    1. [DEKENT] Elizabeth PARKER (?>MD>PA) Daniel CARTER (PA>MD>DE) families
    2. Dear PARKER and CARTER researchers, My great-great-great-great-grandmother was named Elizabeth PARKER.  I have been unable to locate ANY information on her besides that in the 1850 census. I am hopeful that if I share information I have about her spouse and children, someone out there might recognize her!  Maybe you!  (Don't you just love tracking down female ancestors?) And, of course, I am always interested in sharing/gathering information about my Carter clan. _________ Elizabeth PARKER (b. 1786-87 as per 1850 census)        married Daniel CARTER (b. Oct. 20, 1785, Carterville or Cartertown, Chester County, PA; d. March 12, 1851, Cecil County, MD). Given the birthplaces of their children, they must have lived in Carterville/Cartertown, Chester County, PA, when they were first married.  Later, they lived in nearby Cecil County, MD.  He died there; I have no information on her death as of yet. Their children were: (1) Joseph CARTER (b. Oct. 13, 1816; d. 1876) married Elizabeth HARGON. (2) James PARKER CARTER (b. Dec. 7, 1818, PA; d. Nov. 24, 1841, Cecil County, MD) married on July 2, 1840, in Cecil County, MD, to Frances Ann BARCUS (b. Feb. 14, 1822, MD; d. Dec. 9, 1860).         They had three children:              (a) Alfred BARCUS CARTER (b. Mar 29, 1841, MD; d. Mar. 29, 1911,                     Denton, Caroline Co., MD) married Lillian Ann MURPHY (b. Dec.                     10, 1839, MD; d. Feb. 17, 1921, Denton, Caroline Co., MD).                     Alfred and Lillian had six children; I can identify 5 of them and many of their descendants should anyone be interested.              (b) George Brown CARTER (b. Mar. 17, 1845, MD -- maybe OH as per                     1850 census; 1860 census says MD)              (c) Elizabeth CARTER (b. May 1, 1847, MD) married on Jan. 11, 1865,                     in Caroline County, MD, to William MURPHEY.                     (William Murphey and Lillian Ann Murphy are probably siblings,                     may be cousins.) (3) Daniel CARTER (b. July 10, 1820, PA; d. Sept. 3, 1865) married Martha E. HANNA. (4) Silas Evans CARTER (b. Dec. 18, 1823, PA; d. Sept. 15, 1854, prob. Cecil Co., MD) married Mary JANNEY. (5) Jeremiah CARTER (b. Apr. 17, 1827, PA; d. Sept. 1864) married Adaline WEST. I also have additional information on ELIZABETH PARKER and DANIEL CARTER's children and some of their offspring, as well as information on Daniel's ancestors should anyone care to exchange family information. Daniel is descended from Jeremiah CARTER and wife Mary UNKNOWN who settled in Chester County, PA, in 1782. Their land became known as Carterville (as per Thos. Maxwell Potts) and/or Cartertown (as per plaque in Carter family cemetery). Karen Carter Minneapolis, MN
