I'm not having any luck & was wondering if any of your readers could help. This is what I would like to know. The 1850 census for Macon County Tenn.shows Edmond Carter,age 33 from Tn. His wife Martha Horne age 24 also from Tn. They had a daughter Sarah age 7,and 2 sons James age 5, Thomas age 2. Then in the 1860 census it shows Edmond Carter age 46, with wife Martha age 36, Edmond as being from North Carolina, one daughter sarah age 17, with 5 sons A.James age 16, Thomas G. age 14, William age 8, John age 5, and Gideon age 4. Then in the 1870 census for Macon County Tn. it shows Edward L. Carter age 55, and wife Martha J. age 46 and had 5 sons William age 17, John A. age 16, Gideon B. age 14, Robert W. age 9 & George E. age 5 years old. Robert W. Carter was my great Grandfather. He was born in 1861. Also in the 1870 census it shows a William H. Carter age 24, with a wife Sarah E. age 27,it also shows she was a Carter before marriage.I think she was Edward 's daughter. She had two daughter's Lauiza E. age 4,and Malvinia S. age 2. The 1870 census also shows a neighbor Thomas Carter age 80,with a wife Elizabeth age 81.Both are from North Carolina with a Thomas U. I think it should of read (G.) instead of (U.) age 24. This would be the right age for Edward's son & it says he had a handicap,& Thomas wasn't in Edward's family in 1870. The 1880 census shows William H. Carter age 35 with wife Sarah E. age 38,who had two daughter's Lorenza age 15,and Malvina age 12,& one son William Ed. age 6. The family believes Edward died in 1874 & Thomas died in 1871.After that time,none of the family shows up anywhere. It could be Sarah named her son William Ed. after her father. I do know my great Grandfather went to Sumner Co. Tn. and then Scottsville Ky. and back to Sumner Co. Thank You for Your Help, Christy Carter --------------033B92635ABAE40BA4E40FF2--
