    2. James Majors
    3. I visited my parents' grves this wekend in Est View Cemetery in Zebulon and while there walked around most of the cemetery. My mother was Ruby Carreker Majors, wife of T.A.Jack Majors, Jr. and dau. of Edward Jackson and Maude Carreker of Concord and the granddaughter of William Alexander and Laura T. Wright Carreker of Merriwether Co., GA. I know there were a couple of distant cousins in Pike County before the Civil War, but they spelled the name Carriker. These families moved on to AL shortly after the war. I found a number of markers contaiing the name of Carreker, most born in the late 1800s, and wonder if any of you might have more information on these individuals in your files. First, I found the grave of Mary Loisa Baker Carreker, dau of Col. John H. & Louesa A. Baker, and wife of Jacob P. Carreker. She b. 8/8/1857, died 10/1/1887. There is an Ouida Carreker Mullins, b 10/2/1882, d 6/9/1927 buried beside her husband Spencer Brady Mullins. There is a Lena Carreker Reeves buried beside her husband W. J. Reeves. She b 6/26/183, d 10/27/1908. George McDowell Carreker, b 12/29/1859, died 3/5/1931 is buried beside his wife Sarah Scoggin Carreker, b 12/27/1859, d 5/19/1931. Also in the same family plot is a Lemma Connell Carreker, b 8/10/1895, d 7/21/1960. Finally, there is an Emma Roe Carreker Mathews, b 11/23/1880, d 4/14/1962, buried beside her husband John Marion Mathews, b 9/25/1880, died 1/1/1942. James Majors
