Given the increased activity on the Carter List, I am asking for any help with research on either the ancestors or the descendants of brothers: Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER (c. 1848 GA-1928 TX) and Jesse L. CARTER (c.1852 GA- ?). Their first known direct Carter ancestor was Kindred CARTER (c 1750 ?- 1800 GA). Here is the little that I have on this Carter family: I. Kindred CARTER married Ruth (--?--). He was born circa 1749/50. He died c. 1800 in Columbia County, Georgia. A. James CARTER was born circa 1773 North Carolina. He married Eleanor "Ellen" DUCKWORTH before 1798, probably in Warren County, Georgia. Eleanor "Ellen" was the daughter of Jeremiah DUCKWORTH and Christiana RAMSEY . 1. James D. CARTER married Mary E. HARRIS, daughter of Gray HARRIS and Nancy FULLER, on 8 Jun 1847 Stewart County, Georgia. James D. died circa 1854 Talbot County, Georgia. a) Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER married Malinda Francis HARRIS. He was born on 8 Apr 1848. He appeared on the census of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 12, Household of Gray Harris). He appeared on the census of 1880 (Sabine Co TX, Age 30). He died on 8 Jan 1928 Shelby County, Texas, at age 79. He was buried Center Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas. b) Jesse L. CARTER was born circa 1852 Georgia. He appeared on the census of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 8, Household of Gray Harris). He appeared on the census of 30 Jun 1870 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 17, Household of Thomas & Julia Amanda Harris Ritch). He and Susan (--?--) appeared on the census of 1880 (Same page in Census as Gray Harris, his grandfather, and Emily Harris Blair Lunsford, his Aunt). (1) Jim CARTER was born circa 1877.

I also have my ancestor on the Carter DNA website www.carter-cousins.org But I'm beginning to believe he didn't have ANY relatives. Mine is # 14439. He was born "in VA". He married 1818 in what is now Lewis Co, WV but was VA at that time. Jane, his wife was a young widow who had first married in Monongolia Co, VA. We can find no death records or tombstones. The only thing we have to go by as to birth and death dates is what was written in the long ago in a book, census records which do fit with these dates and family lore. He is in the 1860 census of Jackson Co, WV living with a son but Jane and an unmarried daughter are missing. Can't find them anywhere. Sons were named Robert Marshall Carter, John H Carter and William L Carter, in that order. Robert is my ancestor and we can't find records to pin-point his birth. We can't even be sure we have them in the 1820 census because the one ( and there are almost none, period) which seems to fit has two women in Jane's age group and an older woman in the household and there are four little girls which don't fit unless Robert may have been listed as a female by mistake. Only his mother lived in the area?; his family was passing through and he fell in love and stayed?; or he went back?; he was born out of wedlock? he had a brother, sister in the area? etc. etc. Help, Mary Carter Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Winn" <marywinn@cfl.rr.com> To: <CARTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 1:11 AM Subject: Re: [CARTER-L] > Bob, check out the Carter DNA study at > www.carter-cousins.org > > Some of us are related.

Hi List: With so many posting to the Carter List, I decided to post my Carters to this list: I finally found the father of my Ann Carter married Thomas Hawkes in 1751. She is the daughter of John and Mary Palmer. In Wellingboro I found him having several children baptized the same year and a new marriage and other children. The record says: Mary was six years of age at Xmas last (in 1734 so 1733 minus 6 would be 1hat she was born in 1727 Richard son of John being 5 years of age Xmas last 1734 Ann dau of John being four years of age at Candelemas last 1734 John son of John being three years of age next midsummer 1734 Sarah Being one year old last lady day 1734 Elizabeth 13 days old 5 May 1734 ch 22 Apr 1734 Thomas Carter ch 6 Dec 1735 (new wife's name not mentioned) buried Dec 1735 Edward son of John bap 4 Dec 1736 1. I am looking for his wifes name and his 2nd wifes name. I found John married to Jane Allen (ch 19 Sep 1694) in All Hallows Wellingborough Three children: Hannah 24 Jun 1742 burial 5 Nove 1743/44 Joseph 20 Dec 1743 buried 22 Dec 1743 Joseph 10 Jul 1744 If anybody knows of this family, Please share. Thank you for your time Regards Nina

This Robert Carter was the son of Richard Carter (abt 1712-1787) and Margaret Bruce (1727/27 - 1778). His wife was Elizabeth "Betty," and I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have access to recent research as to Elizabeth's surname. There has been speculation that she may have been a Pinson. Best, Lowell

