Vonda, Sorry I'm so slow in catching your note. I have a marriage date for this couple (Mary & Wlm Overstreet in Stone Co, Mo. I don't show her with a previous marriage. and don't see anything in my files that match your Johnson/Carter tie. Have you checked in Lawrence Co? Guess I'm not much help on this one , either!
