Biography

Andrew Carter is listed in our family Bible as Hamp Carter, with no dates/locations of birth or death given. The 1900 federal census shows wife Emma, living with their daughter Laura; marital status "Widowed." Nashville directory in 1906 shows Emma as "widow of Andrew." ^{[1] [2]}

Andrew is listed on death certificates for daughters Laura and Lena. ^[3]

Research Notes

• Record located for A.M. Carter, shows birth 1845 and death May 26, 1900, which is consistent with Andrew Carter's age and location. ^[4]
• Binkley-335 16:31, 14 September 2016 (EDT): I now have reason to believe his real identity is Hampton A. Pyron^[5] Emma's sister Susan married Napoleon Pyron, who had a brother named Hampton Pyron. (Aug. 3, 1859 - Feb. 25, 1890). He died young, find a grave indicates he drowned; he was buried in Clay County, TN. Emma was from Clay County, TN (Celina); this is where her sister married. It is my belief that Emma was married to or had a relationship with Hampton Pyron and had 3 daughters. I believe the relationship or marriage was something that would have brought her shame, which is why she changed their names to Carter.
