Documentation:
* 1830 Census Rabun Co., GA;
* 1850 Census Pickens Dist., SC;
* 1860-1870 Census Rabun Co., GA;
* Godfrey Cemetery, Rabun Co., GA;
* Marriage records, Rabun Co., GA.

Notes:
* On April 18, 1824 in Hall Co., GA, a William CARVER married Elizabeth STANSELL (or STANCIL). I believe that this is "my" William and Elizabeth CARVER, but I haven't yet proven it.
* This family flip-flopped across the GA-SC state line frequently, as did many other families of that time. William owned land in Rabun Co., GA, but I believe his estate may have been probated across the state line in Oconee Co., SC.
* Willis CARVER, William and Elizabeth's youngest child, may have fought in the Civil War as a Private in Company E, 24th GA Infantry, CSA.
* I have been unable to trace four of the six children of Elizabeth and William CARVER. Chances are, they married in (then) Pickens Dist., SC, which would make them hard to find as SC didn't require officially kept marriage records until the 20th century. The task is made even more difficult by the fact that there were numerous other CARVER families in that area of SC (Williams's relatives), and they all used similar names for their children.
