    • Per Ancestry death records, Samuel lived in Lake City (Knoxville Co.) Tennessee. Lake City is in Anderson Co. His death reportedly occurred in Knoxville, Knox Co., Tennessee. Family legend, however, has his death as being at his residence. Peer family, Samuel was mean and abusive towards his family. As he arrived home one day, his son, Henry, stuck a gun out the window and shot him dead. This information was obtained from one of Samuel's descendants and at the time, Henry was still alive but had never been charged with murder. J Spradlin 02-04-13.

    Notes 
    • As of May 2019, this Charles A Carter has not been proven to be the husband of Henrietta Kidwell. Family rumor says that he was murdered. I do not have concrete evidence of this.

      The death date of 1896 is more likely to be that of Henrietta's husband as her children were born in 1889 and 1891. Some records for this Charles Carter show his death in 1888, at age 18. Either there were two Charles A. Carters or the death date is wrong. I have visited the grave of the man who died in 1888 in the Carter Cemetery, but not the Bridgeman-Carter Cemetery where the late Husband of Henrietta Kidwell reportedly is buried.
