Redmond married Patience Pace in 1818 in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana. Patience was born before 1800; died before 1825. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Married:
They reportedly had three children prior to her death. (Casagranda)

Notes:

Moved to St. Tammany Parish, LA about 1810. In the 1850 Sabine Parish Louisiana with Added Family Information by Kathy Casagranda, she writes that William Carter was from Halifax County, North Carolina. Karen Carter Garcia, a descendant from Jasper, Texas writes that he was from Jackson County, Georgia, and was the son of Solomon Carter, also of Jackson County, Grandson of Samuel and Rebecca Carter of Edgecombe County, NC and great-grandson of Solomon Carter of Virginia. (Karen Carter Garcia, Route 8, Box 824, Jasper, Texas 75951; kgarcia@inv.net) Leatha Betts shows the same lineage, but lists all his forebearers as being from Edgecombe County, North Carolina. She notes that he left deeds in Jackson County, Georgia 1794-1795 as did Solomon Strickland. His children were mentioned in the deeds.

The book, SABINE COUNTY HISTORICAL SKETCHES AND GENEALOGICAL RECORDS, also shows a Parthenia Carter, wife of Elias Impson, as a daughter of "Wm. and Mary Carter, and believed to a desc. of Isaac Carter, Rev. soldier." Mrs. Blanche Finley Toole, coauthor of that book, told me that his descent from Isaac was just speculation.

Wm. and Mary Carter were also not likely the parents of Parthenia Carter as they were (1) dead prior to 1850, the date of birth of Parthenia and (2) even if still alive, much too old.

William married Mary (Molly\Polly) Cotton Strickland about 1790 in Amite County, Mississippi. Mary (daughter of Solomon Strickland and Amey Pace) was born on 1 Jul 1767 in Nash County, North Carolina; died after 1820 in Pike County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The children of William and Mary Strickland Carter can be proven, in part, by gifts that were made to them by their family. The below listed DEED OF GIFT was made by Solomon Strickland (son of Solomon and Amy Strickland) to his sisters children, ath the approximate time of his departure from the Jackson-Elbert County area that later became Madison County, GA. It was contributed to the STRICKLAND SCENE newsletter (Vol 4, No 4, Fourth Quarter 1983) by Lily Carter Thurman:
