Dorothea,
I have not found any connections to this Henry or Benjamin. They are in a different
township I believe and a different Nicholson line. What we do have is a link to Charles
Carter. I also know there are 2 Charles Carters in the county at the same time. Just
like there are 2 or 3 Thomas Nicholson's. It usually comes down to findng that one
doucment to help tie folks to gether.
I am looking for files and not having much luck. But here is something that may spark a
clue to someone.
This will show the siblings of Martha. So this Charles Carter died sometime late 1839 or
early 1840.
