      Here is some information that may help someone on this line I have Wilson Carter married to Sarah Davis in Cumberland Co. Dec 2 1815. Sarah Davis's parents were Jesse Davis and Elizabeth Guthrey (Guthrie) I also have seen listed that he was married to a Mary Taylor but I have not seen a marriage date or place. Below is some info on at least one Child and Wilson Carter and then info on some of his cousin's the Brooklyn Carter's were probably in the same area as Tarleton Woodson's Brooklyn plantation in Prince Edward County.
