My furthest back ancestor is John Carter (b. 1720? -- d 1811) . I am also part of the Carter DNA group. Janet Carter-Kessler

I am delighted to see this response on the Carter List. I haven't worked on my Carter brickwall for some time now, maybe it's time to try again. My earliest proven Carter ancestor is Frederick Alexander Carter (1775, Amelia Co, VA-1842, Laurens Co, GA) m. Sally Hightoer. Their son Thomas (1806-1870) m. Nancy whose son, Joseph O. W. (3/22/1849, Washington Co, GA-6/12/1920, Johnson Co, GA) m. Nancy Elizabeth Beasley. My grandfather Joseph Washington Carter was b. 3/16/1887, Laurens Co, GA and d. 5/7/1952, Tattnall Co, GA. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Charlotte Carter Young __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

My CARTER line brick wall is Stephen CARTER b about 1765 - possibly in NJ. He signed the petition for transferrence of the Washington/Greene Co, PA area to PA between 1776 & 1780, is on the Tax Lists for Amwell Twp., Washington Co., PA for the years 1781, 1783, & 1784, and he lived near Atkison's Fort on the middle fork of Lindsleys, on the Ten Mile. He emigrated, with his wife, Elizabeth PARKHURST, to North Bend (near Cincinnati), OH about April 1789 and was killed and scalped there about March 1790. He was in the Frontier Rangers and the Washington Co., PA Militia. Associated surnames are HATHAWAY, GERARD, GARD. Any connections? Bruce Sloan San Francisco

To George and the List - Here is my possible relationship to Capt. Thomas Carter. This is SPECULATION!: Captain Thomas Carter Peter Carter Job Solomon 1. Job had a son named Job, who died in Lexington, KY. There is a record of the son's will,which was probated in 1811. His brother Solomon is listed in the will. "My" Solomon Carter lived in Montgomery County at that time, only about 30 miles from Lexington. 2. There was another family (William Carter) in Montgomery County KY who was descended from Captain Thomas Carter's son John. If anyone has more information about Job's brother Solomon, I would really appreciate it! If I can't prove my relationship, at least I would like to eliminate this possibility.

I joined the list a few years ago, hoping to find some information on J. Floyd Carter. I have no idea where he was born or when. I do know that he was an Army major at the Presidio in the late 50s. And someone from this list suggested I Google his name, which I did, and found out he testified as an 'expert witness' in a UN Tribunal murder trial in the mid-90s. At that time, he was a retired Lt. Col. (US Army). That was all. If anyone on the list knows more about this man, it would be truly helpful. Other avenues have become dead ends - which sometimes happens when someone was in military intelligence. Thanks so much for keeping the list going! Cheryl Johnson

I'm glad to see people are still using this site!! I hadn't much activity either, but does anyone have info on Caleb Carter born in 1796 in Montgonery C. Va. I'm still looking for his parents! Sharon@ salolicomcast.net

Hi all, What Mr. Colby says is correct, Rootsweb does not close down mailing lists.

I suscribe to several Rootsweb lists and this is one of the most active. Even at that, I have not seen a post that I could help or that helps me. I'm patient. If I'm lucky I'll be around another 15 or 20 years and I may find some of the answers I've been looking for in that time. If nothing else, I'll leave some answers for someone else to use. As my wife says, it keeps me off the streets... I'll have to get my ancestral info and post in another note, as I am not at my gen computer. Basically, my family files originate with Richard Carter early 1600s in Yorkshire, England, go thru Barnabus in New Jersey, to Nicholas in New Jersey, Abraham in Indiana, Alpheus in Indiana and Kansas, and end with my paternal Grandmother, Sophia, possibly Sophronia or Saffronia, Carter marrying my Grandpa, Joseph W. Ross in 1908 in Humbolt, Kansas, after her first husband, Charles E. Mosier was killed by a horse he was shoeing. I am presently in England and have never SEEN so many Carters! It is a difficult name to research because there are so MANY of our cousins out there. Be careful what you wish for. My experience has been that the one answer I most want, when it comes only gives me ten more questions to be answered. It can be a Pandora's box.

