Surnames: Carter, Boatright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ncB.2ACE/195.206.820.1 Message Board Post: Sandra-- Joseph Carter who married Mary Boatright was born 1837, died 1918, so do not believe he is father of David Adam Carter born 1852. A more likely possibility would seem to be Joseph's oldest brother Adam, born 1829, died in Union prison camp in Columbus OH in 1865. (My gggrandfather ws their middle brother Charles born 1833).
