John Carter m Elizabeth Moore in Barren Co., KY in 1813. I have a lot of data on Elizabeth's family but nothing at all on John. There were several Carter families in Barren Co in the 1810 census but I have never been able to connect John to one of these families. John was born around 1790 in VA. He left Barren Co around 1818 and went to IL with Elizabeth's parents. They appeared on the 1820 census of White Co., the part of White Co that became Hamilton Co. Other families from Barren Co moved to this Co about the same time. A few years later, John Carter appears in Sangamon Co., IL along with some other family members of Elizabeth. He is recorded as a voter in a few elections and was a member of the Liberty Baptist Church. He is listed in the 1830 and 1840 census of Sangamon Co. Of his children are James S., Thomas and Mary Frances. Three older girls born before 1820. I believe one girl was Rebecca but the other two elude me. I have tried to determine who his parents were if they were one of the families in Barren Co. Does anyone have any information on Carters in Barren Co., KY? early 1880's. Margarette Davis
