He married Mary Catherine CARTER. She was born 1795 in NC, and died 18 May 1837. Generation No. 2 2.Robert CARTER was born ABT 1754 in Halifax Co. NC., and died 1798/1799 in Halifax Co. NC ... 3.Sarah BRADLEY ... Generation No. 3 4.Charles CARTER. Remember Thomas Carter Jr. and Arabella Williamson did have several sons, including: -Peter, ancestors of Chris and ostensibly also of Ezra J. "Eck" Carter who married Maybelle Addington and had June Carter who married Johnny Cash -Daniel, ancestor of President Therodore Roosevelt -Charles [maybe your but you'll need to check dates and places to determine if there's a match] I'd recommend (1)doing a more thorough search of WorldConnect for Robert Carter [with father Charles] or Charles Carter [with father Thomas Carter and mother Arabella Williamson] - this might yield something relevant. (2) Try to find out if Harris's wife, " Mary Catherine CARTER" was indeed a Carter in her own right. The connection of interest might be through her. Theron Smith
