      Mary Clement Stonewall Jackson Carter was my Great-Grandfather. James Jackson Carter was my Grandfather and his son, Ewell, was my Father. They were in Whitfield, Gordon, and Floyd counties. Mary Clement Yes, we must be! My Dad did not know much about his family. His Dad, James Jackson, lost his Mother, Amanda Miller, when he was about 8 years old. His Dad, Stonewall Jackson, married again and had another family. My Dad did not know his Father's half siblings. Therefore I grew up not knowing much about his family. Anything you can share with me about James J. Carter (1822-1910) would be much appreciated.
      Mary Clement So, your Grandmother was Stonewall Jackson's half-sister.
      Donald AndNancy Pinnell Yes. They also had Annie Carter- born 1876 married Thomas Gaston and a Gazaway, and James Robert "Bud" Carter born 1881. On one census I found he had a daughter Laura?
      Donald AndNancy Pinnell James J Carter lived in Sugar Valley, Gordon Co. Ga in 1880 census. Laura was older. They have Stonewall listed as Jackson A. Carter. It wasn't until I got my DNA that I found he was my grandmothers 1/2 brother.
      Mary Clement
      Mary Clement I have not had mine done but my brother and I plan to. I have a question for you and then, I will leave you alone for now. Stonewall died when he was 49 years old. My Dad's sister and brother died young, one with a heart attack and the other with a stroke. The rest of the siblings died with circulatory diseases as well. Was this prevalent in your family? When you had your DNA done, did you find out whether our Carters came from England?
