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.
