I am searching for anyone researching the Carter Family that resided in Wilkinson Co., GA. My main focus is a William and Esther Carter with children: Martha (1838) (married Thomas Etheridge), Nancy(1831), Sinia(1835), Andrew(1842) (married Nancy Holder), and William (1845) (married Sara Anderson). I descend from Andrew and Nancy Holder Carter. I have some information that I can share, but is sparse to say the least. Anyone with information on this Carter family, please contact me. Thank you.

Sorry folks, let's try this again.

I have the following information on Ruth Carter: b. 14 Oct. 1791 in MD or DE m. 15 April 1810 to David Gaff in PA d. 2 March 1872 in Mt. Eaton, OH I have hit a brick wall in trying to find her parents. If anyone has information on them I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank You Susan Mahoney [email protected]

Needing, very badly, an obit, or other record showing the death of Matilda Ann Carter, born 11-27-1831, Ky., died 1-27-1843, Owen Co In. She was daughter of John CARTER Jr., wife Eliza NUTTERFEE. Probably would be in Cloverdale, Spencer, or Greencastle papers, if they were printing at that time. Lived north of Quincy. Thanks very much.

Good Morning, Found a letter from my Grandmother to my cousin Carley in which she tells Grandfather's story. She says he said the first orphanage was on Long Island, NY What was on Long Island in abt. 1867 would be interesting. Thanks for everyone's suggestions. June

Good Luck at your reunion. I believe I've emailed before and didn't find a connection with the Carters or the Boltons. Is there a website I can look at your information.

A long time ago before any one ever heard of an Orphan Train i was searching. A lady answered my query in the "Genealogical Helper" and told me where they came from and where they went. So found where the boys came from. In about 1871 my G. Grandfather owned a business in New York City. Mother said it had to do with food. And one day two men were fighting outside of the store but near the plate glass window. So Grandfather went out to get them to break it up or move on out from the window. In the process he was stabbed. My G. Uncle remembers they brought him though to the back of the store. They probably lived at the store, in back or upstairs, as many did. He died and their mother was a step-mother and could not take care of the six children. She put the four smallest in the orphanage. Two boys and two girls, G.Uncle George vowed he would stay with Grandfather no matter what. The first orphanage was very good to them but soon they were transferred to 'The Children's Aid Society". They do have a record of the boy's names and approximate birth dates. They have no record of the girls. And i can not find the first orphanage. The boys were taken on the train to Hancock Co, Illinois. Of course like they did, at each station they were put on the platform for anyone to take a child if they wanted. They wanted children for help and many were treated as slaves. My Grandfather's name was Fred Carter b. abt. 1867 My Gr. Uncle was George Carter b. abt. 1865 This is what i know from Mother through Uncle George, and the family traits. There were six children 2 older boys , 2 girls and the two younger ones. One of the older boys was a hunch-back. I believe Grandfather was born in America and the mother died in child birth. (abt.1867) Probably the remainder were born in Ireland. (George knew they were Irish) I know had there been anyone else in the family in America they would not have been put in an orphanage. Both children were musical and Grandfather could repair the smallest watch or the largest piece of equipment. Also remember in those days the parents were not called by their first names. so the boys did not remember their parents names, except Mr. & Mrs Carter, or how ever you would say mother and father in Ireland. I hope now there are enough people interested in their family's history that someone has heard my story from one of their relatives, and will answer this email. Thank you for listening to my story. Can anyone out there help me. June

My James Carter was born 1815, possibly NC; had a son William b.1837 TN. This whole family went to Texas from Miss. about 1851. William had sons Frank 1890 and James 1892. It's possible William had other sons earlier than that, tho I have no info on that. I know he had several daughters beginning 1870. S. M.

BRENDA, Any chance of finding a death certificate on your grandfather? It might list parents names. Then try an obituary. Many times they have good information. If you have your gr-grandfather's death date, how about an obituary on him?

Hello List Folks, Before marriage my name was Brenda Jean Carter. My great Grandfather lived in Ohio and fought in the 14th Infantry. He married Mattie Hand I believe. His tombstone reads Jon Carter and then the civil war info. Mattie, possibly short for Martha or something similar, is burried next to him. My Grandfather Eldon Carter is burried next to them with his wife Mary. They ar burried in a small cemetery in Indian River Michigan. Our family remains in Michigan. I am hoping to find someone who can connect to the family when they were in Ohio or in Detroit MI. We ar now in the area of Saginaw MI. Any ideas? Anything seem the least bit familiar to any Carters out there? My father is in his 80's and says there were rumors of possible Indian blood in the family and he suspects English or French. I do not rule out Irish either. I WANT to know where we came from and I am lost . Help.Help? Thanks to anyone with info or ideas. Brenda
