      Nancy Carter Brooks As I promised, I will post the children of Cary Lafayette Carter, Sr. b. 1787 or 1794 m. Mahala Lewis [ 1793 - ? ] on 15 Jan 1812. Children as follows; The order may be wrong as I don't have all birth dates. 1. James Madison Carter, b. 1822 - ? 2. Nancy Carter b. 1827, 3. Kathleen b. 1828 4. Lucinda b. 1833 - ? M. George Rea. 5. Cary Lafayette Carter, Jr b. 1834 m. Mary Jane Sprivey d. 17 Feb. 1892 in Laurel Co. KY. 6. George Washington Carter m. Elizabeth ? 7. Delilia m. 1839 Ellison Dillon. 8. Thomas Jefferson Carter, m. Jane Ann Lewis. 9. William Philmore Carter [ I wondered if this should be Filmore ? ] 10. John Carter 11. Edward Henry Carter b. 06 Jan 1833 or 1835 m. Margaret Elizabeth Hardy d. 27 Nov 1901. I did not research this family but received it from a Carter DNA match and it is her research and her main line family. Since we are a 100% match we know we are connected back in the 1800's.
