It's time for me to post again about my female CARTER I have been searching for info on for over 20 plus years. Any new members of this list may have the info. Any new or regular members of this list have any female CARTER relative that has a first name of Devine and is a decendant of the HOWARD line I would love to hear from! My Devine is my 2nd great-grandmother. Her full name was Devine Howard CARTER bn 1808 somewhere in VA. Her father was William CARTER of VA and only know her mother was a HOWARD connected with Pres. Thomas JEFFERSON lines. She died in 1898 in Spanish Fort,Montague Co.,TX. I have searched the LAST surnames of Devine and Howard. Nothing. Have done searches on web and Ancestry.com. Have done searches for Jefferson's line. I know she existed as I have two wonderful pictures of this tiny little lady. I know that there are two female CARTER women living in the early 1700's with the name of Devine Howard CARTER living in Person Co.,NC. They are from the Groves and Hiram CARTER lines. I believe this is where she is connected to. But I need documentation. I have early female great-grandaughters of hers that were named for her with the Devine name in their middle names and even one in present time. Forgot to say she married Joseph MORELAND of Surry Co.,NC and they lived most of their lives in Walker Co.,GA until 1870 and then she went to Texas with her son, my great grandfather, Joseph MORELAND. Her husband died sometime after 1850. So, I will continue to post about my Devine until someone connects! : ) Anyone put their Carter ancestors picture on the "Dead Fred" web? Thank you anyone for your reply. Michelle Moreland Orlando

And it's time for me to post again re my elusive Carter ancestor, Bentley Frederick Carter, my grandfather, born sometime around 1865-ish, probably in GA. It's an unusual enough first name that it should jump out--but it hasn't jumped out for me. Is this familiar to anyone? Regards, Katherine Kurtz
