Notes:

Carter Dukes and his wife were born well before the civil war and were likely slaves for much of their lives. A slave owner in the Edgefield District of SC that had slaves of the ages of most of this family is accounted for by J C Smyley who apparently owned a large plantation there. According to the 1860 Slave Schedule for the US, he owned male slaves of the age of 55 and 45 (Carter if his age was not estimated correctly or if he lived elsewhere), a female, age 45 (Caty), a male, age 12 (George), a male, age 6, (Adam) and a male age 2 (Thomas). He was of the Saluda District of Edgefield County, SC in 1860.

In any case, if he is the son of Abraham, Araham's heirs received their father's bounty land grant after their father died in 1814. Because Abraham enlisted in 1812 and died in service in Illinois in 1814, his heirs would have recieved 160 acres in Illinois, Arkansas, Michigan or Missouri. His father's land was assigned in Arkansas. Since Carter still lived in South Carolina in 1870, I'm not sure if he ever moved to Arkansas.

Carter married Caty NATHANS. Caty was born about 1815 in Pickens, Edgefield, South Carolina; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

There were a lot of Gilliam slave owners in Newberry, SC near Edgefield, SC that could be where Lee lived as a likely slave before the Civil War. There was a William Williams who was a slave owner in Edgefield Co., SC where his wife Mary might have lived on a plantation.

Lee married Mary WILLIAMS. Mary was born in 1830 in South Carolina, USA; died after 1870 in of Edgefield County, South Carolina, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
