Charles W. Carter (1858 Marengo, Iowa) was one of the children Harrison Carter (1829, Ohio) and Hannah Carter (1831 Ohio) had.
I am looking for help to find parents of Harrison Carter and Hannah. |

Marengo is located in Iowa County, Iowa.
The 1880 US census shows Hannah Carter, 49 yrs old, as a divorcee or a widow, born Ohio, both parents born Ohio. The only other person in that household that year is the son, Charles W., 23 yrs old, born Iowa, both parents born Ohio.
The 1870 US census shows Hannah Carter, 40 yrs old, born Ohio as head of her household which includes 7 4 children. (This typist's error in number of children corrected.)
John W. Carter, 20 yrs old, born Iowa.
Harrison A. Carter, 15 yrs old, born Iowa.
Charley W. Carter, 13 yrs old, born Iowa.
Amanda E. Carter, 10 yrs old, born Iowa.
The 1860 US census shows Harrison and Hannah Carter and their family living in Oxford township, Johnson County, Iowa.
The 1850 US census shows Harrison and Hannah Carter with no children yet living in Marengo area of Iowa County, Iowa.

Thank you, Hopkins.
May I ask some new questions.
In the 1870 US census Hannah Carter, 40 yrs old, born Ohio was head a household with 7 children, you have recorded 4 whos father was Harrison. What relationship would there be for the other ones?
In the 1880 US census Hannah was a divorcee or widow, I have seen records of a Harrison Carter and Elisabeth C. Carter in Green township, Platte County, Missouri with 4 children the oldest one born in 1871, this could possibly be the Harrison that Hannah was divorced from.
Any thoughts or confirmations would be nice. |

Sorry, my typo. I should have typed "with 4 children". I will go back and edit that.
The 1880 census only recorded marital status as single, married, or divorced/widowed. Three choices only.
You might look for someone who can check various Iowa State census enumerations for more information about the actual marital status of Hannah Carter. I would hate to guess. Divorce was very uncommon at that time. |
