I am still trying to find Lavinia's maiden name, but so far haven't had much success. She is my 3rd G Grandmother and she m. Jesse CARTER b. 1822 TN  to Henderson CARTER & Matilda TRIM. In Jesse's pension papers is information that she died about 1856 & is buried in Howell Co,MO & that Rutherford EASLEY & Rutherford EASLEY would know of her death. There are Easleys also in Howard Co,MO so maybe that's supposed to be the burial place.

    After Lavinia died Jesse married again to a Elizabeth "Betsy" Ann CARTER in Monroe Co,TN. In 1860 census they are in Albany, Gentry Co,MO. After this they moved to El Dorado, Saline Co,ILL & Jesse enlisted in the Union army in Illinois. Jesse & Lavinia's son Houston CARTER is also living there with his wife Louisa/Lenesa Kittinger (spelling?). Also there are some of the same EASLEY family that was in MO.  Jesse CARTER d. 1885 El Dorado, Saline Co, ILL.

  I would appreciate any help I can get with my GGG Grandparents, Jesse CARTER & Lavinia ? CARTER.  I haven't been able to find their marriage record so far. There are a lot of Jesse CARTER & Lavinia marriages & some with a Lavinia & other name besides Jesse CARTER.
