Thank you for your thorough information compiled on our American Natives. I like many of your readers have been handed down stories of American Native ancestors. My grandfather did not want my grandmother to talk about it, so the story was vague. I found my 4th generation Boldin (Bolden - Bowling) Carter b 1826 - 1912 lived in Franklin County, NC. married 1) Aquilla Carter in 1856. Before their marriage Aquilla lived with a Drucilla Carter and others. Drucilla Carter married George Valentine 12 June 1853 Rowan, NC and their marriage bond listed they were of "color" Color at that time referred "american native" as "color". Drucilla and George Valentine had a son, William Carter Valentine. By the 1860 census Aquilla Carter (wife of Boldin Carter) Drucilla and George Valentine disappear forever. Boldin Carter married 2) Rebecca A E Holder in 1856. Boldin and Rebecca had 8 children, John L, Charles, William, Arebella, Joseph Edward, Lena, Fronnie and Wesley. Fronnie Carter is my ancestor and she married Sion Faison. Through ancestry.com I made connection with 2 other descendant families from Joseph Edward Carter and John Louis Carter. Both families had been handed down the same story of American Native relative. When Boldin Carter died it was listed as parents (unknown). So there the story is on pause. Thanks for everyone comments.
