George was my maternal grandmother's uncle, and I have known his middle name to have been "Carter." His mother, Elizabeth Ann, sometimes Ann Elizabeth Clarke, was called Betty, Bitty, and Annie. This branch of my family played loose with names, but I don't think Betty/BittyAnnie was ever known as Elizabeth, to her family, and friends or on any documents I have come across in my researches.
