parents and given the court documents
showing her birth parents as Robert H. Meredith and Lucinda A. Peach. Mary
Elizabeth Quick the dau. of Marshall & Delilia married Robert Houston
Meredith, Sr. - Becky's grandparents. We do not know anything about
William Carter other than he was listed as the father of Delilia Ann on her
death record in Boonville, IN.
Becky has met her brothers & sisters and unfortunately already attended the
funeral of one of her sisters. She has met several cousins and aunts &
uncles. Most in the family do not know much about their family and/or do
not seem to want to share much info. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. John G. West
