I believe this is Henry Conway Carter who married Nancy M. Murphy 20 Jan 1842, Barren Co. KY. The only child I have for them is Samuel A. B. Carter, born 01 Aug 1853, but there certainly could have been others, and probably were. I just haven't gone down that branch. I believe Henry's father to be Joseph Adock Carter, and his mother to be Sarah Carter, daughter of Joseph Sr. Carter and Mary Bell. Sarah is a sister to my husband's Joseph Jr. Carter who had children: Cilen L. Carter b. 1825 m Selia J. M. Shaw Priscilla Carter b. 1828 who remained unmarried until at least 1870 Mary F. Carter b. 1833, and was the first wife of King Hiram Jent and Twins: Philip Penn Carter and Joseph T. "Dode" Carter born 23 Oct 1834. Mary said she was born in Monroe County when she married Hiram Jent in Allen County... I'm thinking county lines moved rather than folks. Philip was married to America Celsor in 1849, Margaret Harris in 1871, and Lastly to a Virginia. My husband's ancestor, Joseph T Carter remained married to Synthia Adaline Shaw, cousin to his brother's wife, Selia. These folks can be found in Allen County, but stayed in the Puncheon area where Barren, Monroe and Allen meet. I merely have a John as a father to Joseph Adcock Carter, but siblings as Joseph Pendleton Carte, Winny Ann Carter and William Brockman Carter.
