Here is my Carter lines. The first one is my family. The second one is my husband's family. Joe Carter no dates married Martha Esslick No dates 1) James Napolean Carter "Jimpole" born 1875 in Avery, MO (Ozark Co.) wife Nancy Ann Woodward b- 1886 Newton county, AR. 1) Bessie Lee Ruby Carter b-1903 in AR married Tom Sams 2) Joe E. Carter b- married Edna 3) Martha Ellen Carter b- AR married Roy Merriman 4) Lillie Jane Carter born 1904 in AR married Johnnie Edwards 5) Minie Francis Luvinia Carter b-1910 AR married Elbert "Ellic" Ritchie 6) Desi Mae Carter b-1913 married James W. Lemons 7) James Roy Carter b-1914 in AR ( these are my Grandparents) and I have extensive information on their decendants) married Dorothy Murl Hyatt 8) Goldie Carter Twin who died at birth 1922 in AR 9) Sylvia Ann "Sybil" Carter b- 1922 in AR married James "Palzo" Ritchie (brother to Elbert, above) I have the decendants of these people and more dates. James "Jimpole" Carter was quite a character and traveled around a lot with his family. He and Nancy were divorced once and remarried and were separated at the time of his death. There are lots of stories about them, and most of them are not nice, but make for colorful tales. This second Joe Carter is my husband's line Joe Carter born in KY family traveled by wagon train to AR. It is assumed they came with the Dees family and others. Lived in Searcy county, Johnson co., and Sebastian counties in AR that I know of. He married Telitha Isabelle "Belle" Dees Their children included Vinella Carter b-1878 in Newton co. AR John Carter Robert V. Carter b- 1888 Jimmie Carter b 1892 Loyd Carter b-1896 Edna Carter b-1884 Maggie Carter b-1884 I have decendants of Vinella and her husband and only just started working on this family. I would appreciate any help on these families. Dianne email to : nascardoug@aol.com

Mathias Moore Carter's obit from the Keokuk County news dated 01/03/1933 Keokuk County's oldest resident, M.M. Carter, who lived between Ollie and Tick Ridge, died last Friday in an Ottumwa hospital at the age of 102 years. For more than 85 years, Mr. Carter has been a resident of this state and the greater part of this time he has lived on the Keokuk County farm on which he lived until his death. This farm, which the pioneer homesteaded to become its owner, is now the home of one of Mr. Carter's four daughters, Mrs. Elma Ruggles, where he spent the last few years of his life. Mr. Carter came to Iowa from Ohio, crossing Illinois and Indiana in a covered wagon and ferring across the Mississippi to take his claim in this virgin country. Iowa was then just a new state, only two years admitted to the union. When Mr. Carter came to this state, James Polk was president of the United States, but it wasn't until James Buchanan's contest for the presidency that the early resident of this county cast his choice for president. Although he gave up active participation in the duties of the farm nearly fifteen years ago, Mr. Carter maintained a keen interest in it's management. During his last few years, he enjoyed going on nice days to see the stock and to wander over the ground where he made a comfortable living for nearly three-quarters of a century. He took much pleasure in walking to the top of the hill, from the present location of the house, to the spot where the "old house" was located, which is now marked by two solitary trees. He was married in 1853 to Miss Lizzie Ashcraft, who die within a year after they were married. For nearly fifteen years, he lived alone and in 1865 he was married again, to Miss Nancy Jane Thomas, another girlfriend of his youth. The couple became the parents of five children, four of whom are living; Mrs. Eldora Northup and Mrs. Ruggles living on adjoining farms between Tick Ridge and Ollie, Mrs. Rose Ellis of Ottumwa, and Mrs. Artie Coughlan of What Cheer. There is also an adopted son, Thomas Carter, who lives near Richland. Mr. Carter's funeral was held Sunday afternoon from the Holiness Chapel, northwest of Ollie and interment was held in the Van Orsdall Cemetery. In charge of the funeral was Mrs. James Terrell of Ollie. Serving as pall bearerswere six grandsons of the pioneer Keokuk County man. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Fields/6746/ http://members.tripod.com/dunderwood/ormanindex.html

You probably received an OCR (optical character recognition) program with your scanner, but even then, accuracy can sometimes be only 75-80%. If used with a good word processor like WORD or WORDPERFECT you can get accuracy up to 90% or better. This is better than re-typing but can still be rather time consuming to correct spelling and context errors.

Two things. 1. Let me know if you have fax capability 2. Have any of you had experience scanning documents and sending them? I have a scanner, but haven't had experience with documents.
