CARTER, Isaac
1792-1881 LOWNDES

ISAAC CARTER was born in Colleton district, South Carolina, May 18, 1792, son of Elijah Carter. The latter died about 1875 at his home in Barnwell District, South Carolina, at the age of 107 years. In 1829-1830, Isaac with his brothers, John, Elijah and Samuel, moved to Lowndes County, Georgia, where others of the family connection had already moved. They settled on the west side of the Alapaha River in what is now Lanier and Lowndes counties, and Isaac settled near his cousin, Jesse Carter, and near Union Church on the banks of the Alapaha. Five acres of his land were given by Isaac Carter for the cemetery which is now at the church.
Isaac Carter married Mrs. Elizabeth Davis Ganos, widow of Benjamin Ganos, of South Carolina and mother of Capt. Benjamin C. Ganos, of Lowndes County, who commanded a company of Lowndes County militia during the Indian War. She was born June 10, 1788, and died June 28,1870, and was buried at Union Church (grave unmarked). To her and Isaac Carter were born only three children, all born in South Carolina:

1. John J. b. April 16, 1821, m. Angie Delores DeLoach, May 2, 1847.
2. Isaac W.b. May 10, 1826, m. Rachel Peters, daughter of William Peters, R. S.
3. Mariah b. April 17, 1829, m. James R. Allen, son of Richard.

These three children grew to maturity and married in Lowndes County and lived there all their lives except Mrs. Allen and her family. Mrs. Allen and her family later moved across the Alapaha River into what was formerly Clinch but now Lanier County, where she died.
The late J. P. Carter, of Naylor, and I. W. Allen, of Stockton, were grandsons of Isaac and Elizabeth Carter.
Mrs. Carter was a member of Union Church and was baptized into its membership December 12, 1829. She died a member.
After his first wife's death, Isaac Carter, over the objections of his sons, married again. His second wife was Miss Pollie Cox, born 1848 in Georgia, daughter of Samuel D. Cox, and she at the time of marriage was only about 25 or 26 years old and he was about 78 or 79 years old. There were two children by the second wife. Due to differences arising between him and his sons concerning his second marriage, the elder Carter sold out his fine two-story home and farm in the Naylor district of Lowndes county about 1875 and moved to Florida where he died May 1, 1881. Descendants here today have lost trace of the two children by the last marriage and do not remember their names or where they lived.

Jacob Carter
About 1720 - After 1790

The parents of Jacob Carter are truly unknown at this time. Jacob was not identified in Joseph Lyon Miller's book, "The Descendants of Capt. Thomas Carter of "Barford", Lancaster County, Virginia" however the Chinkypin by Dorothy Price states Thomas Jr is his father based on two other books and Mary Ketus Deen Holland states Moore Carter is his father and Thomas Carter Jr is his grandfather. The assumptions in the books "Chinkypin" and "Our Heritage: A Genealogy of the Descendants of Jacob Carter of South Carolina" are incorrect on the Ancestor(s) of Jacob.

We now know Jacob has been misidentified as the son of Moore Carter. A Moore Carter did have a son named Jacob Carter of about the same age as this Jacob Carter, but Moore's son, Jacob, died in North Carolina, and never lived in South Carolina. DNA evidence also proves that this Jacob Carter is not a descendant of the Carter family to which Moore Carter belongs. The mis-identification of Jacob as Moore's son goes back almost 100 years, but DNA proof now definitely proves Jacob of South Carolina is not the son of Moore (email from Dale M. Crawford September 15, 2014.)

Jacob Carter, the intended subject and father of Elijah, was born about 1720 in South Carolina. He was enumerated in the 1790 U.S. Census of residing in St Bartholomews Parish, Charleston District, SC. At that time only he and his wife along with one slave are listed within the home.
