9.  ELMORE3 CARTER (JESSE2, JACOB1) was born 1770 in North Carolina, and 
died 1836 in Georgia.  He married DELILAH WEST, daughter of WILLOUGHBY WEST 
and PENELOPE CHILDS.

Notes for ELMORE CARTER:
Elmore Carter was born in, so said, Elizabeth City. N.C., about 1770, and 
was a son of Jesse Carter. He married Delilah West, daughter of Willoughby 
and Penelope Childs West of South Carolina. No complete list of their 
children is now available.

It is known that Elmore Carter lived some years in Georgetown District, 
S.C. There is an Elmore Carter listed there in the 1790 Census as the head 
of a family, but whether he is the same man is not definitely known now. By 
1806, Jesse Carter and Elmore Carter had removed to Kershaw County, Camden 
District, S.C. Record is found in Kershaw County at Camden, of deed from 
Elmore Carter and wife, Delilah, of Kershaw County, to Archibald McDowell, 
dated Jan. 5, 1811, conveying 100 acres there (deed book "F", page 273, 
Kershaw County). Another instrument, being a mortgage, is found there from 
Jesse Carter to Henry Abbott, dated Oct. 27, 1806, for 250 acres on Hanging 
Rock Creek (deed book "E", page 407). It was not long after the 1811 deed 
that Elmore and his family moved to Georgia and settled first in Camden 
County. From Camden they moved to Washington, thence to Montgomery County. 
Record is found in Montgomery County of a deed of gift dated Aug. 10, 1834, 
From Elmore Carter to his son, Willis, conveying land lot 39, 5th district 
of Cherokee County (drawn by him in the land lottery), also 75 head of 
stock cattle, household goods, etc.
Elmore Carter died in Montgomery County in 1836, and on March 16, 1836, 
George Dame applied for administration on his estate. The Carter plantation 
and all the personal estate was sold by the administrator Sept. 26, 1836, 
On Jan. 11, 1839, the administrator applied for dismission, having wound up 
the administration.

10.  JESSE3 CARTER (JESSE2, JACOB1) was born 1790 in South Carolina, and 
died Abt. 1858 in Georgia.  He married ELIZABETH WARREN, daughter of GEORGE 
WARREN, RS.  She was born 1790 in South Carolina.

Notes for JESSE CARTER:
Jesse Carter, commonly called "Jesse Tyg" Carter to distinguish him from 
others of his contemporaries of the same name, was born in Colleton 
District, South Carolina, in 1790, a son of Jesse Carter, Sr.  The elder 
Carter was the oldest of nine brothers and sisters and was born about 1750, 
possibly before, and was a Revolutionary soldier.  These brothers and 
sisters lived on or near the line of Colleton and Barnwell Districts, South 
Carolina, and Jesse settled on Little Saltketcher Creek about two miles 
above Carter's Ford.  It was there the subject of this sketch was born.
Jesse, the subject, married Elizabeth Warren, born 1790 in Colleton 
District, South Carolina.  She was a daughter of George Warren, R.S., and 
was a sister of Susan, the wife of Moses Prescott.

Mr. Carter moved with his family to South Georgia some years after others 
of his family connection moved here.  He moved from his old home in South 
Carolina direct to Lowndes County in 1829 and settled on the Alapahoochee 
Creek in present Echols County, where he lived until his death about 1858.
Mrs. Carter united with Union Primitive Baptist church September 10, 1831, 
by letter from Little Saltketcher Church located at Carter's Ford, South 
Carolina.  She died a member.
Mr. Carter served as a private in Capt. David R. Bryan's company of Lowndes 
County militia in the Indian War, in 1838.  He was a first cousin to Capt. 
Jesse Carter and Samuel Carter

11.  JESSE3 CARTER (GEORGE2, JACOB1) was born 1774 in South Carolina, and 
died 1847 in Lowndes, Georgia.  He married MARY TOUCHTON.  She was born 
1814 in South Carolina, and died Abt. 1858 in Georgia.

Notes for JESSE CARTER:
CAPT. JESSE CARTER, who commanded a company of Lowndes County militia in 
the Indian War in 1838, was born in South Carolina in 1774, son of George 
Carter, R. S.  He grew up on Saltketcher River in Colleton District, South 
Carolina, where he was married about 1798 to Mary (called "Molsy") 
Touchton, born in South Carolina.

