Found Thomas Carter age 26 in the 1880 Jones Co Census living with his parents Asa (b MS parent's born GA) and ?Lucy Carter (b SC as well as parents). I do know the family lived within a mile of the Covington/Jones line. Other children listed are ?Asa, Susan, Margaret, Lucy and W B. There is another Carter family living in the next household that I am guessing is also a child of Asa and Lucy. They are listed by initials only.
