Sixth-generation Ancestors
Harold Carter--Orvil Carter--William Francis Carter--Francis Marion Carter--
John was born in 1740 in Baltimore, Maryland to Alexis Lemmon and Martha (?) when his father was about 21. His father emigrated from either Ireland or England, his mother probably from Scotland or Ireland. John was the oldest of six siblings, all of whom were born in Baltimore.
Sarah was born in Baltimore in 1737 to Thomas Stansbury and Hannah Gorsuch when her father was 23 and her mother was either 18 or 23. She was the second of 11 children, all of whom were born in Baltimore.
John and Sarah married March 6, 1760 in Baltimore when he was 19 and she was 23. They moved soon afterwards to Hampshire, Virginia where their first five children were born. In 1774 they moved back to Baltimore, and, after two more children, left in 1778 for Harrison, Indiana where John Jr. and his younger brother were born. The children were: Lemuel (1761-1836), Martha (1764-?), Hannah (1768-?), Alex (1768-?), Thomas (1770-1854), Benjamin (1774-?), Eleanor (1777-before 1836), John (1778-?), and Charles (1780 or 86-?). John and Sarah returned to Baltimore sometime after 1786, where John Sr. died in 1811 at the age of 70 and Sarah in 1815 at the age of 78.

Phillip Lorentz Houtz (born 1713 in Halloch, Pfalz, Bayern, Germany) and

Phillip was born in 1713 in Bavaria, Germany to Johann Wendel Houtz and Anna Catharina ? when his father was 44 and his mother 39. He was the youngest of eight children. His mother died in Bavaria when he was just two, so he was probably raised mainly by his siblings, the oldest of whom was 16 at the time. He immigrated to the United States sometime before his 27th birthday.
Anna was born in 1720 in Schoharie, Albany, New York to Christian Wilhelm Walborn (born in Germany) and Catherine Elisabeth Batdorf (also born in Germany) when her father was 28 and her mother 23. She was the third of 12 children. She was about 4 when her family moved to Pennsylvania.
