I am researching my GGGrandfather John Carter who died in Tippah County, Mississippi in 1850. His wife was Catherine and all leads point to Lincoln County Tennessee as his prior residence prior to moving to Tippah County sometime between 1840 and 1850. John was born in North Carolina. One of his sons was James S. Carter, my GGrandfather who was born in Tennessee in 1837. He died in Tippah County in 1903. The 1820 census has a John Carter in Lincoln County and I suspect he is my GGGrandfather. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
