Anna Elizabeth Barclay Carter is a sister of Alexander Barclay and his heir. Anna was born on the 15 of April, 1870 in Eagle Creek. She is present in the Federal and state census of 1870, 1875, 1880, 1885. She is also the youngest child of John Barclay and his second wife Ellen. It is possible that her middle name is Ellen, not Elizabeth per a cousin 11/26/2017.
She married David Maurice Carter on 9 July, 1885 in Scott Co., Minnesota.

Marinette, Wisconsin and Menominee, Michigan
Anna and David Carter lived in an area of Wisconsin which is right on the border of Michigan so you might see to two towns intertwined in the records of people who lived in this area. These towns are on the shores of Lake Michigan and protected by Green Bay Harbor. I have seen Lake Michigan but only from its very southern tip. It is more like an ocean.
Be advised that I am not an expert on the Carter family which looks like it has very interesting history being of French Canadian origins. There are cousins who know more and what I present here is just a summary so if you want to obtain further information leave a comment and I can contact you to chat. I am also basing this information on what the census is revealing and cemetery information, more needs to be done.
In 1900 Anna and David Carter appear in the Marinette, Marinette Co., Wisconsin census. It looks like a brother is nearby?