Carter, Hardin & Wallace Cousins: I'm glad to see that I've struck a nerve! We've had many positive responses to the initial inquiry. No, I will not move to close these lists. I still feel as positive about them as I did 10 years ago when we struggled to start the group. We were initially hosted by a different server at the University of Indiana. After they were hacked and shut down, Rootsweb offered to host the lists, and each list owner had an option whether to move to Rootsweb or chose a different service. We, as a family, for I feel each list subscriber is part of our larger family, chose to move to Rootsweb. It has turned out to be a very good choice over the years. They've provided us with a lot of choices & services. What I would like to see is a renewed effort, by all of us, to get these lists active again. Remember, we've still got a lot of "brick walls" to conquer. Me, I still don't know: #1: Who the parents of my great grandfather: William Jasper Carter, were! Have a possible idea who his mother might be, but it still leaves questions and the big one is who was his father. #2: Who are the parents of Samuel Wallace, who was born ca 1754 and died ca 1796. #3: Just exactly who are the parents of: Sarah Hardin, who was married to Samuel Wallace. We know that she settled in the area of what now forms Webster & Union counties in Kentucky somewhere around 1799. From that point on, the family leaves a paper trail a mile wide. But what about the early years!! So me, I've got lots of questions. Me, I've only been researching some of these issues for only the last 12 years, but other family members have been at it for 60 plus years and still don't have an answer. I'm an eternal optimist and keep hoping someone new will join the group, post a question and the answer will surface and smack me in the face. Like I said, I'm an eternal optimist. So let's do it! Let's get these groups back in motion, chattering as in our past glory. Best regards to all and good hunting! Chuck Carter Charles E.

All, I join those saying the Carter list is useful. I will also say that every now and then I hear from someone concerning a posting that is several years old that has resulted in a brick wall coming down-just last week from someone on another list responded to a question I asked six years ago. I keep hoping this will happen with my Carters, which present my greatest challenge. I first encounter William D. Carter getting married in 1819 to Eleanor Lemmon (from Baltimore County, Maryland) in Harrison County, Indiana. (A land patent record indicates his middle name may have been Davisson.) According to his tombstone, he was born in January 1796. He and Eleanor lived their entire lives in Indiana; William died in 1873. In all the census records his birthplace was given as North Carolina. I have his will, which gave the names of his children" Sarah, b. 1821 Millison, b. 1823 (named for Eleanor's mother) Isaac, b. 1824 Rachel, b. 1827 Isabel, b. 1830 Francis Marion, b. 1831 David, b. 1834, William D, b. 1836 Martha, b. 1838 Eleanor, b. 1841 Miriam, b. 1849 (not sure if she is really a daughter of theirs) I have been unable to find any probable siblings of William's. I have traced all the children, with still no clue to William's ancestry. I have speculated that William's father was named Isaac (following the usual naming pattern), but that has not led anywhere. I would appreciate any ideas that anyone may have to pursue this elusive ancestor. Judy Damewood

What will happen is is that the list will be put up for adoption and someone else can volunteer to take over the lists. Or the current list admin can turn over the rains of the duties of this list to someone else.

Chuck: I am on both the Carter and Wallace lists. Like many folks, I stay very, very busy and don't often have time to participate actively. I would like to see more activity on both lists but don't feel knowledgeable enough to contribute a great deal. Is there a Wallace DNA project? And I would also like to know who on your Carter list is a participant in the Carter DNA project. I was a Carter by marriage and my son participated in the DNA testing in the hopes we could get past our dead-end. Unfortunately, it presented more questions than answers. For Wallace and Carter researchers, here is a link to a document with a mention of both surnames that may be beneficial to some. (From another researcher.) http://jrshelby.com/rfotw/robinson.txt Judy Solis ----- Original Message ----- From: Chuck Carter To: WALLACE-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 7:12 PM Subject: [WALLACE-L] [ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE] Checking & Testing......... Questions regarding the Status of the following family discussion groups: CARTER Family Disucssion Lists HARDIN Family Discussion Lists WALLACE Family Discussion Lists These lists, when I formed them 10 years ago (in 1996) used to be very active. As of late, I rarely see any traffic and don't think there has been a message in weeks. Is it worthwhile keeping these lists active? Have they become obsolete with the advent of the web based message boards of a number of years back and should they be closed down? Even I am not as active in the day to day use & management of these family lists as I used to be. I'm asking because I need your opinion. Please don't be shy, your participation is needed. When I initially started on my journey tracing my family background, ancestors, etc, I found these lists very helpful in my endeavors. Have they out lived their usefulness?

Good point! Maybe the admin could present some new ideas. How about a "roll call" by states of the Carter name. svanwyk ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald Colby" <rmcolby@micro-net.com> To: <CARTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 6:55 PM Subject: Re: [CARTER-L] [ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE] Checking & Testing......... > Rootsweb doesn't close lists > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Chuck Carter" <cetracer@comcast.net> > To: <CARTER-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2006 5:12 PM > Subject: [CARTER-L] [ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE] Checking & Testing......... > > > Questions regarding the Status of the following family discussion groups: > > CARTER Family Disucssion Lists > HARDIN Family Discussion Lists > WALLACE Family Discussion Lists > > These lists, when I formed them 10 years ago (in 1996) used to be very > active.
