I am new to this list and joined for the purpose of trying to prove or disprove a relationship to June Carter Cash (wife of singer Johnny Cash.) I would greatly appreciate anyone's help! My grandmother, who passed away in 1990, was Flossie Pearl Waits of Cincinnati, Washington Co., Arkansas. She used to speak of June's mother, Maybelle Addington Carter, and stated several times to different ones in the family that June was a cousin. I am guessing that the connection must be through the Carter line because I don't know of any connections to the Addington name. My grandmother's father, Albert Ashley Waits, had two sisters who married Carter brothers. Mary Jane Waits (1851-1918) married Charles Powell Carter (1836-1924) and they moved from northwest Arkansas to McKinney, Texas. Rhoda Elizabeth Waits (1848-1909) married Charles' brother, Lewis Benton Carter (1844-1930) and lived in Madison Co., Arkansas. Charles Powell Carter and Lewis Benton Carter were sons of George Washington Carter and Nancy Hasty. George was born Dec 23, 1800 in Laurens Co., SC and died May 7, 1875 in Washington Co., Arkansas. I believe George was the son of John Carter and Isibiah? and grandson of George Carter and Naomi Turk. I know very little about the Carter family and would truly appreciate any help in finding the connection of which my grandmother used to speak. Thank you! Dave Duncan Ohio
