Hello list, I hope this makes sense. Seeking information on my great aunt, Lillie Watson. I am not sure if she married a Carter or if her real fathers name was Carter (I don't have a clue if she is the dau of my ggrandfather or ggrandmother.) She is my grandfather's half sister and my mother wrote in the bible "half sister, Lillie Carter." Also in the bible she wrote Aunt Lillie Carter deceased, but not dates, she died before 1983 because that is the year my mother passed away and my mother had written it in. Lillie is listed in the census (as a child) as Watson so I am assuming she married a Carter. Lillie is the dau of Branch Watson -OR- Linda Perkins (my ggrandparents). Her half siblings are: Clarence Watson, Kernie Watson, Daniel Boone Watson, Orvial Watson, Sherman Watson Rissie Watson, Madge Watson, Margie Watson Thanks for any help Dena

Hi all, Seeking info on William Carter born Charles Co., MD (don't know when). He died in KY in 1763. Wm. married Mary Spalding in 1735. Mary was the dau. of John Spalding and (?) Fields.

KY but prior to that I believe they were in what is now either Washington or Nelson County, KY. Any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks for your time. Rita McCutchan Redondo Beach, CA

Hello! I've been lurking for a few weeks. I am a descendant of Capt Thomas Carter (1630-1700), through Thomas II, III, IV and V, to James Carter (1807-1884), Samuel Ross Carter (1804-1903, married to Sarah Hunter Lucke), Shields Saunders Carter (1872-?, who was married to Louise Rice, but left her around 1910) and Weld Saunders Carter (1900-1989). I am looking for more information on James Carter's descendants, but especially about Samuel Ross Carter and Shields Saunders Carter and their wives. I don't know where they lived, other than that I think Weld Carter was born in New Jersey. I wonder if Shields married again after 1910, or if anyone has information about where he is buried. Can anyone help me? Thanks! Wyn Achenbaum

I have very little information on my Carter family and I would appreciate any help. Here is what I have: W.P. Carter born in Tennessee married Ann Goss, also, married TN. They had a son Andrew P. Carter born 1832/33 in Tennessee. On the Fannin Co, Texas census for 1860 it shows he is the District Clerk and married to Mary Milner/Moyer. They had five children: Frank M, George, Stanley, Kate and Mildred Margaret Ann (my direct line). On the 1870 Census it shows that Andrew P. was a bookkeeper. They later moved to Grayson Co., Texas. Andrew p. died at the Masonic Home in Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas on Dec 4, 1915. Frank M died on July 28, 1917 in Ft. Worth, Tarrant Co., Texas. Does anyone have any information on this family. Thank you for your help. Carter Jane (Fletcher) Bardwell yaiyai@lakecountry.net

I recently met by e-mail, Kay Rohrer who lives in Geauga County, Ohio and a descent of Carter's from Georgia. It turns out that her "southern" Carters were probably not related to my 'north-eastern" Carters. My Jabez and Luman Carters moved from Benson, Rutland Co, Vermont about 1830 to Kirtland, Geauga, Ohio. I know a lot about my Carters, because some of them were early Mormons, but there is still a lot more about them I'd like to know. For some reason-there were Carters relatives in the Kirtland area who did not maintain close ties with one another. Maybe it was antagonism that was stirred up in those days about religion---or maybe it was that the separate Carter families were just busy trying to survive. As most researchers have experienced, I too have contacted many "cousins" from whom I just have not been able to get a response. My guess is that they are just too busy with other things and/ or just are not interested. So this is a plea. If you live in or know about Carter's in the Kirtland, Geauga County area of Ohio, I'd love to know more about them. I was in an orphanage as a child and am determined to learn more about my roots. My mother was Mary Elizabeth CARTER b. 11 May 1915 d. 16 Jun 1998, the daughter of Simeon Carter and Nettie Lucinda Rippin of Painesville, Ohio Thanks for any help.
