My CARTER ancestors were in Wilkinson County beginning about 1807. This area of Wilkinson became Twiggs Co. in 1809. Prior to this they were in Lincoln Co., GA, from about 1797 to 1807, and prior to that they are believed to have been in Laurens Co., SC, from about 1760-80 to 1797. Prior to that they were in Frederick Co. VA 1740-1760/80 (different brothers migrated at different times from VA to SC from 1760-1780). And from about 1680 to 1740 they were in Bucks Co., PA. The CARTERs lived amongst Quakers, but eventually became Baptist as early as late 1790's. When the split came they became Primitive Baptists. James Carter b. abt. 1780 probably England>Benjamin Carter b. abt. 1710> Benj. II b. abt. 1740>John b. 1780 SC>oldest dau. Mary b. Lincoln Co., GA, son. Joel b. either Wilkinson or Twiggs 1810; daus. Amy, Sarah, and Nancy Ann also born in Twiggs Co.; son Henry b. either Twiggs or Crawford Co. abt. 1825. I'm not sure which church they belonged to in Twiggs but they were Baptist and usually served as deacons and clerks for the churches they belonged to. John CARTER's wife was Zilpha BENSON and there were alsos BENSONS in Twiggs Co. John's sister Amy married Etheldred BOZEMAN--there were also BOZEMANs there in the early years. Benjamin I was married to Margaret HOLLINGSWORTH in VA abt. 1736. There were also HOLLINGSWORTHs in Twiggs.d Thank you, Cynthia CARTER DYER PTMACAW@aol.com wrote: > > Hello All! > I would like to WELCOME all the new subscribers.
