Our family migrated from Rockingham County North Carolina to Scott County Virginia prior
to 1877. I wish to locate the parents of John William Carter. They were named James & Parthenia although James
was called "Buford" by his children. It has been told that James "Buford" died in the Civil War.
His son, John William, was supposed to have fought in his place and returned to their home in Madison, NC after
the war to find their home burned to the ground. Read Linda Carter Crowder's summary for more information.
