There seems to be some confusion about where Lucinda was born. Several online trees and some obituaries give Indiana as her birthplace. However, if you look at the 1810 and 1820 censuses, her family was still living in Kentucky. Also the siblings on either side of Lucinda were born in Kentucky, making it incredibly unlikely that she was born in Indiana. --skc

DEATH OF MRS. LUCINDA E. CARTER
Mrs. Lucinda E. Carter died at the home of her daughter in Barnesville, Ohio, Sunday a week, and the remains were brought to Bloomington on Tuesday of last week and taken to the residence of Dr. Joseph G. McPheeters. On Wednesday afternoon the funeral services were conducted in the Walnut St. Presbyterian Church by Rev'ds Ballentine and Carrier, a very large audience of friends and former neighbors being present to pay the last tribute of respect. The burial took place in the Dunn burying ground on the Dunn farm east of town.
From Barnesville (OH) ENTERPRISE. "The death of Mrs. Lucinda E. Carter occurred at the parsonage of the M. E. Church, May 2d. The deceased was born in Indiana, May 29, 1814. She was the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Dunn who were among the early pioneers of that state and for many years a resident of Bloomington, Indiana. Hon. George G. Dunn, a member of Congress from Indiana for some years, was her brother and Hon. William McKee Dunn, also a member of Congress from the same state during the late war and finally appointed Judge Advocate General of the U. S. Army, which position he held for a number of years. She was married to James W. Carter in 1836, and after a happy married life of 33 years her husband died in 1873. Two daughters only remain of the family. One the wife of Hon. J. E. Mitchell, ex-mayor of the City of Indianapolis, and the other Mrs.S. L. Binkley of our town.
Mrs. Carter having spent nearly all her life in Bloomington, and having a large circle of relatives there, her remains were taken to that place to be buried in the family cemetery by the side of her parents, husband and other relatives. She has been connected with the Presbyterian Church more than half a century and having walked with Christ so many years, died in that faith, calmly resting on the bosom of her Savior. Brief and appropriate funeral services were held at the parsonage Monday afternoon, conducted by Revs. L. Paine, C. B. Henthorn and Dr. Baker."
