Sallie Carter was born April 19, 1857 and died June 9, 1931. I am interested in any information concerning her. She was married to Montigh Boley Edwards, the son of James Edwards and Elvira Boley. Montigh Boley Edwards was born in Halifax Co., Va., November 18, 1850 and died January 28, 1922, Lunenburg Co., Va. Gravemarkers in the "Edwards Family Cemetery," Lunenburg Co., Va., include: Edwards, Montigh Boley 1850-1922 Edwards, Sallie Carter 1857-1931 Edwards, C.B. 1843-1906 (Christopher B.) Edwards, Mary G. 1845-1909 (Mary G. Powell, wife of C.B. Edwards shown above.) Edwards, Connie 1891-1892 Sallie Carter is the d/o Green Carter and Mary Ann Powell [S10] R.W. Ryan. Thanks to Raymond W. Ryan, Jr. Marriage Bond Date; they were married on January 15, 1829. In closing, I am available, if needed, for any further questions in regard to OUR ncestors & kin! Possibly the 1870 Halifax County Census was taken on or before April 1870, the month and year that James Edwards died, because after that date widow Elvira Boley Edwards had moved in with her daughter and son-in-law as shown on the 1870 Census of Cecil County, Md. 'age 63 widow.' Not unusual as my gggrandmother, Elizabeth Coghill Liggan (widow of Robert) is shown with her children on both the 1850 censuses of New Kent County and Henrico County.
