I am seeking info on Josephus W. Carter. I hope by obtaining info on Josephus it will lead me to my great-grandfather's family. Josephus was born abt. 1822 AL. He married Frances E. Ross 1 Nov 1849 Tallapoosa Co., AL. I have found him on the 1870 and 1880 Tallapoosa Co., AL Census. On the 1880 census my great-great-grandmother, Francis M. Unknown Mitchell aged 38 born GA and three children: James W. Mitchell aged 16 born GA; Frances L. Mitchell aged 12 born GA and Eutarcus Mitchell aged 6 born GA were living with Josephus. Frances M. Unknown Mitchell was a widow. I'm trying to find if there is a connection between Josephus and Frances. I believe that Frances was a Carter Last night while searching through the Georgia Marriages on ancestry I found a Frances M. Carter that married Francis M. Mitchell 10 Apr 1861 in Dooly Co., GA.. I believe this is the Frances M. Mitchell that was living with Josephus W. Carter. I have not been able to find Francis M. Mitchell with a wife named Frances M. Mitchell on the 1870 census. My great-grandfather, Eutarcus was born in 1875 in GA, possibly Dooly Co. Does anyone know anything about this Carter or Mitchell family? I welcome any help, suggestions or info on this elusive family. Thanks, Brenda Smith Inlow Plant City, Florida res170v4@verizon.net
