Notes:

In December, 2001, Bobby Carter posted, on the Carter Family Genealogy Forum at Genforum:

"My, and others, research shows (not totally proven) that Allen Alexander was one of about five children born to Jacob Carter (born about 1799, South Carolina, died abt 1844 Lauderdale Co, MS), and Sarah (LNU).

Allen Alexander Carter was probably born in Barnwell District, South Carolina, about 1810, and migrated with the family to MS about 1812/1813. Apparently this Carter line did not settle in Georgia.

Allen Alexander Carter was an early settler in Clarke Co, MS, and was enumerated in the 1840, 1850, and 1860 census in Clarke Co, MS.

Allen's mother was enumerated in his household in the 1850 census, but must have died before 1860 as she was not enumerated in his household then.

Allen's older brother Patrick died about 1859 and one of Patrick's sons (I think it was Jacob) was enumerated in Allen's household in 1860.

Allen Alexander Carter married Sarah McLemore. Allen Alexander Carter (probably displaced by the Civil War), wife, and some of the younger children migrated to Texas by about 1866. The last I have been able to locate on Allen Alexander Carter (listed as 80) and Sarah is that they were enumerated in the 1880 census in Lampasas Co, TX."

Bobby also provided a list of their children, along with the estimated years of birth of each.

They were said to be the parents of William Carter b. 8 Oct 1835, Ellen Carter b. 1837, Amos Carter b. 1839, killed in service of Co. D, 14 Mississippi Infantry Regiment, C.S.A., Jacob Junis Carter Sr. b. 25 jan 1841, Melvina Mildred Carter b. 1843, Sarah Carter b. 1845, Casinda Carter b. 1849, Hansford Barnwell Carter Sr. b. 25 Jun 1851, Lebbus Griffin Carter b. 13 Jan 1856, Leonidas Carter b. 1857, and Louisa Lula Carter b. 1859.

Some of these children moved to Texas, Jacob dying in Brown County and Hansford in Abilene, Taylor County, and Lebbus in Freestone County.

Bobby Carter went out to the Nabors Cemetery in Mills County, Texas on February 11, 2000 and wrote the following;

"I don't recommend anyone going out there to look for folks not listed on your list as they won't find them. The only other option would be a week clean up detail for a few people, but I doubt any new readable stones would surface then. I didn't find my folks, nor did I "ever feel like I was in their presence. The search goes on."

Bobby is looking for Great Great Grandparents Allen Alexander Carter (1810-188+) and Sarah McLemore Carter (1819-188+) Allen Alexander (70) and Sarah (62) McLemore Carter were on the 1880 Lampasas census, but have not been found in any Lampasas cemetery.

Notes:

According to the Probate Record for the Estate opf Thomas A. FONTAINE, State of Mississippi, Clarke County, on June 1, 1846, it was "Ordred by the Court that Amos McLemore, William Covington and John Atkinson be appointed appraisers of all and singular the goods, chattels and personal estate of Thomas A. Fontaine, dec'd."

Amos married Elizabeth Johnston about 1820. Elizabeth was born on 15 Feb 1802 in South Carolina; died on 31 Jul 1881 in Clarke County, Mississippi; was buried in McLemore Cemetery, Middleton, Clarke County, Mississippi. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Some researchers show her as the daughter of Caleb Hill and Mary Flynt, and the sister of Nancy Perry Hill, who married Amos's brother, Richard McLemore. Others show her as Elizabeth Hill Johnson or Johnston, with their marriage taking place in Giles County, Tennessee. The Rev. William McLemore shows that according to correspondence and DAR records submitted to him by Joyce Sentell of Mobile, Alabama in 1996, her maiden name was Johnson. In May, 2008, Rev. Bill emailed that "An e-mail from a Ron Henson, 12 Feb 1998 says her surname was Johnston. She was born 15 Feb 1802 and died 31 July 1881. Their children were Albert Gallatin 1825, Richard, Caleb, John b. 1831, Catherine b. 1832, Nancy b. 1838, Elvira and Bettie. Harry McLemore of Jackson, MS, wrote me, "Amos lived in Clarke Co., in 1850. He later moved to Lauderdale Co. near Meridian and one time he lived in Copiah County."

Notes:

Married:
They are also shown by some researchers to be the parents of Sara McLemore, born 1819 and married a CARTER and Mary McLemore, born 1822 Lawrence County, Mississippi. This would fit with the 1830 census, which shows that the family had five girls under the age of 15 at that time.
