" '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 some 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 . . . . ."

CARTER, WILLIAM (p. 63): (1) The year of birth given as 1795, was based on 
his age as shown by the 1850 Census; but it is evident that he was older

were married June 1, 1811, in Tattnall County (their marriage license being 
of record there).

March 4, 1862, in a company then being raised in Echols county for the 50th 
Regiment, but insufficient men in the county being available those who 
volunteered were assigned to companies from other counties; thus, he served 
in Co. "C", 50th Regiment, a Lowndes county company. The published roll 
shows he died in Savannah, July 29, 1862, evidently of disease. His body 
was brought home and buried as was stated.

McCauley Carter, 1812-1875.