I forgot to mention, regarding the "speculated" connection of Nancy Carter to William Kidd Carter that my cousin has presented, the fact that Nancy Carter, daughter of William Kidd Carter, had a brother named: William J. Carter, born ca: 1830 and that she also had another brother named: Jonathan David (J.D.) Carter born: 1844. There is no sister, that I see, named S.L. Carter. Again, this is all fodder for consideration and is simply speculation. Chuck -------Original Message------- From: Chuck Carter Date: 03/19/06 11:58:30 To: CARTER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [CARTER-L] My Carter brick wall..........( Long, VERY LONG) OK, here we go: (Sorry for the LONG post -- I got carried away. ) My great grandfather was: WILLIAM JASPER CARTER - my Grandfather and my Dad were estranged when my Dad was 8 yrs old. Dad's Mom died at that time [ Marlowe Susie (Scott) Carter - 1907-1938, daughter of Walter Gray Scott 1884-1910 and Susie Virginia (Wolverton) Scott, 1882-1961 ]. Dad's little brother had died just a few years earlier, so when my Grandmother died, my grandfather dropped Dad off with his maternal Grandmother Susie Virginia Scott, and was gone. Alas, I never had much of a relationship with the scumb bucket and the few brief encounters I did have with him, it was like talking to an empty barrel. I asked several times about his father, but he never really answered any questions direct. When asked where his father was buried, he took me to the cemetery and waived his hand and said, "He's buried out yonder" pointing in the direction of a clump of oak trees. He also told me he had no surviving sibblings. (Now, off my rant and back on subject) William Jasper Carter - from what I can find in census records, was born: ca: March, 1867. I find record of him living with his mother: Nancy (maiden name unknown) - born: ca March, 1842 in the 1870 Census of Carroll Co., TN. According to the census, she was born in Tennessee. Living in the same household with W.J. Carter and his mother, are his two sibblings: Sarena L. Carter, born: ca October, 1862 and John Daniel Carter, born: 1864 - died: ca 1942. -- There is no male head of household listed in the census. William Jasper Carter married: Clarrisa Jane Wood - born: 30 April 1868, Caroll Co., TN - died: 17 June 1954, Humboldt, Gibson Co., TN - buried: Mt Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn. - She was the daughter of: William Henry Wood and Martha Green Davis. William J. Carter married Clarrisa J. Wood - 02 December 1888, Carroll Co. TN and were marreid by: W.P. Alexander, J.P. I have located William J. & Clarrisa J. Carter, and family living in Henderson Co., TN at the time of the 1900 census and then living in Madison Co., TN at the time of the 1910 census. According to my grandfather, his father moved the family to: Manila, Mississippi Co., Arkansas sometime after 1910. He claimed his father died in 1914 and was buried in the unmarked grave. My grandfather: Eugene Carter - born: 11 March 1905, Claybrook, Madison Co. TN - died: 16 July 1979, Mississippi Co., Arkansas and is buried: Manila Cemetery, Mississippi Co., Arkansas. He was the youngest son of William J. & Clarrisa J. Carter. The children of William J. & Clarrisa J. Carter are: 1.) Stancel Lee Carter (known as Uncle Lee) born: 02 February 1893 - Tipton TN - died: 28 May 1958, Manila, Mississippi Co., Arkansas - buried: Manila Cemetery - married: Nora Belle Hatfield 2.) Infant Carter - died young - information provided by a family member I will relate to later in this report. Gender of this child is unknown to me, but I know he/she was born after Uncle Lee. 3.) Hassie G. Carter - born: February, 1899, TN - died: Unknown - Hassie, apparently became pregnant out of wedlock. She is reported to have had a son, "Buddy" Carter. Hassie G. Carter moved to California and pulled a disappearing act. She was not heard of again until shortly before my grandfather died. She was to have come to visit from somewhere in California, but she too apparently died before making the trip. She's, at this point, an unknown from what I have. I do have a photo of her and he son "Buddy", but that's it. 4.) Infant Carter - same descripton at in Child #2, however this one was born after Hassie G. Carter. 5.) My grandfather, Eugene Carter 6.) Flossie Lorene Carter - born: 30 January 1906, Madison Co., Tn - died: 30 January 1998, Medina, Gibson Co., TN - buried: Mt Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn - she was married to: Eddie Grover Pillow - born: 18 June 1899 Tennesee - died: 27 February 1967, Jackson, Madison Co., TN - buried: Mt Zion Cemetery, Medina, Gibson Co, Tn ** This is the family member that was unknown to me!! My grandfather told me no one survived him, my father was even unaware that his Aunt was still living when I started this research. I found her, by accident, during my research. I contacted her, but due to her age, she was not coherent on the telephone. I had planned to visit her in Tennessee, but then she died before I could visit. I've had long talks with her daughter, who told me that her mother claimed her father did not die in 1914, but rather that he had died in July, 1918. It seems that the only thing my grandfather and Aunt Flossie could agree on was that their father had died. It was, however, in talking with the daughter of Flossie Lorene Carter that I learned more about William Jasper Carter's sibblings. Sarena L. Carter is reported to have married: George Alexander Wiles, born: ca: March, 1858, Silver Creek, Marshall Co., TN - died: Sometime before 1920 - they are reported to have been married in Tennessee on 21 October 1884. John Daniel Carter - born: 28 September 1864, Metropolis, Massac Co., Illinois - died: ca: 1942, Spring Creek, Madison Co., TN - buried: White Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. -- John Daniel Carter married: James Bernetta Holmes, born: 28 March 1868, Carroll Co., TN - died: 4 November 1929, Gibson Co., TN - buried: White Rose Cemetery, Gibson Co., TN. - I have no idea who her parents were. It was through talking with some of the decendants of J.D. Carter that I learned a little more about the family. However, they also do not know who the father of: S.L., J.D. & W.J. Carter is! I have some information on the children of all the above referenced people, but will not post that info here, as it might tend to confuse and make this message even longer. If someone is interested, please write and I will post that information. Now, back to W.J. Carter: One of the cousins I met, who is descended from J.D. Carter and has been researching the family has speculated the following: Nancy Carter is listed in the 1870 census of Carroll Co., TN - as indicated above, there is no male head of household listed. I had/have speculated that her husband, the father of the children, apparently must have died. However, Joe, the cousin I spoke of, has speculated that Nancy Carter may have been a single mother and that Nancy Carter, was in fact that: Nancy Carter, born: ca 1842, daughter of William Kidd Carter and his wife Elizabeth, listed on the 1850 Census of Dyer Co., TN. Now me, I have a hard time jumping to that conclusion for several reasons. Nancy" was a VERY COMMON name for girls in that time frame. While researching my mother's family, WALLACE, I've found numerous "Nancy" Wallace s, that were 1st cousins living at the same time, and in the same area as the other Nancy Wallace's. To speculate that "Nancy" Carter, mother of S.L. J.D. & W.L. Carter is the same Nancy Carter, daughter of William Kidd Carter, it stretching it a tad bit. However, he could be right and I may very well be wrong - I just need more information. However, it seems rather hard for me to imagine, considering the religious & moral beliefs/practices at that time, for a single woman to have 3 children, out of wedlock. She would have been considered a Red Letter woman (good time girl) which would have been a taboo, considering the time. There again, she may have married a 1st Cousin named Carter. It's amazing how many 1st & 2nd Cousin marriages you find back then, but the mind set was to keep the family money & lands within the family. Also, a binding of the family was also used for mutual defense in a wild & less civilized time. Well, I've carried on for way too long! If someone can help break through the mystery of who Nancy Carter, mother of S.L., J.D. & W.L. Carter is, then you have my eternal gratitude! Who was she married to? Is she, in fact, the daughter of William Kidd Carter and if so, was she married or not? I appreciate any help. Also, it's nice to see the increased activity on this list since my question of yesterday. Regards, Chuck Carter Charles E.

