Notes:

Married by Albert Brown, Travis County Book 2, Page 408.

They lived at Waldo, McLennan County, three miles north of Oglesby, one mile east of Coryell Church.
They owned 1,025 acres. As of the writing of the historical piece in the McLennan County History (about 1892?), they were the parents of 10 children, 7 living: James M., Lulu B., J.R., W.A., Ollie Lee, Frank B. and Ethel.

One descendant told me she died while visiting her sister Sarah Etter in Crawford, but another said she died on a train traveling between Tolbert and Gatesville and that she lived in Vernon. One descendant said Mollie was short, heavy set, very quiet, loved her children and was
well loved, had black hair, black eyes. Said Mollie told stories of Indians killing children in a schoolhouse in Tennessee. Two of Mollie's
daughters died of diptheria and typhoid.

From History of Coryell County:
"W.J.G. McIlhaney and his wife Mollie Carter came to Texas in 1853**. He was born in Tippah County, Mississippi on May 8, 1839. She was born in Mississippi in September of 1844. James McIlhaney, his father settled with him on Rainey Creek, and they lived out their years untl his death on July 30, 1904 and his wife died in October 1911. Both of them are buried at the Coryell Church Cemetery in the family plot. Of this marriage were ten children, and seven of them lived to be grown. James, Cordia, J.R., W.A. Ollie Lee, Frank B., and Ethel, and W.J.G. W.J.G. spent some time in the Texas militia. He was a member of the company that disbanded the U.S. troops at Camp Colorado in Coleman County. Then he served under Captain Hartgraves company in Little Rock, Arkansas in 1861. He was in the hospital for three months and was discharged and he returned to Coryell County. W.J.G. and his wife took great interest in church affairs. He was a deacon on the board when the church building was being built in 1888. The building was built of cypress --money was scarce. W.J.G. was sent as delegate to the Sunday School convention in Dallas, Texas. He served as a Justice of Peace. . . . W.J.G. ran a store in a place called Waldo. The old store building is gone now. ... W.J.G. owned property in Coryell and McLennan county before his death."

[**The date was actually 1851. They did not marry in Mississippi. They married in Travis Co., TX.]

Mary (daughter of James Carter and Salina Roxanna Dean) was born on 9 Sep 1844 in Tippah County, Mississippi; died on 23 Oct 1911 in Waldo, Coryell, Texas; was buried in Oglesby, Coryell County, Texas, United States of America.

James Carter and Salina Roxanna Dean married 4-27-1836 in Hardeman County, TN. Their first child Wm. Lafayette was born 1837 in Hardeman Co., TN., d.1906. By 1839 James and Salina had gone to Tippah Co., MS where they may have had a son John W. b.1839 d.1850. Also in Tippah Co. they had children Robert M. 1841-?; Mary "Mollie" Charlesann 1844-1911; Sarah Etter 1847-1921; and Emily, b.1849, d.bef.1860. In 1851, the Carters went to Webberville, Travis County, TX where they had the following children: Amanda Roxanna, b.1851-1852, d.1917; Anna Bell 1854-1925; James "Buck" 1856-1930; and Missie Lena 1859-1907. In the late 1860s, James and Salina moved to Waco. All of their grown children also moved to the general Waco area at about that same time. By 1880 James and Salina were living west of Crawford near Tonk Creek.

In 1851 they moved to Webberville, Travis Co. TX, on the Colorado River. at 30°13'51.76"N and 97°30'59.99"W. The 1851 date is supported by Travis County tax records and by a biography of the husband of one of their daughters in an 1892 book. The 1892 source also states that James Carter was a deputy sheriff in Webberville. About 1869 they moved to McLennan County. In 1870 they lived in the town of Waco. By 1880 they had moved southwest of Waco near the Coryell line. The specific community may have been known as Tonk Creek. Their property was just yards southwest of where Tonk Creek crosses High Bridge Road in western McLennan County.

NOTE: The two graves behind James and Salina's are those of their daughter-in-law Sarah Jane Kirby 1858-1901, wife of their son Buck, and Buck and Sarah's daughter Jessie Verdon 1887-1896. In this view, Sarah is on the left and Jessie on the right.

As noted from Find A Grave
James Carter's early life is as yet unknown. Per the census, he may have been born in North Carolina, South Carolina or Alabama. The 1880 census says he was born in NC and that his parents were born in Virginia. In 1836, Greenberry Carter was the bondsman on James' marriage record in Hardeman County, Tennessee (Note: Greenberry Carter was a son of Jesse Carter of Hardeman Co., Tenn. I do not believe Greenberry was James' father, since G.B. later named another son James. Also, G.B. was too young to have been married when James was born). James married Salina Roxanna Dean April 27, 1836 in Hardeman Co., Tenn. Their first child, William L. Carter, was born there in April 1837. By 1839 they had moved to Tippah County, Mississippi (Greenberry Carter also went to Tippah County). A child John W. Carter may have been born to James and Salina in 1839 in Tippah County. He died in 1850; do not know for certain that he was their child. Their next four children were born in Tippah County: Robert M. 1841, Mary "Mollie" Charlesann Elizabeth 1844, Sarah Etter 1847, and Emily b.1849-50, d.before 1860. In 1851, the Carters moved to Webberville on the Colorado River in Travis County, Texas, where James worked as a wagoner and also served as a deputy sheriff. His next four children were born in Webberville: Amanda Roxanna 1851-52, Anna Bell 1854, James Buchanan "Buck" 1856, and Missie Lena 1859. James' two oldest sons served in the Civil War. About 1869, the Carters (along with all their children) moved to Waco in McLennan County, Texas, where James worked as a wagoner. His daughter Mollie McIlhaney settled in Coryell County. By 1880, James and Salina had moved to a rural area west of Waco, where James farmed on land he owned near Tonk Creek. He passed away on July 15, 1892.
NOTE:
I have never seen an instance where James Carter used a middle initial. He has been confused with a James M. Carter who also lived in Waco.

James married Salina Roxanna Dean on 27 Apr 1836 in Hardeman, Tennessee. Salina (daughter of Robert P Dean) was born on 1 Jun 1819 in Georgia, United States; died on 10 Mar 1903 in Osage, Coryell County, Texas Osage Cemetery; was buried in 1903 in Osage, Coryell, Texas, United States of America.
