ONLY ONE OTHER POSSIBILITY (This one has haunted me for years!): JOSEPH CARTER of Greene Co., TN, d. ca 1810-11 at a ripe old age (no will) supposedly born in VA (one source said Bedford Co.) 17 Nov 1780, Greene Co., TN, witness in a county court case 1780 tax list, 1300 acres, 7 horses, 12 cattle ONE KNOWN SON: Joseph CARTER Jr. b. on the James River in VA (about 1750???) Married Phebe HARMAN METHODIST PREACHER d. about 1830, Green Co., TN HIS WIDOW MOVED TO MONROE CO., TN, died there age 103 7 children: Micajah, Jabish, Lewis, Sidney, Atlanta, Celetia, Cynthia. OTHER POSSIBLE SONS OF JOSEPH SR.: MICAJAH CALEB??? [Note: there was a Micajah CARTER in Greene Co., TN. Caleb CARTER was bondsman on his marriage 1783 or 1787 --- also one in Blount Co., TN, in records there 1800 and after --- also in Monroe Co., TN records] The above information is in a loose file in Greene Col, TN library, found by Stanley T. Carter. In the Nov. 1991 issue of the Greene Co. Pioneer, Sue Carter Thompson, wrote that Joseph CARTER, POSSIBLY came down from New Jersey with John Sr. Levi and their families.*** Therefore, this JOSEPH CARTER is another Greene Co. family whish has been all mixed up in previous research.*** That's it! CARTER RESEARCH DONE BY GLENN DALE & KATHRYN CARTER. PRESENTED HERE IN THE HOPE THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE HAS THE DOCUMENT THAT IS OUR MISSING LINK! Barb
