JEFFREY, CARTER, MAY, FEARS -- My gr grandfather Franklin R. Jeffrey, was born in
Caldwell Co. March 4, 1862. His father is Jeremiah Franklin Jeffrey b. 1833 in Alabama.
Jeremiah was married to Emaline May 1859 in Caldwell Co., Tx. Franklin R. was married to
Kate Carter on June 12, 1879. Kate Carter was the daughter of Hugh Carter b. 1828 and Lucinda
Fears. Lucinda and Hugh were married in Caldwell Co. in 1858. I have info on the Jeffrey line
that is extensive including Surnames of HELLUMS, PRUITT, ROBERTS, BISHOP. I do not
know much about Hugh Carter. What I do know is this: Hugh Carter that I know was in Civil
War as well. Hugh is noted as a Pvt. in the Camp Terry group, enrolled 5-8-1862. His age is
listed as 34 at this enrollment. This would make his date of birth about 1828. Hugh was born in
Greene Co., Tn. Lucinda Fears (DAVIS) was born in Arkansas in 1833. Lucinda's father was J.
Fears b. abt. 1800 and d. before 1850. Would appreciate corresponding with anyone on these
names. The one I know least about is Hugh Carter.
