Yes I have Carters in my MALONE lineage. My ggreat-grandmother Emma Malone 1870-1953, moved to Dallas Co. TX, with new husband Charley Smith. Estrange from family because of their marriage, they are rumored to have came from Tenn. or Kentucky. After Charley's death in 1930, Emma married Joe Carter. I believe in Dallas County. Is this a possible connection? E-mail me direct at pamsh@webtv.net. Thanks Pam
