Subject: [GABUTTS-L] Carter Family -- Butts & Monroe Counties
Date: Mon, 28 Sep 1998 19:16:44 -0500


Greetings,

I am hoping to fill some blanks in my information about the following
family, my 3d great grandparents:

Per the 1860 Monroe County Census:

Carter, Joseph, age 75, born Va?
Carter, Martha (nee Martha Ann Caroline Benson), age 29, born Ga.

Their children:

Mary, age 11; Joseph, age 9; J. W., age 7; Martha, age 5; my
gg. grandfather Charles Richard, age 4; Sarah, age 1.

Also in the household were two folks in their 90s (!): A. & Sarah
Willoughby, both born NC, and R. Vawter, age 17(?).

I am searching for any information on the death dates and burial
places of these people, or of the forebears of Joseph Carter and
Martha Benson. Mr. Carter, apparently something of a cradle
robber, married Miss Benson on 4 Dec. 1847, I believe in Butts
County. He was about 60. She was 16 :-)

Thanks for any help you may offer.
