CARTER

I am seeking information on the Carter family of Rapides Parish, Louisiana. Solomon Carter was born ca. 1810 in Louisiana, and died after 1860. His wife was named "Louisa". She was also born ca. 1810 in Louisiana. They had nine known children, probably born in Rapides Parish:

• Emily Carter, born ca. 1837

• Solomon Carter, born ca. 1838

• Claiborne Carter, born ca. 1840

• Elvera Carter, born ca. 1842; married Gideon Gibson in Sabine Parish July 11, 1860.

• Elizabeth Carter, born ca. 1843

• Winnefred Carter, born ca. 1844

• Lavina Carter, born ca. 1846; married Zedikiah Gibson in Rapides Parish Dec. 22, 1869.

• Daniel Carter, born ca. 1847

• Job Carter, born 1850

Solomon's wife, Louisa, died ca. 1850-1854 and he remarried a woman named "Elizabeth". From this marriage were three known children born in Rapides Parish, Louisiana:

• Mary Ann Carter, born ca. 1855

• David Carter, born ca. 1855

• Louisiana Carter, born ca. 1860

The family of Solomon Carter appear in the 1860 census for Rapides Parish, but are not found in the 1870 census for the same Parish.
