Gertrude Carter Nelson Co Va m Richard Stinnett
I posted earlier but thought I had better give a little more Info.
Gertrude Carter b 1877 in Nelson Co daughter of Joshua and Delia McCraw Carter of Nelson Co. Joshau's parents were Thomas S and Eliza Ann Moore. Thomas's father was Shadrack Carter.
Gretrude and Richard married about 1900. I haven't been able to find a marriage date yet. Richard Stinnett was the son of Richard Dewey and Mary Jane Carter Stinnett. Richard Dewey's parents were Richard Dewey Sr and Elizabeth Clements Stinnett of Amherst Co.
Mary Jane Carter's parents were Joseph and Belsora (Sally)
Lavender of Amherst Co. Sally's parents were Allen Lavender and Elizabeth Blair Stratton. Nancy Ann Carter below married
Allen and Elizabeth Lavenders son, Winston Blair.
I have been unable to locate Joseph's parents. Nancy Ann Carter b abt 1792 daughter of Shadrack married twice. 1st to Lewis Laine and 2nd to Winston Blair.
This is the reason I believe my Joseph Carter comes from the Shadrack Carter line. I believe he may have been born out of wedlock since he is not mentioned by any of the Carter's. Joseph Carter and Sally's daughter Mary Jane b 1838 Amherst married Richard Stinnett 1854 in Botetourt Co.
Their daughter Emma Elizabeth Stinnett b 1861 in Boteoturt Co was Indian. I beleive the Indian came through the Carter's. It is possible some came from other ancestors.
Until this week I had no clue where Joseph Carter came from.
It seems likely that it is through the Nelson Co Carter's as Gretrude Carter who married Richard Stinnett was from the Nelson Co Carter's. The Richard Stinnett she married was the son of Richard and Mary Jane Carter Stinnett.
Delia and her son Joshua Carter were living with Richard and Gertrude Stinnett in the 1920 Census in Goochland Co.
In 1930 they are back in Nelson Co.
In the 1900 census Richard Sr and Mary Jane Carter Stinnett were living with Richard and Gertrude. In 1910 Mary Jane has died. Richard Sr was 81 in the 1910 census. He died before 1920 and Delia and Joshua are living with them.
Richard and Gertrude moved to Goochand when he took a job with the Rail Road. Richard Sr & Mary Jane were in Rockbridge in the 1880 census.
Richard and Gertrude had the followpng children..........