In 1809, Jesse Carter, his father and several brothers and sisters with 
their respective families, all moved to Tattnall County, Georgia.  There 
Jesse Carter had 199 acres of land on Watermelon Creek surveyed for him 
August 10, 1809, and 631 acres adjoining on October 10, 1809, grants 
afterward issuing to him from the State for the same.  He sold the 631-acre 
tract to Samuel Slone, of Bryan County, July 25, 1815.  Ten years later, 
after his removal to Lowndes County, he deeded the 199-acre tract to John 
Duke December 27, 1825; deed executed in Lowndes County (see deed book "B", 
page 329, Tattnall County).
When Appling County was created and opened up to settlers in 1819, Jesse 
Carter with others of his family connection, moved from Tattnall County 
across the Altamaha River into the new county.  He acquired land about six 
miles southeast of old Holmesville, ante-bellum county-seat of Appling 
County.  The first term of Appling Superior Court was held at the Carter 
home in 1820, and the first election in the county was also held at his 
home, by legislative act; Mr. Carter was elected one of the first Justices 
of the Inferior Court at this election, and served until the next regular 
election the following year (1821).
One of the main objects in the Carters moving to Georgia was that they may 
find better pasturage for their herds of cattle.  In 1825, he sold out in 
Appling County and moved further southward, locating in the new county of 
Lowndes on the west side of the Alapaha River.  It is said he brought with 
him from Appling County 1260 head of cattle which were looked after by his 
sons, William and George, and several faithful slaves.
The Carter plantation became a large one, and was located about one and 
one-half miles south of the present town of Lakeland.  Mr. Carter gave the 
land for a "meeting-house" on the banks of the Alapaha River and a few 
months later, October 1st, 1825, Union Baptist Church was organized at 
"Carter's Meeting-house", becoming the first organized church in Lowndes 
County.  Although he gave the land and built the original building almost 
unaided by others, yet Mr. Carter does not appear by the church records to 
have ever been a member.  His wife was, however, a member.  She was 
baptized into the church membership December 8, 1827, and died a member.
Mr. Carter served in 1827 as Representative from Lowndes County to the 
General Assembly.  He raised a company of militia during the Indian 
troubles in 1838, and commanded it as Captain, July 1st to October 15, 
1838.
Due to the loss of Lowndes County records not much can be learned as to his 
estate.  The following is taken from an Appraisement Book for the period 
1846-1854, which was the only book saved from the Ordinary's Office when it 
was burned in the early 1870s.  The inventory of the estate was dated 
September 9, 1847, and showed 184 head of cattle, eight slaves, and Lots of 
Land Nos. 413, 414, 415, 416, 516, 11th District of original Irwin, now 
Lowndes.  The slaves were sold at public sale January 5, 1848, by the 
administrators, William Carter and James Carter; the lands were sold 
January 2, 1849 at public sale.  In each instance, the slaves and cattle 
were bid in by some of the heirs.  The home place became the property of 
the youngest daughter, Mrs. Darsey, and her mother continued to make her 
home there until her death sometime about 1858.

CARTER, JESSE (p. 38): (1st) He was named in a legislative resolution 
approved Nov. 15, 1822, as one of the commissioners to select a site for 
the public buildings in and for the County of Appling. (2nd) He was in a  
 similar resolution, approved Dec. 26, 1826, added to the commissioners 
previously appointed to select the county-site in Lowndes County. (3rd) He 
was appointed by the legislature Dee. 27, 1826, as one of the trustees to 
administer the "Poor School Fund" for Lowndes County.

12.  DAVID3 CARTER (GEORGE2, JACOB1) was born Abt. 1785 in South Carolina, 
and died Abt. 1825 in Georgia.  He married (1) UNK BAGGS.    He married (2) 
RACHEL COOPER June 01, 1811 in Georgia, daughter of RICHARD COOPER, RS. 
 She was born 1790 in Georgia, and died Abt. 1835 in Georgia.

Notes for DAVID CARTER:
David Carter was born about 1785 in Colleton District, S.C., a son of 
George Carter R.S., (Vol.III). He came with his parents to Tattnall County, 
Ga., soon after he was grown, and was married there to Rachel Cooper, born 
1790, daughter of Richard Cooper, R.S., of that county.

David Carter continued living in Tattnall after marriage, until 1819 when 
he was among the first to move over the Altamaha River into the new County 
of Appling. There he acquired land, built his home and cleared up a farm 
out of the virgin forests. In the hard work incidental to doing so he lost 
his health by overwork and prostration, and for the last four or five years 
of his fife he was virtually an invalid. He died about 1825. His "orphans" 
in 1826 registered for the State land lottery that took place the next 
year, and drew land. A few years later the widow and children moved back 
across the river to Liberty County to live, induced to do so by the 
hardships of frontier life. The children grew up and married there. The 
widow died there about 1835.
