``John Carter``, son of my last wife.
Note: Joe. is adding sons of his last wife, Richard and John Carter.
So it appears our John W Carter mother remarried after their father death, their father Joseph Carter death is noted in records which show Joseph and sons John and Richard are descendant of Giles Carter.

If other J W Carter researcher have put his family together and this is incorrect please feel free to fill me in. I a descentant of John W Carter and Esther Midget and been trying to put the Carters together for 10yrs now. But I think I have the right ones.
And a note here: Our family legend is Louisa Carter m Wiley Wray daugher of John and Esther was Cherokee. I find it very interesting the Cherokee Randel, Molton,Fredrick Carterswho were living Halifax NC went to Wilson Tn as well and are living by the Carters and Wrays.
So what do you guys think?? Am I finally on the right track?
