I am searching for the parents of John Q. A. Carter. It is possible that he is actually the son of John L. Calhoun who married Annette P. Hatchett. If anyone can look up his birth record, I would appreciate it! John Q. A. Carter is listed as a Carter on his service record and was born in Franklin Co. TN. about June of 1877. I can find no record of Annette's death, but I know she married Isaac Leland Carter at some point in time, because her second child Flora, born 9/17/1878 in Franklin Co. TN, is their child. Even Flora's birth record might help me verify that Annette is the daughter of Preston Hatchett. In 1880, her family lives in Henry Co. KY., where her third child Lenora was born. All her children after that time were born in KY. She had a son which she named Henry Preston Carter, which also leads me to believe that she is the daughter of Preston Hatchett & Mary Lawing of Tennessee. I need to verify that! This Annette P. was born in Nov. of 1854. On Flora's death certificate, her parents are listed as Annetta Hatchett - Tennessee & Isaac Lee Carter - Kentucky. I have also found a record where Annette P. Carter and Isaac L. Carter applied for pension after John Q. A. Carter died in the Philipines. Someone please help!! Thanks!
