Notes
General:
GEORGE CARTER, RS
:
George Carter, the ancestor of several thousand Wiregrass Georgians, was born probably in South Carolina. No dates are obtainable for his birth and death, neither can the maiden name of his wife be learned. That he was born about 1740, is to be inferred from the fact that he served in the Cherokee Expedition in 1759-1760 in South Carolina; and he was living in 1820 in Appling County when he participated in the Georgia Land Lottery of that year. The following is a list of ten known children of George Carter as given by Hon. H. D. O'Quin (1815-1900) who personally knew these ten.

George Carter was a Revolutionary soldier in South Carolina. He served in the St. Bartholomew's Parrish Volunteer Company during 1775 (Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution by Bobby Gilmer Moss pg 153)


His home was in Colleton County, St. Bartholomew's Parish, at or near Carter's Ford on the Little Saltehatchee River. He was the third son of Jacob Carter; the latter had a family of six
sons and four daughters all of whom lived in the vicinity of Carter's Ford except the oldest, Jesse Carter, who in 1790, was living in Georgetown District.

About 1808, George Carter and his brothers, Jesse and David and also Jacob, William and James Carter, cousins and others ofthe family connection, moved to Tattnall County and settled mostly on or near the Ohoopee River where George Carter bought 575 acres Jan. 17, 1809, from Samuel Parrish, and another adjoining tract of 575 acres from Phillip Griner of Screven County on Oct. 25, 1809. Two years later, he acquired another tract when on Nov. 2, 1811, 1000 acres was surveyed for him and soon after was granted him by the State; this land laid on the Ohoopee also. That he was a man of some affluence is to be inferred by these large landholdings. In 1819, when Appling County which laid across the Altamaha River from Tattnall County then as now, was opened to settlers, most of the sons of George Carter moved into the new county and settled there. In 1820, he was living in Tattnall in the 1820 census but appears listed as a resident of Appling in the Land Lottery of that year, being listed as George Carter, Sr. These circumstances indicate he moved to Appling that year (1820). His death occurred there about two years later, age about 80 years.
Record is found in the deed records at Charleston, S. C., of deed of gift dated April 7, 1787, from Jacob Carter to his son, George Carter, for a tract of 50 acres on Little Swamp on the east side of Little Saltehatchee (St Barts Parrish), which had previously been granted the elder Carter (Deed Book Y-5, page 35). Both father and son were identified in the deed as residents of St. Bartholomew's Parish, Colleton County. The 1790 Census showed Jacob Carter and his wife to be living alone, and George Carter's family consisted of self and wife, seven boys under 16, and two girls.
