My grandmother had mentioned to me some years ago now of her Uncle Penney. Later I found a Penfield Carter as a brother of her father, Hiram Lee Carter, in the census records. And just 2 years ago I found that Penney had moved to,lived and died in Hopkinsville, Ky. He married to Annie Word in 1880 and they had 4 children: Florence Bennie Carter (b. 1884) who md. Stephen E. Everett, they had 1 daughter Anna Florence Everett who married Otto Fish. Katie Mae Carter (1891-1978) who md. A. F. Wortham, no children Martha Ann Carter (1897-1972), never md. Houston Carter (1902-1984) who md. Mary Helen Butler, they had children. If you are related to these people please e-mail me. Thank you. God bless, Beth

I have no information on Penfield C. Carter, except that in the 1880 Christian Co. Census he was a boarder and farm laborer in the home of H. E. Major. The adjoining house is Albert E. Word, the brother of Anna B. Word. P. C. Carter and Anna Word were married on Dec. 28, 1880 in the home of her brother A. E. Word. They are both buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Hopkinsville, KY. I do have a information on the Word family, if you are interested, and I would like to know the parents of P. C. Carter and his siblings. Dot Davie -
