Una (Eunice) Carter

1793 - 1870  (76 years)

• Name	Una (Eunice) Carter  [1, 2, 3]
  Birth	24 Sep 1793	Louisiana   [4, 5, 6]
  Gender	Female
  Death	6 Jun 1870	Sabine County, Texas   [5]
  Notes	IGI Records show that Una Carter married Amaziah Vardeman in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana on 12 December 1815. The couple moved north to Mississippi sometime after their marriage, as all three of their daughters were born here. A woman named "Uny Massy" can be found in Pike County, Mississippi in 1840 (Microfilm #704). Ronald Vern Jackson's index to this census references page 152. It appears that the reference should have been to pg 297, which is what is actually stamped at the top of the microfilm as a guide. The census listing indicates this was a household made up entirely of females. There was one female between the ages of 10-15, two between ages 15 and 20, one between 20 and 30, and one between 40 and 50. Living with them as well was a female slave, who was somewhere between 26 and 56 years of age. It appears that Una might have actually had four daughters, and not just the three currently listed. Una's oldest known daughter, Polly, became 20 years old in 1840. Her youngest known daughter, Jemimah, reached age 15 the same year. This means that either of them might have been classified into two age categories. Therefore gauging the age of a fourth daughter is especially difficult. She could have been born prior to Polly, or after Jemimah. She might even have been a daughter by Una's second husband. At the time of the 1850 Sabine Parish Louisiana, Una was living alone in dwelling #304, between her daughters Jemimah Amazia Vardeman White and Ann Vardeman White. She is listed in the transcription of the Sabine Parish census prepared by Kathy Casagranda as Unas Massa age 57, M (sic), born in Louisiana. On the 1860 Sabine County Census, she is living with her daughter Jimimah, and son in law John Reagan White (Household 118). This is next door to Henry Strickland White and his wife Mary Etta Vardeman. On that transcription, she is shown as Una Massa, age 66, F, born North Carolina.

  Family 2	??? Massey,   b. Bef 1793   d. Bef 1840 (Age 47 years)
  Marriage	Bef 1840  [7]
  	It appears that the widowed or divorced Una Carter Vardeman married a Mr. Massey sometime after 1825 but before 1840. It further appears that Mr. Massey died or otherwise left Una prior to 1840. This is based on the birth of Una's daughter Jemimah Amazia Vardeman in 1825, and the 1840 Pike County, Mississippi census, which lists her "Uny Massy." Una can be found as the head of a household consisting solely of females in Pike County, Mississippi in 1840.
