Looking for info on George Washington Carter born abt 1813. He had 12
children-Martin B, John H, Thomas I, William C, James W, S A, Elizabeth C
(md James Tweedy), Nancy M, Syothia J (Md Timothy Edwards) Fanny
(mongoloid), George T, Permelia W (md Edward W. Bennett).
The family lived in Pulaski, Russell and Adair Co. Children were born
from 1833-1857. GW went to school at Danville and Georgetown Academies.
He taught school, farmed and was sherriff for a time. He died in 1878.
I was told he was buried in Irvington Ky (Breckinridge Co) in the Carter
Cemetery but when I visited no one knew of Carter Cemetery. He maried
Mary Ann "Polly" Raybourn. She may have died about 1858 since
she does not appear on the 1860 Census. His father was Thomas I Carter
who was Killed during war of 1812. I do not know where he is buried but
he was born in "Old Dominion".

BASHAM (1760-1840) and Bartlett BASHAM (1770-1847). Both of these men were pioneer settlers of Breckenridge Co KY first
