Sara Carter
Sara Carter (July 21, 1898 – January 8, 1979) was an American Country music musician.
She was born Sara Dougherty in Copper Creek, Virginia, (Rich Valley), the daughter of William Sevier Dougherty and Nancy Elizabeth Kilgore.
Sara married A. P. Carter on June 18, 1915, but they were later divorced.
In 1927, she and A.P. began performing as the Carter Family, perhaps the first commercial rural Country music group. They were joined by her cousin, Maybelle, who was married to A.P.'s brother, Ezra Carter.
Sara later remarried and moved to California.
In 1993, Sara's image appeared on a U.S. postage stamp honoring the Carter Family.
