        I am glad to hear from you. As mentioned before I am the daughter of William Lee Carter born 1944. I have one brother Darryl William Carter born 1970 (I was born in 1965) My grandparents were Gilbert Thomas Carter
        (1905-1998) and Edna Booker Hall Carter. All of us was born in Halifax County VA. Gilbert T was born in Mt Carmel Va near Turbeville Va. My Papa Gilbert was the son of William Green Sr. and Mary E Powell Carter (1874-1965) Wiiliam Green Carter Sr and wife are buried at Olive Branch
        United Methodist Church in Mt Carmel. George T Carter (father of William G. Sr). and Sallie F.are also buried there. Have you been there? I am trying
        to get more info. on their life --I know they were farmers and I believe William G Sr. owned a store for awhile. I will see what I have for Susie but I Have spent more time on Sallie F and her line. Was Susie's name Martha Green? If so she may have been Sallie F's sister. I know she had a
        sister named Martha. If so you are going to be excited with your find I know I was living in Halifax Co. I have to look at my info and email you back with Sallie F's father and mother then maybe you can search a line. William Leigh Green (1832 and Susan H Gravitt (1832-1860) and they did have a daughter named Martha.
