Mrs. Raber did not cross her t's so it is nearly impossible to distinquish between
names like "Nellie" and "Nettie". Also some of the Capital "T"'s and "F"s are identical.
Many abbreviates are used.
d y = died young — u m = unmarked — sur. = survived

22 March 1962

Mrs. S. G. Raber
R.R.#7
Columiba City, Ind.

Dear Mrs. Raber:

Several months ago I wrote to the J. A. DeMoney & Son Funeral Home inquiring about descendants of the ASHIEL CARTER family, hoping they might supply me with names of some of the CARTER descendants. I was unaware that the DeMoney family had any connection with the CARTER family until Robert J. DeMoney replied, and furnished what data he could.

He informed me that you were a descendant of ASAHEL CARTER, and could possibly give me some data.

I am enclosing a chart which is very incomplete. However, it is all the data I know. There must be at least fifty descendants that are not included in the chart. If you would help in nay way, either by supplying names, or dates of births, or dates of deaths, or to who they were married, or names of persons and their addresses to whom I could write and obtain some information, it would be appreciated.

I has been a slow process, but in the past three years I have gathered more than four hundred names of descendants of the ASA CARTER—CYNTHIA PARKER union.

Asa CARTER was born 25 July 1771. He may have been born in Virginia, or perhaps in England. He died 26 march 1844 in Franklin county, Ohio. He was married to CYNTHIA PARKER. She may have been born 2 Oct. 1763. She died 5 Oct. 1825 in Franklin County, Ohio. They had seven children: Asahel, Havilah, Dedan, Ardalas, Addison, Lucinda and Gelina (or Julina).

My Great - Great - grandfather was ARDALA CARTER, who was born 22 March 1805 in Loudoun County, Virginia, and died 30 June 889 in Adams County, Ind. He was married to HANNAH GULICK, who was born 8 Sept. 1812 in Hampshire County, Virginia, and died 28 march 1892 in Adams County, Indiana. They had fourteen children. The third child LORETTA CARTER, married my great - grandfather, NORMAN ACKER. Their second of six children was ALPHEUS Norman ACKER, who married EDNA A. FAUST. Their second of six children was NACKIE ELIZABETH ACKER who married HARRY BLAINE COWAN. I, Donald B. Cowan, am the third of four children. That is my connection to the CARTER family.

Enclosed is a stamps envelop for your reply. Yours very truly, s/Donald B. Cowan.