It was through talking with some of the decendants of J.D. Carter that I learned a little more about the family. However, they also do not know who the father of: S.L., J.D. & W.J. Carter is! I have some information on the children of all the above referenced people, but will not post that info here, as it might tend to confuse and make this message even longer. If someone is interested, please write and I will post that information. Now, back to W.J. Carter: One of the cousins I met, who is descended from J.D. Carter and has been researching the family has speculated the following: Nancy Carter is listed in the 1870 census of Carroll Co., TN - as indicated above, there is no male head of household listed. I had/have speculated that her husband, the father of the children, apparently must have died. However, Joe, the cousin I spoke of, has speculated that Nancy Carter may have been a single mother and that Nancy Carter, was in fact that: Nancy Carter, born: ca 1842, daughter of William Kidd Carter and his wife Elizabeth, listed on the 1850 Census of Dyer Co., TN. Now me, I have a hard time jumping to that conclusion for several reasons. Nancy" was a VERY COMMON name for girls in that time frame. While researching my mother's family, WALLACE, I've found numerous "Nancy" Wallace s, that were 1st cousins living at the same time, and in the same area as the other Nancy Wallace's. To speculate that "Nancy" Carter, mother of S.L. J.D. & W.L. Carter is the same Nancy Carter, daughter of William Kidd Carter, it stretching it a tad bit. However, he could be right and I may very well be wrong - I just need more information. However, it seems rather hard for me to imagine, considering the religious & moral beliefs/practices at that time, for a single woman to have 3 children, out of wedlock. She would have been considered a Red Letter woman (good time girl) which would have been a taboo, considering the time. There again, she may have married a 1st Cousin named Carter. It's amazing how many 1st & 2nd Cousin marriages you find back then, but the mind set was to keep the family money & lands within the family. Also, a binding of the family was also used for mutual defense in a wild & less civilized time. Well, I've carried on for way too long! If someone can help break through the mystery of who Nancy Carter, mother of S.L., J.D. & W.L. Carter is, then you have my eternal gratitude! Who was she married to? Is she, in fact, the daughter of William Kidd Carter and if so, was she married or not? I appreciate any help. Also, it's nice to see the increased activity on this list since my question of yesterday. Regards, Chuck Carter Charles E.

