Laura Alice Carter Vest Terre Haute Indiana 3/17/1847
This is some family history I had passed on to me in the form of a note that comes with a quilt that was made in 1864.
The note states that Laura Alice Carter was born March 17th 1847.She was the daughter of Hannah Medesette Carter.She married Joseph Elkannah Vest who served as standard bearer (?) and chaplain during the Civil War in the 11th Indiana regiment under General Lew Wallace.The note mentioned that she rode horseback to her mother's home where they pieced together the quilt with friends.
Any takers!?
