      to me

      1870 Halifax County, VA census
      Stephens, Lewis age 19 b. NC (Stevens on marriage record)
      Mary age 24 b. VA
      Carter, Mary age 5 b. VA

      1880 Pittsylvania County, VA census
      Stephens, Lewis age 29 b. NC
      Mary age 27 b. VA
      Stephens.Louvina age 15 b. VA daughter

      Believe that Mary Carter age 5 is Louvina Stephens age 15. In both census' Lewis would have been 14 when she was born.

    1. [S160] Correspondence.
      E-mail from Connie Spring:
      Callie (3rd child) b. 1853 married Thomas O. Carter on December 11, 1871 in Caswell County. His parents- Richard Carter & Catherine Carter. Her parent Mother "Sally". no father's name. (I am guessing of course, but I suspect that she eloped with him since she was 17/18 and he was 44/45.
      They moved around a lot. In the 1880 census, Thomas is shown as age 53 and Callie is 28. John 7 was born in TN; James 4 born in Georgia; Robert 1, born in North Carolina and the daughter born later in Kentucky. The daughter Lucy married her first cousin Walter Carter s/o James T. and wife Caroline. In the 1880 census Callie is shown C. Carter and in the census (1870) it looks like her name is Caralee or something similar. 1860 census Sally (Callie) age 7; 1870 census Caralee age 17, and 1880 census C. L. age 28. The marriage is recorded in Family/Search
