The story was that old Caleb Carter did not like his son-in-law and called the bushwackers on him because his daughter had married a Cherokee. I find that silly as Caleb married Nancy and she was Cherokee by all reports. Maybe they were considered just Indians that the Harspburgers (sic) wanted to get rid of. There is a cemetery called Mt. Hope just to the west of my family's old property where some of the Harspburgers are buried. Maybe that's the Hersbergers.... Also if they targeted A. J. Carter, maybe it was because he was half Cherokee or more. Teresa
