Okay, it's finally dawning on me that those descendants of Frederick Carter on this list who have contacted me have sent me very similar lists of children for Frederick, and they have each said that they've never heard of him having a son named Solomon. (I have had way too much work and e-mail this month, and I hadn't read everything closely enough.) That being the case, I'm searching for a new father for Solomon again. I hope I was not too rude before; I just had it set in my mind that the list I had found at familysearch.org had some validity. At the moment I'm interested in checking out a John Carter who was 50-60 for the 1830 Wilson Co. census, had 1 son 15-20 and 7 younger kids. Solomon would have been about 17 in 1830. As far as I can tell, this particular John does not seem to have been living in Wilson Co. in 1840, so I'm wondering if he died at some point after he (or some John Carter) served as the bondsman at Solomon's wedding in 1834. How could I go about finding out if there was a will filed for a John Carter in Wilson Co. between 1834 and 1840ish? (For the 1840 census, Solomon was living near an Alexander Carter in Rutherford Co., and after that he moved to Kentucky.)

Direct your inquiry to the Wilson County Archives: http://www.wilsoncountytn.com/archives.htm So ask about a will or administration. You would prefer that there was no will, because then the administration of the estate must enumerate ALL the heirs. A will need not. Good luck. Myron E.
