[37266] AKA Lovan Carter. His death record states Leavan is son of Henry Carter and Susan Conary. He served in the U. S. Navy - "Applications for Headstones for U.S. Military Veterans, 1925-1941. Microfilm publication M1916, 134 rolls. ARC ID: 596118. Records of the Office of the Quartermaster General, Record Group 92. National Archives at Washington, D.C." Ancestry.com offers: "Carter Name Meaning - English: occupational name for a transporter of goods, Middle English cartere, from an agent derivative of Middle English cart(e) or from Anglo-Norman French car(e)tier, a derivative of Old French caret (see Cartier). The Old French word coalesced with the earlier Middle English word cart(e) cart, which is from either Old Norse kartr or Old English cræt, both of which, like the Late Latin word, were probably originally derived from Celtic."

[5645] http://www.guide2womenleaders.com/womeninpower/Womeninpower1000.htm reports "In 1051 her father, Earl Goodwin of Wessex revolted against the Norman influence, but failed, and was banished. Edward started divorce-proceedings, but they remained married until his death, and during the vacancy at the throne she seems to have been de-facto caretaker. They had no surviving children and there was a succession of rulers, resulting in William the Conqueror of Normandy becoming king and it was her who was obliged to hand over the keys to Winchester, the county town of Wessex. She remained in charge of vast lands, but did no longer participate in politics."

[20301] Albert was an ordained minister. He "restored" the "e" to the surname through his interest in genealogy. He was an Episcopal priest and served in Chicago (1900-05), Wilmette (1905-07) and in Momence, Morrison, Dixon and Grand Detour. He was a Democrat and belonged to the Elks lodge. He was active in the Boy Scouts of America, and received the Silver Beaver award. After his wife died, he married his housekeeper, Minnie Davies. Find A Grave memorial 104140626 offers: " An Episcopal priest, Father Whitcombe was an active priest until his death, but served more as a circuit rider after leaving St. Luke's in Dixon in about 1914, serving parishes in several nearby towns. He was most publically associated with St. Peter's in Grand Detour, Illinois where he spearheaded a completed renovation of the very old chapel (the second oldest Episcopal church in Illinois) with the son of Leonard Andrus, John Deere's partner. He is buried in the church lawn. He also did public relations for a local utility, sold life insurance, sat on the City council, and was Regional Counsel for the Lincoln Highway Association, State Chaplain for the Elks, a serious Mason, and very active on Civil Defense during WWI."
