Lewis married Eliza Jane Theodocia "Jennie" Killingsworth (1857–1942), of Tennessee, on Jan. 9, 1876, in Grainger County, TN. I have not been able to locate them together in the 1880 census. Lewis was living with his parents in Knoxville, TN, in 1880 and declared himself single.
Six children:
• William Henry Carter (1876–1941)
• Albert Glen Carter (1879–after 1900)
• Clyde Cecil Carter (1883–1970)
• Mamie Myrtle Carter (1886–1887)
• Leia Paula "Daisy" Carter Palmer (1888–1973)
• Anna Mae Carter Freeburg (1893–1977)
Lewis was a carpenter. By 1900, Lewis & Eliza Jane had separated, but both were in Dallas. She called herself widowed on the 1900 census, though she was not, and he was living as a widowed boarder on Elm Street. They were eventually buried in two separate cemeteries. When he died first in 1916, his death certificate said he was widowed, but he was not.
