I am including some census info on LEVI CARTER in Monroe and Bradley Co., TN. I am looking into Levi and family because I believe his wife was MARGARET WILSON, sister of TRESA WILSON who married WILSON THOMAS. I don't know who Levi Carter's parents and siblings were either. I am descended from TRESA (WILSON) b c 1817 and WILSON THOMAS b c 1815.

I am trying to find who Tresa's (Wilson) family was, especially her father. I believe her mom was NANCY WILSON b.c1777 in Virginia. The families were in Monroe Co., TN in 1830 and then around 1840 they are in Bradley Co., TN. I have included some census information on my THOMAS family, NANCY WILSON, and LEVI & MARGARET (WILSON) CARTER. Plus Carter's found in Monroe and Bradley Co., TN.

I have no proof that this is my Nancy Wilson and daughter Tresa. Just process of elimination and ages fitting in. Nancy is not found in the 1840 Monroe Co., TN census.
