NAMES: Lucinda Carter
Dear Wayne,
Here is the information you asked about. Lucinda's information is recorded
incorrectly. She could not have been born in 1883, or she would have been
born when William was 53 years old. Not likely. I think this was supposed to
be 1833. We see this a lot in the cemetery listing - just a typing error. Her
death date is apparently unknown. You will not below that they were married
in 1853 - Lucinda would have been 20 years old, just right if her birthdate
is 1833.
Cemeteries of Brown County, IL, p. 7 (Benville Cemetery, Buckhorn
Township):
Lucinda J. Carter, wife of W. H. Carter (11 Aug 1883 - ?)
William H. Carter (31 Aug 1830 - 22 Apr 1900)
I went out on the web to the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index and found
their marriage:
William H. Carter married Lucinda Jane Johnson 8 Feb 1853, Adams
County, IL
I hope this is of help to you.
My husband has asked me to suggest to you that you might like to submit some
of your family information to our webpage if it is in a format that can be
made available to others. Let us know if this interests you.
In case you have need to look up an Illinois marriage, here is the web
address of the site I used:
