I have never found either parent's name, so you have more information than I in that respect. His wife lived for a very long time - many of my great aunts and uncles knew her and visited her home in Troy. They all lived in south Alabama. But because he died so young and none of them knew him, I guess perhaps information about him was lost. May I ask what member of the family you are related to? I am a descendant of one of James Carter's sons, James Terrell Warren. And my grandfather's (son of James Terrell) name was Joseph, so there is some reason to believe that Joseph might well have been a family name. I'd be glad to copy the military records for you (what I have are copies also, of course). They are sketchy, and few, but interesting in that you can certainly see a sad pattern of his being ill.
