Hi Floyd,
This is a very long shot.I haven't been researching the TN CARTER line very long.Here's what I have:
John Montgomery Carroll (JMC) ROBERTSON, Rev. Methodist married Elizabeth CARTER (abt 1811, TN -- abt 1882, ?).She is the d/o James CARTER (1768, TN -- 1849, Fannin Co., TX) & Pheobe BULLARD (abt 1770, Greene Co., TN -- ??).Pheobe's father, Joseph (1732, NC -- 1788,the Battle of Lookout Mountain).
JMC ROBERTSON (1812, White Co., TN- 1880, Hunt Co., TX) is the s/o Charles S. (we think SEVIER) ROBERTSON & Elizabeth THOMAS.JMC ROBERTSON had a brother Charles with the middle name SEVIER.
JMC ROBERTSON is the great nephew of Keziah ROBERTSON (abt 1759, VA -- abt 1800, TN)She was the wife of Robert SEVIER (abt 1749, VA -- 1780, Battle of King's Mountain).They had two sons, Charles Robertson SEVIER (after her father) and Valentine SEVIER (after his father).
I have a distant EPPERSON connection.
Susannah ROBERTSON (first cousin, once removed of JMC ROBERTSON) m Andrew C. BLACKWOOD (1780 NC or SC -- 1850 Tippah Co., MS), his family was from Greene Co., TN.
Her granddaughter, Almedia Ann BLACKWOOD (1834, Pike Co., AR -- 1909, OK) married Cumberland POLK.
Cumberland POLK's brother, Anderson married Eliza EPPERSON (abt 1827, NC -- ?).Cumberland's sister,Sarah Delaney m George T. EPPERSON, born abt 1827, GA (we think the brother of Eliza).
Please excuse any errors as I have not personally documented all of this information.
