Marriage Notes: William and Mary came to Gerogia about 1828 when the land now in Harris, Talbot, and the surrounding area was first opened to settlers following an Indian peace treaty [Margaret Woodall Browne to cousins in 1972 referencing a Mary Catherine Griffin Terry letter]. The Carters returned to South Carolina upon the death of Rueben Wilkes in 1830 to settle his estate. When they returned to Georgia, they brought Rueben's widow Sarah Thomas Wilkes, and their daughters, Winifred and Anna.

In the 1870 Census, Mary is living in Harris County, Georgia, in the house of her daughter Mary Griffin. She is 80 years old and was born in South Carolina.
