  Notes	This John Minter might be descended from the James Minter who died about 1780 in Chatham North Carolina (RIN 193). The line hasn't been proved so John is here unattached. November 2015: a rather more likely possibility, mainly prompted by the Ray-Compton public member tree at ancestry.com, is that John was one of the several children of Jeremiah Minter (born about 1770) and his wife America BRINKLEY. For the time being, I'm adopting this idea. 1860 United States Federal Census (done on 15 June 1860 [155 years ago today!]), in Benton, Marshall, Kentucky, J MINTER, 42, tobacconist, born Tennessee, was living with J C GILBERT (29, lawyer, born Kentucky), his wife A GILBERT (18, born Tennessee) and their son C GILBERT (1, born Kentucky). Also in the house was W H JOHNSTON (19, student, born Kentucky). 1870 United States Federal Census (done on 21(?) August 1870), in Symsonia, Graves, Kentucky (all MINTER), John (52, farmer, born Tennessee), Catharine (29, keeping house, born Kentucky), Francis M (3, male, born Kentucky) and Bettie C (1, born Kentucky). Also at the house was Gilbert CUNNINGHAM (21, born Kentucky) who worked on the farm. 1880 United States Federal Census (done on 7 June 1880), in Benton, Marshall, Kentucky (all MINTER), John (62, farmer, born Tennessee, parents both born North Carolina), Catherine (38, wife, keeping house, born Kentucky, father born Alabama, mother Virginia), Frank M (13, son, works on farm, born Kentucky), Elizabeth C (11, daughter, at home, born Kentucky) and Henry Lee (6, son, born Kentucky). 1900 US census: Catherine, a widow, was with her son Frank. John must have died between 1880 and 1900. 1910 US Census: Catherine L MINTER was with her daughter Bettie C, now married for a second time, in Stephenville Ward 4, Erath, Texas.
