Notes for SAMUEL CARTER, SR:
SAMUEL CARTER, a son of Elijah Carter and first cousin to Capt. Jesse 
Carter (q. v.), was born January 13, 1796, in Colleton district, South 
Carolina, near the Barnwell district line.  Elijah Carter lived to be 107 
years old and died about 1875-1880 in Barnwell district, South Carolina, 
where he lived.  Samuel's sister, Rebecca, married Levi Drawdy, of Barnwell 
district, and moved to Lowndes county, also his brothers, Isaac, John and 
Elijah.  All removed to Lowndes county at the same time (about 1829) that 
Samuel Carter came.  They settled near the Alapaha River on the west side, 
and Samuel later bought land on the south side of Banks Pond where he had a 
large plantation and lived until his death January 11, 1894, age 97 years, 
11 months and 28 days.  Samuel married Mary Lee, born 1796, in Barnwell 
district, South Carolina  She was a sister of Joshua and Jesse Lee, who 
also came to Georgia from Barnwell District, South Carolina and lived in 
old Lowndes County.  She died about 1865, and Samuel Carter later married a 
widow, Mrs. Nelson of Berrien County, but there was no issue.

Mr. and Mrs. Carter were both baptized into membership of Union Primitive 
Baptist Church, February 11, 1832.  She died a member but he appears to 
have been excluded (date not shown).  Both were buried at Union Church.
Mr. Carter served in the War of 1812, also in the Indian War in 1838 as a 
private in Capt. Jesse Carter's company of Lowndes County militia.

CARTER, SAMUEL (p. 43). He served as a private under Capt. Samuel E. 
Swilley in the 2nd Regiment, Florida militia, Indian War, June 16 to Dec. 
16, 1837. (2) News item in The Valdosta Times of Jan. 13, 1894:

" 'Uncle Sammy Carter', aged and honored citizen of Lowndes County, died at 
his residence in the northeastern portion of the county at one o'clock 
Thursday morning last. If he had lived until to-day (Saturday) he would 
have been 98 years old. Mr. Carter came to Irwin, now Lowndes County, 68 
years ago and settled on the place where he died. He moved once over the 
Alapaha River a few miles away but the next year moved back to the original 
settlement. He was born and raised in Barnwell District, S. C., and was 
sixteen years old when the War of 1812
broke out. He served in the American Army during the latter part of that 
war, and fought in the Indian War of 1836.  Mr. Carter was the father of 
nine children, and his grand and great grandchildren are almost 
innumerable. He was a quiet peace loving, unassuming, law-abiding citizen 
and a mem ber of the Primitive Baptist Church . . . His father (Elijah 
Carter) lived to the advanced age of 107 years and died In South Carolina 
not many years ago since the War. Uncle Sammy's end was peaceful and 
painless. He died away like a child falling to sleep . . .
Since the above was put in type, Mr. Q. L. Carter of Valdosta, a grandson 
of Uncle Sammy, received a telegram announcing the death in Colquitt County 
of Mr. Griffin Carter, Uncle Sammy's second son; he was about 72 years old. 
The telegram announced that the body would be brought to his father's for 
the burial on Saturday (today). His family had not heard of the death of 
Uncle Sammy, The father at the age of 98 and the son at the age of 72, died 
on the same day."
The Hon. H, D. O'Quin wrote a series of articles in The Valdosta Times in 
1889 dealing with his recollections of the Carter family, his grandmother 
being a Carter, He himself spent his boyhood in Barnwell District, S, C., 
where the family lived, some of them living in adjoining Colleton District. 
With reference to Samuel Carter and his father, Elijah, he wrote in the 
issue of March 2, 1889:

"Old Uncle Elijah Carter was a very -large, tall, bony man, rather 
stoop-shouldered, long-arms, large hands and feet, long face, high-cheek 
bones, small eyes and large ears, and generally considered to be the best 
man for manhood in -the county at that time. I don't know how many children 
he raised; four of his sons, Isaac, John, Elijah and Samuel, settled In 
Lowndes County between 1830 and 1840; all of them raised large families. 
Old Uncle Samuel, now in his 93rd year is still living on his old place on 
the east side of Banks Pond.  Old Uncle Elijah's death was caused by some 
dogs jerking him backwards off from Phillip Carter's steps, by his 
coat-tail and breaking his back, when in his 103rd year of age . . . . ."
