  • Notes 
    • Margaret Elizabeth Carter was born near Dandridge, Jefferson County, Tennessee. She was enumerated in the 1850 Census, Knox County, Tennessee, Strawberry Plains community, in her father's household. She came to Texas with her parents and siblings in 1859 and lived in Bonham, Grayson County. After the Civil War, she married a widower, William Anderson Routh, whose first spouse had died during the war. Margaret Elizabeth became a stepmother to three young children and had six children of her own. Her first baby was stillborn or died shortly after birth. The last baby lived about a month. They were buried in the churchyard of the little rural Porter Church where their maternal grandparents and a paternal grandfather were buried. When Margaret Elizabeth died in 1874, she was layed to rest by her babies and near her parents.
