McKinney CARTER, born in the 1780's probably in Virginia, was my gggg-grandfather. He was in Tennessee between 1808 & 1814, and possibly earlier, and then in Jackson Co., Indiana in late 1814. His wife was named Rachel, married her about 1804 but don't know where, and his children were: Matthew (b. abt 1806), Thomas W. (b. 1808 in TN), Benjamin M. (b. abt 1811 in TN), Robert (b. abt. 1814 in Eastern TN), Elizabeth (b. 1816/20 in Jackson Co., IN), and Cullen Wesley CARTER (b. abt. 1816/20 in Jackson Co., IN). McKinney CARTER died in Jackson Co., Indiana on 23 Nov 1832. Rachel, McKinney's widow, married Clemons DOWDEN in 1834 in Jackson Co., Indiana. Thomas W. and Benjamin M. were in Warren Co., MO by 1850; Thomas W. died in 1869 in Sullivan Co., MO; Robert was in Illinois in 1870 and died in AR in 1877. Cullen Wesley died before 1848 or so. Does anyone know McKinney CARTER and his wife's ancestry? Does anyone know something more about McKinney's family? Any info will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
