Letter from  Nora Lee and Dan Stone

Dear Virginia

We were so disappointed over not seeing your girls, since we have been there twice and failed to see you.  I feel you and Dallas owe it to us to come here some week end soon.  You know when Dan came to Grayson 46 years ago their was on old colored man who was a slave of the Carters from Virginia, and Dan found out a few connections from him, since his mother had told him that his two Uncles, Grayson and Bill Carter had come from Va to Ky and settled here, since this all connected up with the information the Negro man gave Dan-pr? to be that Grayson was named for this great uncle and Carter Co.  the name also from this family.  There is a real old lady- Miss Heba Carter

 who lives in Ashland, quite wealthy and no direct relatives.  You might come down and go see her

and get quite a bit of history from her and you might prove to be an heir.  Jim Stones, has quite a disire to talk to her, so he will go with you.  I have tired so many times to get Dan interested in her.  He is not interested in background and history.  This lady is a native of this county and up to a couple of years back , her distant relatives lived here.  Dan says he remembers his grandmother Cox and that is all.

Why couldn't Nannie give out some finformation on this side of the family.  If you would drive down here you and Dan could drive to Nannie in a day from here.  She and her family are quite prosperous from all appearance.  They stopped by to see us last year on their way to the west coast driving a Cadillac.  We had a wonderful trip, drove 300 miles up in Canada.  I could have stayed up there forever.  The cleanses most beautiful country-flowers, trees,shrubs were beautiful.  We had planned to stay several days up there so Dan began to worry about getting back this way.  We came through W. Virginia. We were so disgusted with this drive. Nothing to see and roads are terrible.  Accommodations very poor. We found your home without any trouble, and I like it and the surroundings are beautiful.  We have a new home 2 years old and it takes forever to get flowers and trees, started and at our age we are not get to see them mature .Please come before Dan gets much older.You will enjoy him................etc

Notes for BETTIE CARTER:

Bettie Carter and Moses where first Cousins.  Her father was Thomas who lived in Henry Co. Va.

They tried to hide this fact for many years. Bettie even used the name Brogan, which we don't know where that came from.  Jamie Woods Beecham told this story.

On how they meet , one story goes like this:  After the war, the brothers settled their differences. All of Cary's family fought for the South and he fought for the North.   So Thomas decided to come for a 2 week visit, During the two weeks, Bettie and Moses decided to marry and they did. This was told by Robin Choate, who said that Aunt Betty and her Mother Myrtle told this story.

Another verison I heard was that Cary went and visited and got sick and Bettie took him back home to Kentucky, and she meet Moses and she never left to go back home.

It also goes that he went to Virginia right after the war, went blind and Bettie took him home.  With her being born in 1868, we know that this story couldn't be true.

Marriage Notes for MOSES CARTER and BETTIE CARTER:

Died of a stroke;

Before her death, Bettie Carter, by faith in God had stated many times that when she died a Dove would come to take her spirit home.  When she was dying, a crowd was gathered, and as she took her final breath a Dove sat and cooed on the open window sill.

The fact is why Bettie Carter's tombstone was purchased with a dove on it.

Moses and Betty operated a  store and Moses was the Post-Master for the community.  The name of the post office was "Iona".  In later years the post office was in the front left room of the home of Moses and Bettie. Older people of the area who conducted their business with Bettie all said she was quite, honest, and professional.  This house was built by Bert Carter shortly before his tragic death, with money earned while in the navy. The house is owed by Jackie Templin Benz

Notes for WILLIAM HARRY CARTER:

Another story about Pappy was that he come home drunk one time and started to pick on Nora his wife.  She was so mad, that he took a hoe to him and beat the living _____out of him.   The story also goes, that she was out hoeing when he came home and he snuck up behind her, taking a stick and rubbing it on her leg like it was a snake crawling up her leg. She screamed, and took her hoe and beat him over the head with it.

Note*  There are rumors about another Carter child that was born in Hamilton Ohio.  Pappy stayed up here and worked.   Bertha told mom that when she lived on Albany St. in a half double that he was messing around with the woman next door.  Pappy also stayed with Betty in Hamilton.

Death was result of an auto accident.   His mother Bettie, had stated may times that a Dove came to her shortly before word of his death.
