CARTER, BOZEMAN, BENSON, BENTLEY, WEATHERS There are several CARTERs who I believe are mine who migrated from Wilkes/Lincoln Cos., GA. Samuel CARTER may have been one the early flock of Baptist who came with Rev. KING and started Mt. Nebo Church. He was already residing in Wilkinson Co. when he drew land in Wilkinson in the 1807 lottery. Joel CARTER also drew land in Wilkinson 1807, but it appears from the survey that he didn't stake his claim. Richard & Joseph BENSON also won land in the 1807 lottery. Samuel, Abner, John & Joel are in the Insolvent Tax List, Lincoln Co., for 1807, suggesting their move. I believe their land in Wilkinson must have been in a part that later became Twiggs as these CARTERs and their siblings are in the 1818 Twiggs Co. Tax Digest: Samuel, Abner, Stephen, John, Joel. Several are in Cpt. BOZEMAN's District--sister Amy married Etheldred BOZEMAN. John CARTER married Zilpha BENSON, Jan. 1807, in Lincoln Co. Later, in Jones Co., GA, John CARTER's son, Joel Jr. would marry Amelia Ann BENTLEY, and his dau. would marry Samuel BENTLEY in Crawford Co., GA. John's family would move to Crawford Co., GA, abt. 1820, where they followed the Primitive Baptist faith--Samuel BENTLEY was a preacher at Mt. Prim. Bapt. Church there, John CARTER an ordained deacon. I believe my CARTERs descend from the CARTERs of Laurens Co., SC, but I need proof and need to know who the above CARTERs' parents are. John was born 1780, Samuel 1783, Abner 1788, Stephen ?, Amy 1792, Joel ?--may be a brother or the father?--all born SC. Elizabeth 1800, Mary 1802--born GA. So I guess parents would have been born abt. 1760 or before either in SC or VA. I descend from John CARTER. I would like to correspond with anyone who has info on any of the above families, Mt. Nebo Church, etc. Thank you, Cynthia CARTER DYER
