I also have my ancestor on the Carter DNA website www.carter-cousins.org But I'm beginning to believe he didn't have ANY relatives. Mine is # 14439. He was born "in VA". He married 1818 in what is now Lewis Co, WV but was VA at that time. Jane, his wife was a young widow who had first married in Monongolia Co, VA. We can find no death records or tombstones. The only thing we have to go by as to birth and death dates is what was written in the long ago in a book, census records which do fit with these dates and family lore. He is in the 1860 census of Jackson Co, WV living with a son but Jane and an unmarried daughter are missing. Can't find them anywhere. Sons were named Robert Marshall Carter, John H Carter and William L Carter, in that order. Robert is my ancestor and we can't find records to pin-point his birth. We can't even be sure we have them in the 1820 census because the one ( and there are almost none, period) which seems to fit has two women in Jane's age group and an older woman in the household and there are four little girls which don't fit unless Robert may have been listed as a female by mistake. Only his mother lived in the area?; his family was passing through and he fell in love and stayed?; or he went back?; he was born out of wedlock? he had a brother, sister in the area? etc. etc. Help, Mary Carter Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Winn" <marywinn@cfl.rr.com> To: <CARTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 20, 2006 1:11 AM Subject: Re: [CARTER-L] > Bob, check out the Carter DNA study at > www.carter-cousins.org > > Some of us are related.

Given the increased activity on the Carter List, I am asking for any help with research on either the ancestors or the descendants of brothers: Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER (c. 1848 GA-1928 TX) and Jesse L. CARTER (c.1852 GA- ?). Their first known direct Carter ancestor was Kindred CARTER (c 1750 ?- 1800 GA). Here is the little that I have on this Carter family: I. Kindred CARTER married Ruth (--?--). He was born circa 1749/50. He died c. 1800 in Columbia County, Georgia. A. James CARTER was born circa 1773 North Carolina. He married Eleanor "Ellen" DUCKWORTH before 1798, probably in Warren County, Georgia. Eleanor "Ellen" was the daughter of Jeremiah DUCKWORTH and Christiana RAMSEY . 1. James D. CARTER married Mary E. HARRIS, daughter of Gray HARRIS and Nancy FULLER, on 8 Jun 1847 Stewart County, Georgia. James D. died circa 1854 Talbot County, Georgia. a) Mirabeau B. Lamar CARTER married Malinda Francis HARRIS. He was born on 8 Apr 1848. He appeared on the census of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 12, Household of Gray Harris). He appeared on the census of 1880 (Sabine Co TX, Age 30). He died on 8 Jan 1928 Shelby County, Texas, at age 79. He was buried Center Cemetery, Shelby County, Texas. b) Jesse L. CARTER was born circa 1852 Georgia. He appeared on the census of 14 Aug 1860 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 8, Household of Gray Harris). He appeared on the census of 30 Jun 1870 (Muscogee Co GA, Age 17, Household of Thomas & Julia Amanda Harris Ritch). He and Susan (--?--) appeared on the census of 1880 (Same page in Census as Gray Harris, his grandfather, and Emily Harris Blair Lunsford, his Aunt). (1) Jim CARTER was born circa 1877. He appeared on the census of 1880 in the household of Jesse L. CARTER and Susan (--?--). (2) Clarence CARTER was born circa 1879. He appeared on the census of 1880 in the household of Jesse L. CARTER and Susan (--?--). (1880 Muscogee Co GA Census, p. 612C.) Selected Sources: Descendant of Mirabeau B. Lamar Carter, Hemphill, TX. Bertie Carter Pratt: Personal Communication with Kenneth H.
