1.      Can’t find when William George Carter (her father) originally came to America. Missing from 1871 Census. Don’t have and can’t find1871 or 1881 Canadian Censuses. Can’t find Jane in 1881.

2.      Can’t determine why Otterville, Ontario for William & Jane Carter (her parents).  Otterville was Quakers area for free African-Americans, escaped slaves.

3.      Can’t figure out how or why Elizabeth Lavinia came to own a farm in Jefferson, Maine. Have checked aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews AND MORE for Carter, Stones, Leadbeaters AND MORE and have no one in Maine area.  The closest is the sister in Waltham, Mass.  Haven’t found historical information on Lincoln county/Jefferson ME showing significant event which would bring anyone there over somewhere else.
