I do not have any information on this family. I am still not convinced that Caleb Cartee is the father of Ransom Carter. There are others that believe this. The 1850 and 1860 census of Spartanburg, shows a Ransom in the Caleb household; however, it would have him being born in 1838. My Ransom definitely was born in 1844, as shown in all later census records, his death certificate, obits and headstone. I found a Ransom Carter in the 1860 Union Co., NC census which shows him being born in SC in 1844. He was a farm laborer in another families household. I have not been able to track this back to a father in SC. Thanks for all of your help - perhaps Pendleton District will show something. Sally
