Martha Sue Green

Notes:

I have recently been given tin-type photographs of George T. and his first wife Martha Sue Green. I would be glad to share them with other family members who can share photographs with me. Please contact me at mfeggleston@gmail.com. May 2013

George T. Carter had two wives. Susie Gravitt is found on the death certificate as the mother of Joseph Alpha Carter, Sr.. Both George and Susie are listed as having been from Halifax County, Virginia. Later investigation shows the marriage record as Martha S. Green.

His second wife, Sallie Fanny Green is likely the sister of his first wife. In 1924 she inherits money from her uncle, John King Gravitt and the 4 children of Geo. T. Carter and Sue Green are listed as heirs in this will, as well. By 1930 George T. Carter is listed as widower on the census.

Sue Green (Carter) is mentioned in the will of John King Gravitt and listed as deceased. Her children with George T. Carter are listed as heirs.
