THIS IS ANOTHER CALEB CARTER
HE MAY BE THE "MISSING LINK"
CALEB CARTER
received 200 acres in Blount Co., TN, 22 Feb 1795 (we have copy of deed)
This Caleb served on jury duty, was overseer of roads, had estray (cattle)
recorded from Sep 1795, through Jan 1798, when another man was appointed
road overseer in his place.
He sold the 200 acres by power of attorney (Jacob Meek) on 26 Dec 1799
(Land
Bk. G., p. 393, have copy) indicating that he had already moved from TN by
this time.
THIS DEED WAS NOT FILED UNTIL Jul 1922 (we think when the estate of the
man who
purchased it was being probated). The minute book does not show anything
about where
Caleb CARTER was living in 1822.
*WHERE DID THIS CALEB CARTER GO 1798-99, WHEN HE LEFT BLOUNT CO., TN??
********
To prove connection to our family:
*WE NEED A DOCUMENT land, entry in some journal or minute book, etc.)
SHOWING THAT THIS CALEB CARTER, MOVED TO MASON COUNTY, KY by 1800
*********
Two pieces of "circumstantial evidence:"
1) Our ancestor, Caleb CARTER, "tradition is that he received land in
TN and KY and "let it go back to the government."
2) His youngest son, Benjamin, was born 25 Feb 1787, at White's Fort,
which
is "near Knoxville" THIS IS OUR TIE TO TENNESSEE.

CALEB CARTER
(Most researchers say he is son of below Levy Sr.---he is too old. If
Levy Sr. was
b. 1736, married at age 20, had a son 1757, then the son would have been
age 15 in 1772,
when Caleb CARTER received 200 acres in Monongalia Co., VA!!)
LEVY CARTER SR.
supposedly b. ca 1736 in WALES (Not documented, more likely NJ or ENGLAND)
WIFE WAS Susanna
(Children: Caleb, Levi Jr., John, Jesse, Joseph, Elijah, Susanna
Templeton,
Rachel Hartley and maybe Nathan) [Look at the marriage dates of these
children, all in 1790's
and after 1800---were they b. 1770's , or all just got married much LATER
than was
usual in those days???]

estate in Greene Co., in 1815-1819. (have some copies)
THERE ARE TWO CALEB CARTERS in 1830 census, Monroe Co., TN.
(Several different researchers claim them)
Caleb, son of Levy Sr., had a son named Dr. John Wesley CARTER, who
moved from Monroe Co., TN to MO, then to TX. (I have had correspondence
with a descendant)
Back
Page 3-C
The Caleb CARTER Sr. of this family is the one we are interested in.
Before John Denton Carter died, he conceded to me (Kathryn Carter) that the
Caleb CARTER who received 500 acres on Lick Creek, in 1787 was PROBABLY
an older man and the BROTHER of Levy Sr., instead of his son. But he
didn't
live to publish this in a second volume of his Carter History.
NORTH CAROLINA LAND GRANTS:
[These were grants given for Revolutionary War service in NC; Caleb has no
actual military record from NC but performed some kind of act to help the
government, for WHICH HE WAS PAID, I have vouchers.]

Warrant of Survey is dated 7 Jun 1786
Abstract of Land Grant is dated 20 Sep 1787

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT:
the Caleb CARTER - 1765, Hampshire Co., VA
1772, land Monongalia Co., VA
1774, Dunmore's War, Monongalia Co., VA
1780, Washington Co., NC, tax list
1785-87, land grant on Lick Creek, Green
Co., TN
ARE ALL THE SAME MAN
b. ca. 1740-50
"probably left after 1794 when this deed was recorded," but we don't KNOW THAT.
maybe went to Blount Co., TN 1795-99
maybe moved to Mason Co., KY 1800
Maybe had sons LEVY, ISRAEL, BENJAMIN
I CAN'T PROVE THIS!!!
* IF ANYONE CAN FURNISH PROOF (land record, tax record, will or estate,
ANY DOCUMENT that isn't "tradition" or "supposition") THAT:
CALEB CARTER who received 500 acres in 1787 WAS INDEED THE SON
OF LEVY SR., I will shut my mouth and plan to publish our known line back
to 1800, Mason Co., KY and just forget TN.

Or, does anyone on the Internet know about a family of CARTERS in

Ephriam???

ONLY ONE OTHER POSSIBILITY
(This one has haunted me for years!):
JOSEPH CARTER of Greene Co., TN, d. ca 1810-11 at a ripe old age
(no will) supposedly born in VA (one source said Bedford Co.)
17 Nov 1780, Greene Co., TN, witness in a county court case

ONE KNOWN SON:
Joseph CARTER Jr.
b. on the James River in VA (about 1750???)
Married Phebe HARMAN
METHODIST PREACHER
d. about 1830, Green Co., TN
HIS WIDOW MOVED TO MONROE CO., TN, died there age 103
7 children:
Micajah, Jabish, Lewis, Sidney, Atlanta, Celetia, Cynthia.
OTHER POSSIBLE SONS OF JOSEPH SR.:
MICAJAH CARTER m) 1784, Greene Co., TN
CALEB???
[Note: there was a Micajah CARTER in Greene Co., TN. Caleb CARTER
was bondsman on his marriage 1784 --- also one in Blount Co., TN,
in records there 1800 and after --- also in Monroe Co., TN records]
The above information is in a loose file in Greene Co., TN library, found
by Stanley T. Carter.
In the Nov. 1991 issue of the Greene Co. Pioneer, Sue Carter Thompson,
wrote that Joseph CARTER, POSSIBLY came down from New Jersey with John Sr.
Levi and their families.***
Therefore, this JOSEPH CARTER is another Greene Co. family which has been
all mixed up in previous research.***
That's it! CARTER RESEARCH DONE BY GLENN DALE & KATHRYN CARTER.