> "Nicholas CARTER, b. 25 Dec, 1780, Morristown, > N.J., d. bet 1840-1850, Helt, Vermillion Co. IN" Thank you, Thank you!! My James Carter lived in Eugene Twp. in Vermillion Co. IN between 1830 and 1840. I've always wondered if he was related to Nicholas. Now I know that he wasn't! I'm also curious about a Solomon Carter who purchased public land in Vermillion County in the 1830's. Have you run across any information about him?

I thought it would be a good time to inquire about the above subject what with all the Carter action. In 1929 the above subject stated that he had 3 sons, 1 in New York, 1 in Washington, D.C. and 1 in Houston, Tx. Are there any descendants out there of these sons or anyone that knows of them. I have a vested interest in getting a member of this family group to join the Carter DNA group. Carl Matlock

Seeking any information on Col. THOMAS CARTER, early tavern keeper in Indianapolis in 1820s. Parents, siblings, wife etc. Dick Carter rcar37@prodigy.net

As I suspected, my INBOX had 95 new emails this morning. Thank heavens for DSL and a very fast computer. I may have to open a new Yahoo email address just for my CARTER list. Well, you asked for it, so here is my CARTER family so far. There is a lot more information on many of the ones in the 1800s which I will be happy to share. I have to thank my cousin, Paul Ross in Indianapolis, for all his hard work helping me find many of these folk. I am presently in a small country village in England and unable to do much library research. Travel and lodging in England is prohibitively expensive and severely limits my research here. My CARTERS from Yorkshire, England to Iola, Kansas: Roger CARTER, b. 8 May, 1595, Helperby, Yorkshire, Eng FATHER: Thomas CARTER MOTHER: Ellen WADE m. 25 Nov 1627, St Michaels, Belfry, Yorkshire, Eng., Emma RAYLES, b. abt. 1597, of Helperby, Yorkshire, Eng FATHER: William RAYLES MOTHER: Abigail HAXUPP, b. abt 1582, Yorkshire, England Nicholas CARTER, b. 4 June, 1629 Helperby, Yorks, Eng., d. 8 Nov, 1681, Elizabethtown, NJ, US Speaking only of Nicholas’ sons Samuel and Nicholas, named below, they are BOTH listed in various on-line sources as the father of Barnabas Carter, b. 1680. There were several Samuel, Nicholas, Benjamin and Barnabas Carters listed in various lists and documents but all are descendants of the Helperby line. The problem is determining who is son/father of whom. Nicholas CARTER, b. 1658, Newtown, New York Children- 1. Barnabas CARTER, b.1680, Elizabethtown, N.J. d.

I have no records for anyone above this point, as I’ve only been able to piece together these names and relationships from on-line census records, other on-line “family records” and various books. I consider everything above here as accurate from Nicholas b. 1741 and speculative before him. I will use the above to find the proper “official” records and make copies for my own files.

CARTER (AKA: Jack HAMMOND) b. 1894, KS, lived in Kansas City and worked as an electrician and was a member of the electrician’s union. Alive in the 1950s, but have not researched him. Claimed he took his wife’s name when he married, but is found using the name “Jack Hammond” in the 1920 census which lists him as “Single”. Was married, but no known children. 6. Ralph L. CARTER, known to the family as “LeRoy” which may have been his middle name. b. 1897-8, Kansas (1910 Census, Humbolt, Allen County, Kansas, 13 years old), d. “Old Soldier’s Home” Leavenworth, KS, 1929 subsequent to gassing in WWI.

Lived in Kansas City, MO, not married, no children, served in US Navy in 1920, on the last of the square-rigged sailing ships. Living in Kansas City in early 1950s. Have not researched him.
