Mike, Please get in touch. Elizabeth Alice Marcus was a 1st cousin 3x removd. I am also working on this family but have had some serious reservations about what I have found on the internet. I would like to discuss with someone else who is working on this family. Regards, from sunny Northern California, Bill Huckaby ============ I am researching information on the family of Joseph Edgar Carter born in 1870. Son of William CARTER and Elizabeth MUSGRAVES. Joseph married Elizabeth Allis Marcus (was previously married to BALES) on 11/18/1884 in White County, IL. I know of two children: John Franklin CARTER (b. 1/16/1890 d. 3/30/1976) Pearl CARTER (b. 7/4/1892 d. 11/15/1972). Any information would be greatly appreciated. Mike Clemmons
