Carter married Rosalynn Smith on July 7, 1946, in the Plains Methodist Church, the church of Rosalynn’s family.[448] They had three sons, Jack, James III, and Donnel; one daughter, Amy; nine grandsons (one of whom is deceased), three granddaughters, five great-grandsons, and eight great-granddaughters.[449] Mary Prince (an African American woman wrongly convicted of murder, and later pardoned) was their daughter Amy’s nanny for most of the period from 1971 until Jimmy Carter’s presidency ended.[450][451] Carter had asked to be designated as her parole officer, thus helping to enable her to work in the White House.[450][e]
