A new presentation on the Carter genealogy in Jackson County was made during Heritage Day in Granville, Tennessee today. The presentation was made by Bob Brown, Carter Harris and Garry Carter and discussed Charles Carter's move to Martin's Creek in the late 1790's, his genealogy back to the Carter's of Virginia, and his descendents. Approximately thirty people attended the meeting.
Bob Brown, who is a long-time genealogy researcher on the Carter genealogy, presented information he has collected on Charles Carter's move from Virginia to Tennessee and his marriage to Mary Stanton. He also discussed the children of Charles Carter and Mary Stanton and Charles Carter's ancestors in Virginia. Charles Carter and Mary Stanton had seven children. 
Carter Harris and Garry Carter discussed Charles Carter and Millie Stanton who also had seven children. They also discussed this website and how documentation on the Carter genealogy continues to be uncovered. The DNA project to scientifically prove one's genealogy was also discussed.
An open discussion followed the presentations. Attendees shared stories and asked questions and expressed interest in another meeting next year to share more information.
