My great-grandfather definitely went by Ransom CARTER. I found Ransom in both the 1850 and 1860 Spartanburg census - To me the 1850 is spelled Carter. I believe the 1860 does also - however, the print out that I have is sorta small - could be Cartee. On all family data that I can find on the web Ransom is not listed as a child even though he his shown on both census records. Ransom went on to Prentiss Co., MS sometime between 1860 and 1863 since he was in the Civil War from that part of MS. In 1873 he married (in Prentiss Co., MS) Roxanna Elizabeth Tucker. After a few years they went on to Hunt and Fannin Countie in Texas .Do you know if there was ever a probate of Caleb Cartee's estate. Perhaps Ransom was mentioned and where he lived. If you live in Spartanburg perhaps you would know where I could look up that information. Thanks for replying so soon. Sally Pohl spohl1@centurytel.net
