    1. James & William CARTER: TN, MO, CO
    2. Nancy Foster
    3. I am actually looking for descendents of James CARTER, born about 1852 in Tennessee, and his son William, born March 1870 in Stoddard County, Missouri. James married Nancy Jane LANE TAYLOR, a widow with three children, 14 March 1869 in Stoddard County. They had two children: William and Amanda Elizabeth "Bettie". James was gone by 1880, leaving Nancy with five children. William married Lon REYNOLDS on 26 Dec 1889 in Stoddard County. Together they had at least 10 children, two of whom had died by 1910: Clarence E, born 1891 in Missouri; Andie (probably Andrew) E, born 1893 in Missouri; Fred, born 1895 in Missouri; Pearl D, born 1902 in Missouri; John G (or J) born 1905 in Oklahoma; Berta V, born 1907 in Oklahoma; Willie M, a daughter, born January 1910 in Arkansas; and Lewis R, born 1913 in Colorado. The family had apparently just arrived in Colorado in 1910 where I found them in Minneapolis Township, Baca County. And they are still there in 1920. Bettie and Nancy were with William's family in 1910, but moved out of the household and wound up in Lamar. Bettie never married and after homesteading in Prowers County, Colorado, spent the rest of her life running a boarding house in Lamar, Colorado. Nancy died in 1922 at the age of 89. Bettie died in 1961 also at the age of 89. I am trying to find the descendents of William CARTER and Lon REYNOLDS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Nancy
