Hi Loretta! I know this doesn't have much to do with your POST for the Carothers family, however, I research the COSTNER families of the Southeast. Wondering where you guys fit into the COSTNER families? Please email me and let me know the connection. EMAIL at kenorris@bellsouth.net Keith E. Norris Charlotte, NC COSTNER Family Researcher PS: I may be able to help on the Carrothers line if more info is provided for dates of Birth/Death and locations of residence during life.
