    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.

      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.
