OUTLINE OF DESCENDANTS OF JOHN CARTER I

 

Showing cousins after Joel Miles Carter & Valentine Newton Carter

& something about them

 

(Main sources:  my own research, email from Barbara Baker, 

and Sylvia L. Brooks’ book, Abraham Carter: His Kith and Kin )

 

  1     JOHN CARTER I, b. 1720-30 and is “from”  NJ, d. 1811 in Greene Co. TN. May have had brothers who

                emigrated with him from NJ to TN: Caleb, Joseph, and Levi. (Levi was born in Wales). Owned parcels of

                land  on Lick Creek. We have the inventory of his estate taken by Daniel Carter on Tuesday, January

                28, 1812; the sale was held on Feb 7, 1812; the report was written April 27, 1812; final settlement on

                Oct 26, 1814 by Daniel with court acceptance on Aug 27, 1814. This estate sale is what we use to

                establish John’s death date in 1811.
