Dear Lists, Sorry if you get a repeated message due to subscribing to several lists, as I do. I thought I had seen on a list a long time ago, that the names Carter and Stiltner were used as one in the same as last names. Depending on what last name the person wanted to use. Something to that effect. Can anyone verify the relationship of the two names and maybe where each originated? For example: My gggrandfather was Milbourn Jackson Stiltner. His daughter Pricy(My ggrandmother) was recognized in an obit as a survivor of relation as Pricy Carter. I have not found any information confirming the Carter relationship to her. I am pretty positive she was only married to my ggrandfather Lee Anderson Arthur. Her mother was Martha Woods. Could Carter have come from that side. What I was told before was something to the fact that Some used the Stiltner name and some used the Carter name. Milbourn Jackson Stiltner was born somewhere in VA. and Martha Woods was born somewhere in KY. I'm not sure where Pricy was born. I was told recently that Lee was born possibly in ! Lewis County, WV. (Or VA) His mother Mary Margaret Arthur was born in Bath Co., VA. I have no record of her ever being married. My ggrandfather was half Indian. The picture I have recently seen pretty much proves that due to his complexion and other features. At the time he was born though there were several tribes in the area. Any suggestion regarding any of the above mentioned names will be greatly appreciated!!! Anything even if you don't think it is important might help in my search. Thank you in advance!
