Deborah Carter

from 'hardly a man is now alive', the autobiography of Daniel Carter Beard: pg. 8.

About that time and previous to that time, there were other settlers in New England. From the Bartlett's came Deborah, the blithe, rosy-cheecked maid who rode her palfrey over the Alleghany Mountains to the Queen City of the West, where she met and married Colonel Thomas Carter, a veteran of the War of 1812, thus mingling the good red blood of the Carters with that of the Parkers, Phillips, Arnolds and Ballous, not forgetting that of Deborah's great -grandmother, who is said to have been Welsh, though she had light-colored eyes and wore big hooped gold earrings. James H. Beard, married the daughter of Deborah Bartlett Carter, and that is where i came from, for Deborah Bartlett Carter was my grandmother.
