PENELOPE STATEN, 1839; d. August 23, 1885.

Notes for JESSE W CARTER:
Jesse W. Carter was born in Appling County in 1822, oldest child of William 
and Nannie Monk Carter. He was a grandson of Capt. Jesse Carter (Vol. 1). 
He was brought by his parents to Lowndes County in infancy and grew up in 
the present Naylor district. He was married in 1839 to Miss Penelope 
Staten, born 1822, daughter of Barzilla Staten (Vol. I). They never had any 
children.
Mr. Carter lived on lot of land 464, llth land district of Lowndes County, 
which was placed in Clinch County in its formation in 1850, and is now in 
Lanier County.
He served as Justice of Peace in the 661st district of Lowndes County, 
1841-1845, and again 1846-1849. The next year Clinch was formed and that 
part of the old 661st district of Lowndes in the new county, was made into 
the 1052nd district (now known as the Stockton district); and Mr. Carter 
was elected one of the two Justices of Peace in the new district, serving 
1850-1852 and 1855-1857. He served 1856-1857 as Receiver of Tax Returns of 
Clinch County. He also served as the first Postmaster at Carter's Bridge 
(forerunner of the Stockton postoffice), 1858-1860.
An advertisement in "The Southern Recorder" in April, 1852, was published 
by Mr. Carter offering his property for sale, and describing it as being 
located on the Alapaha River about five miles from where the proposed 
railroad was to cross the river; Together with "a first-rate sawmill, 
grist-mill and cotton-gin; water-power for the mills and gin was obtained 
by two dams, using the water twice; mills are new". The other improvements 
consisted of about 50 acres in cultivation, residence and other 
cutbuildings. The sale never did take place. Apparently, Mr. Carter thought 
his property was too remote from the railroad and wanted to sell. However, 
the railroad which was a proposed one from Brunswick through old Milltown 
and Morven on to Thomasville, never did materialize. Six years later, the 
present railroad was surveyed through from Savannah to Thomasville, and was 
built through in 1859-60, and came within less than two miles of the Carter 
mills and farm.
Mr. Carter was a member of the Masonic order. He first received his degrees 
in 1854 when he became a charter member of the St. John the Baptist Lodge, 
No. 184, at old Troupville. He was demitted in 1857 and became a charter 
member of the new Alapaha Lodge, No. 209, at Statenville. He served as the 
first Worshipful Master of that lodge, 1857 and 1858. He then transferred 
and became a member of Butler Lodge, No. 211, at old Milltown in 1859; in 
1866, he transferred his membership again, and became a charter member of 
the new Stockton Lodge No. 266. He served as Junior Steward of that lodge 
in 1868. He died a member about 1871.
Mrs. Carter was a member of Union Primitive Baptist Church, and was 
baptized into its membership Nov. 8, 1861. She died a member August 23, 
1885. Both she and her husband were buried at Union Church.
Mr. Carter served in the Indian War as Ist Sergeant in the militia company 
commanded by his grandfather, Capt. Jesse Carter, in 1838. He volunteered 
in the first company to be raised in Clinch County for service in the 
Confederate Army (Co. "H", 29th Georgia Vol. Inf. Regiment), and served 
through the war.
