      William Presley Carter, 1810, married Jane Conway Gass (d/o Mary Collins Moyer and Rev Andrew Powell Gass) in 1830 and had 9 kids (John Quincy Adams, Andrew P, George Wm, Catharine N, Margaret E, Samuel Thomas, Sarah, Joseph R & Jame Malone) all in Dandridge, Jefferson, Tennessee. His family starts migrating to Bonham, Fannin, Texas about 1855. He is in Strawberry Plains, Knox, Tn in 1860 and makes it to Bonham Texas in 1870. He dies in Whitewright, Texas in 1895.

      "While in Tennessee his neighbors are Pascal, Peyton & Oney Carter. A Presley Carter who died in 1840 is buried in Dandridge. Logically he should be related to them. Yet, none of his children or descendants are named Pascal, Peyton, Henrietta, Stewart, Thornton or Oney. The names that keep repeating in his family are Presley, George, William, Joseph, Samuel, Catherine and Anne. Also, while both Presley Carter and Pascal are supposed to have sons named William, his 1810 birth date is a problem". ** Mary Jane
      The mother of Jane Gass is Mary Polly Collins. Her father and grandfather were named John. There is a John Collins that shows up in one of these Carter's deed's. Mary Polly Collins is buried close to the gravestone for the Presley Carter that died in 1840 in Dandridge. Peyton Carter first married Elizabeth Eudaley, she died and he married her sister Lucinda in 1835. A Mrs Elizabeth Carter died in 1835 and is buried in the same cemetery. I think that she is Peyton's first wife.
