But I think they might have been Littleton H. Carter, b. 1809, Mecklenburg County, VA, d. 10/4/1882, IL and Matilda Beasley, b. 1816, KY. This couple appears on the 1860, 1870, and 1880 census data for Franklin County, IL, along with daughter, Amanda, b. abt. 1850 and son, Don, b. abt. 1853. Don is not on the 1880 census but Amanda still is. I thought this might be his parents but wasn't sure until you listed Don's firstborn son as William Littleton Carter. Did you look under the family trees and find the information relating to Martha Jane Walls? If you can't do this, let me know and I will tell you what appears there. Kim
