  _UID	61B7305AAD42488F9409B1CB519202A30961

  Notes	This individual appears among the Virginia/North Carolina Minters but no-one seems to know where he came from even though there are plenty of traces of him. The best clue to James's ancestry ought to be that his death certificate gives his parents' names: James Minter and Sally (unknown). The nearest match to these names and with a workable date is James Wade Minter (1852 - 1941), who was married first to Sarah L Hensley, then Sallie E Doss. But there's absolutely no evidence to support the idea that they had anything to do with James William Minter. 1910 United States Federal Census: in Winston, Forsyth, North Carolina (indexed as WENTERS by Ancestry) (both MINTER), James W (head, 26, married 0 years, born Virginia, foreman, tobacco factory) and Carrie L (wife, 19, married 0 years, born North Carolina). 1920 United States Federal Census: in Winston-Salem, Forsyth, North Carolina (all MINTER), James (head, 36, born Virginia, foreman, tobacco factory), Carrie (wife, 29, born North Carolina), Lillian (daughter, 8, born North Carolina), Nina (daughter, 6, born North Carolina) and James (son, 4, born North Carolina). 1930 United States Federal Census: in South Fork, Forsyth, North Carolina (all MINTER), James W (head, 46, married at 21, born Virginia, inspector, hosiery mill), Carrie L (wife, 40, married at 15, born North Carolina), Lillian E (daughter, 18, born North Carolina), Nina R (daughter, 16, born North Carolina, clipper, hosiery mill), James C (son, 14, born North Carolina), Mildred L (daughter, 7, born North Carolina) and Francis B (daughter, 5, born North Carolina). 1940 United States Federal Census: in South Fork, Forsyth, North Carolina (all MINTER), James W (head, 57, born North Carolina, laborer, hosiery mill), Carrie L (wife, 49, born North Carolina), Nina R (daughter, 26, born North Carolina, seamstress, hosiery mill), James C (son, 24, born North Carolina, knitter, hosiery mill), Mildred L (daughter, 17, born North Carolina) and Francis B (daughter, 15, born North Carolina).
