My gr gr grandparents, Luman (b. 1795) and Susanna Abigail Carter (b. 1804) both born in Benson, Rutland Co., VT had 7 or 8 children that I found in the LDS (Latter-day Saints) computer file. I've only been able to find two of their children-both born in Vermont- in the Ohio censuses- Charity Carter born 20 May 1833 and my gr grandfather Simeon Jabez Carter born 7June 30. The birthdate for Simeon Jabez Carter was in a family bible. Can you help me find the others? The children as they appear in the LDS -IGI file are as follows: 1. Levina CARTER ....... B: 7 Sep 1826- Kirtland, Lake, Ohio (birthpl. must be incorrect 2. Christiana CARTER..B: Abt 1829 " " " (birthpl. must be incorrect 3. Charity CARTER ......B: 20 May 1833 " " " (birthplace incorrect) 4. Simion CARTER........B: Abt. 1835 " " " (DOB and place incorrect) 5. John CARTER............B: Abt 1837 " " " (can't find him in Ohio) 6. Susannah CARTER..B: Abt 1839 " " " (can't find him in Ohio) 7. Armina CARTER........B: Abt 1842 " " " (I think these last two could 8. Amira CARTER..........B: Abt 1844 " " " be the same person. Can't find her in Ohio). Jabez (81years old) and his son Luman Carter came to Kirtland, Geauga County (later Lake Co.) Ohio from Benson, Vermont with their families, probably in 1833, when Charity was a new born baby and (according to his obituary)- Simeon was 2 years old. What do you suppose happened to the other children? Did they die as infants or as youngsters? In 1833 Levina would have been 7 yrs old, Christiana 4 yrs. old and both would have been born in Vermont. And the rest , John, Susannah, Armina and /or Amira would have been born in Kirtland, Ohio between about 1837 and 1844. Their parents Luman and Susannah Carter stayed, lived and died in Kirtland, Ohio. Jabez and Luman and Susannah are mentioned in old Mormon Church records but I've found none of the children (other than Charity and Simeon) are in any Ohio records. Have you see these names?
