Looking for primary evidence of the parentage of Elbert Sell CARTER b) 16 Mar 1835, Union, OH d) 18 Apr 1909, St; Louis, MO. We have his parents as Levi CARTER and Elizabeth ORAHOOD. Both parents died in Peoria, IL, Levi (1876) and Elizabeth (1860-70). Elbert Sell CARTER was married to Emaline Gillet in Peoria, IL (27 Aug 1856). We can't seem to find a census record or anything else with Elbert as the child of Levi and Elizabeth, except the probate record of Levi's estate. In that document, his name is spelled "Albert" which brings it into question. His name is also spelled "Albert" on the 1860 IL census, where he is found with wife Emaline and son, Levi. Even an obituary or newspaper article, farm census, school or church record, would be helpful. Anyone have any ideas? Barb
