He and his sons were on the right side of the War for Independence and the sons received land in Tennessee for their services.
After the land played out, they moved further South to the mills of Alabama, so I reckon I’m ok on the genealogy front since I can name them all, 10 generations back to 1725.
Well, then, I suppose your ancestor and mine crossed paths at the land office then. His name was Landon Carter. Yup, kin to Jimmuh I am, as dismaying as that might sound.
