1870 OWEN COUNTY CENSUS INDEX
Carter, Ludwell
Harr 218
!SOURCE: Wife and son James from 1920 census of Ashland twp., Morgan Co. IN.
Ludwell's grave is located in the 4th row from the west boundary and south of
James Carter, I suppose this is his son James, and north of a son who was born
27 Sep 1880 and died 4 Jun 1896. At least I think this would be his son, but
I can't read the name.
