Hi,

I am looking for Carter family tree information for the Carter family of Rye Cove Virginia. My grandmother (Eva Carter) Grandfather (John Carter) Mother (Margie Owens Carter), Father (Charles Hampton Carter) are all buried at the Carter cemetery in Rye Cove.

My father was in the great cyclone that destroyed the
Rye Cove School in the 1920's and killed 13 children.
