I’ve got a bunch who went over the mountain just prior to Tennessee statehood. Carter, Tuttle, Frey/Frye, Laird, Binkley, Morris and others, almost all younger sons and a few daughters. The Carter might be somewhat controversial in TN, Landon Carter, he was my fifth great grandfather. Illustrious line going way, way back to Rober “King” Carter and wife Elizabeth Landon Carter, but he didn’t exactly do us proud with the whole land office thing.

Carter is my middle name but I don't think it's the same line. Ours came from VA, my g-great grandfather was born in MO and then they settled near Crossville, TN and some went into KY. Family rumor has it some ran with the James-Younger gang but that's just speculation.

My TN lines are Carter, Farmer, Hamby, Dennis, Lindsey, Parker, Scarborough and more. My KY lines are Howard, Jones, Carter, Pennington, Muncy and more. Great to meet you. I won't hold your Carter family against you! ;)