Keener-Owen Suit
Chancery Book 26 pg. 35
Contributed by Nila B., OWEN Family Researcher
Pleas at Urbana before the Hon. Ralph S. Hart, Judge of the Court of Common
Pleas of the Count of Champaign and State of Ohio of the term of October
16th, 1854.
Christian Keener et al vs. Aaron Owens et al, petition.
Be it remembered that on the 31st day of August 1854, came the said
petitioners by their attourneys and filed the following petition, to wit:
"Christian Keener and David Keener, Plaintiffs, vs. Daniel Allen, Hannah
Allen, Thomas Allen, Anna Allen, Thomas [B.] Cheney, David Carr and his wife
Mary Carr, John Cheney, [Elizabeth] Randall, [Francis Cheney, listed under
9th heir Elizabeth Cheney, page 2], and William Cheney [all descendants of
Elizabeth Owen Cheney]; John Owen, Andrew Wood and his wife Mary Wood, John
Wood, Rebecca Wood, Aaron M.[/H.] Owen, Rebecca [really Sarah Jane] Legge
wife of [James] Legge, Samuel Tarpenning, James Tarpenning, Mary Tarpenning,
James Owen, Warret Owen, Francis Owen, Ebenezer Owen, Jane Lumbert wife of
[Jesse] Lumbert, Levina Ann Legge [all descendants of James Owen]; Harvey
Bowen [don't know who he belongs to], Mary Eliza Mendee and her husband
[Samuel] Mendee [don't know who they belong to], John Mathis [s/o Elizabeth
Owen Mathis?], Hannah Wren and her husband Isaac Wren, Sarah Willoughby and
her husband [William] Willoughby [all descendants of Warret Owen]; Mary Hull
and her husband [Thomas] Hull, [Elizabeth Sprague and John Baker mentioned
under 8th heir Sally Baker, page 2], [Cynthia Rodebaugh and Rebecca
Rodebaugh, mentioned under instructions to Union Co Sheriff, page 3],
Matilda Jones and her husband Thomas Jones, [all descendants of Sarah Owen
Baker], defendants.
The said plaintiffs say that in February 1854, their brother Samuel Keener
departed this life in Champaign County Ohio possessed of certain lands which
he had contracted to sell to Edward R. Glenn and Isaac __. Glenn, and at the
time of delivering possession thereof on the 1st of April 1854, he was also
to make conveyance thereof by fee simple title, and he left a last will
which after making some specific legacies gave all his remaining property to
these plaintiffs. That for lack of power in said will for the executors or
for the devisees[?] to execute conveyances in completion of said contract
with the said Glenn & Glenn, these plaintiffs have procured releases from
all the remaining heirs of their brother Samuel by which the legal and
equitable title to all his lands became vested in these plaintiffs as far as
it had descended to said heirs. That among the said lands were a quarter
section, to wit, the SW quarter of Sec. 33 [etc.], 130 acres of which said
Samuel Keener had purchased of Allen Meinturn by deed dated 9 April 1850,
and of which the said Meinturn had been in possession since the year 1816,
as his own property, claiming title thereto, and 29-1/2 acres had been
purchased of Robert V. Brown by deed dated 14 Oct 1833, and also derived
title from Nathan Reese, who had been in possession claiming title thereto
since 1816, and it sure appears that the said quarter section of land had
been entered in the land office at Cincinnati per the sale of Congress
lands, prior to the year 1807 by John OWENS, then of Champaign County, who
departed this life leaving a widow and ten children to whom said land
descended, with only one payment made thereon, and three-fourths of the
purchase money still due to the United States. That the widow of John OWENS
obtained letters of administration on the estate of her husband, and by
authority obtained from the Court of Common Pleas of Champaign County Ohio,
sold the said lands and before executing the deeds to the purchasers was
married to one Caleb CARTER who, as administrator of the estate, made a deed
to Nathan Reese for 29-1/2 acres on the 14th day of February 1816, and to
Anthony Wall for 30 acres on the 22nd day of November 1817, and to Allen
Meinturn for 100 acres on the 14th day of February 1816, all of which was
before the patent of the United States had been issued, which afterwards
issued to the said John Owens on 7th Dec 1816 as if he were alive, and was
thus a subtlety, until made operative by a later act of Congress, to pass
the title to the heirs of John Owens, when their equitable interest therein
had already been transferred to Allen Meinturn, Nathan Rees [sic], and
Anthony Wall, and from them by sundry deeds of assignment to these
