    4. [S240] Lineage, Cathy Carter - Facebook.
      John Wesley (Bicey?) Carter came with a cousin and his wife from Henrico Co., [Henry] VA in the early /mid 1800's as he was born in 1806 there. He died in Rutherford Co., TN in 1906. He had 2 confirmed wives and a 3rd perhaps. We can account for 18 documented children. We also know he was an overseer on the Mullins farm at Loafers Corner. Not sure if he relates to me (parents are listed as Thomas Carter and Sallie Hawkins)
