In the data below number 10 and 11 are both Thomas Carter. One has a wife spelled Elinor. That odd spelling for Elinor was carried in my Thomas Carter line. Can you direct me to the web site so I can investigate further? I too may be in this line.

Theron and all, The Peter and Judith Morris....this is what I have for them Peter Carter and Judith Norris perhaps spelling got mixed up. This Peter is the s/o Thomas Carter, Jr which is my direct lineage. The problem is that I dont have a Morris Carter as a brother to Peter. I discussed that with my mother and she said she is not sure who this Morris was but I am hanging on that one to search further. This is what I have the children of Capt. Thomas Carter, Jr and Arabella Williamson: James Carter Joseph Carter Thomas Carter III Edward Carter Daniel Carter Peter Carter Dale Carter Charles Carter Does anyone have a will of Capt. Thomas Carter, Jr? Maybe Morris may be on it. Chris Carter L Bennett <rabit@preferred.com> wrote: In the data below number 10 and 11 are both Thomas Carter. One has a wife spelled Elinor.
