Since joining this Carter group, I've been hoping to see some Carter famiy from Mercer County Kentucky. Maybe this will reach someone who can help. My ancestor William W. Carter b prob 1790's and family tradition says the Carter family came from Carter's Ferry,Virginia. d 10-24-1888 MerCoKy. m 09-05-1821 to Phoebe C. Vanderipe b 12-05-1799 d 06-28-1878 MerCoKy dau of Cornelius Vanderipe and Mary (Polly) Westerfield. a son (my ancestor) John Addison Carter b 06-04-1829 MerCoKy d 10-05-1912 MerCoKy. m 03-01-1856 to Elizabeth Curry. I'll be so grateful for someone who may know something about my Wm. W. Carter. Thanks so much, Betty Ortiz [email protected]
