Don Elizabeth Carter was the widow of Thomas I. Carter, my gggrandfather. The 15 year old was my ggrandfather George Washington Carter. THey livedin Russell Co, when GW married he moved to Adair. He married Mary Polly Rayburn daughterof John "Kit" Christopher Rayburn. She was born in Casey Co about 1812. Elizabeth can be found living with daughter Nancy Carter who married Green Acree. I have not been able to prove that John was a brother or uncle of GW. If it is the one I am thinking of he married a Murray who had two daughters. To my knowledge, he did not have children of his own. GW had a son John, my grandfather, born 1835 who married Sarah Jane Janes daughter of Preston Janes in Adair County. His second wife was Florence Tanner (widow)-she diedin childbirth l year after marriage, baby died 3 mos later. 3rd wife was Victoria Bennett fromMetcalfe Co. He was 67 and she 31 when they married and had 4 children. If any of this fits. let me know Sandy
