Jesse Carter, removed from Lancaster after 1760.
Jesse Carter, appeared in the Lancaster records next after the settlement of his father's estate as, "Jesse Carter of the Parish of Christ Church, Lancaster, Schoolmaster when on Dec. 8, 1749, he sold to Col. James Gordon 125 acres of land on Corotoman River that had descended to him from his grandfather, Capt. Thomas Carter. At this time he was unmarried, but in the next year he is said to have married Susan Satterwhite, or Satherwaite, of whose parentage no record has been locaied. That is a name that is found but occasionally in Virginia records, and Mr. Crozier in his Index to Southern Pedigrees of more than twenty thousand family histories and genealogical notes failed to find one of this family. By this marriage he had a son, Jesse, and daughters, Margaret and Frances. This wife died and Jesse Carter was married to Mary Chattin, prior to Dec. 6, 1760, when she joined him in a deed to William Griggs for their home place on Corotoman River when they were about to remove to Cumberland county. Mary Chattin was probablv a daughter of Joseph Chattin, of Lancaster, who was one of the processioners of the land in the parish in 1743. She was probably connected with the Chewning family as Chattin Chewning was a processioner in 1747. A search of the Lancaster records for wills of Chattin and Satterwhite might throw some light on the parentage of Jesse Carter's two wives. As said before, Jesse Carter removed his family from Lancaster about 1760-1761 to his part of his father's land in Cumberland county, where they lived until 1781, when they removed to Pittsylvania. he was living in 1782 as the head of a family of ten whites and seventeen colored servants. In 1785 he purchased thirteen hundred acres of land lying: on both sides of Bannister River, Pittsylvania, built a fine house, called the place, Oakland and settled down for the rest of his life. This old place is now owned by his great grandson, Jesse Lawson Carter, and is situated about four miles from Chatham, the county seat. Jesse Carter of Oakland, made his will Dec. 11, 1805, probated Dec. 11, 181 1. He left a fine estate in land, negroes, etc., to wife, Mary Chattin Carter, and his eight children, four of whom only shared in the residuary estate, as he had provided them their share of his property before he died. Jesse Carter had issue as follows :
Jesse Carter, died in 1815 in Caswell county, N. C.

Margaret, married Samuel Thompson of Pittsylvania.

CARTER, Jesse.CAPT. JESSE CARTER, who commanded a company of Lowndes County militia in the Indian War in 1838, was born in South Carolina in 1774, son of George Carter, R. S. He grew up on Saltketcher River in Colleton District, South Carolina, where he was married about 1798 to Mary (called "Molsy") Touchton, born in South Carolina To them were born the following children:

In 1809, Jesse Carter, his father and several brothers and sisters with their respective families, all moved to Tattnall County, Georgia. There Jesse Carter had 199 acres of land on Watermelon Creek surveyed for him August 10, 1809, and 631 acres adjoining on October 10, 1809, grants afterward issuing to him from the State for the same. He sold the 631-acre tract to Samuel Slone, of Bryan County, July 25, 1815. Ten years later, after his removal to Lowndes County, he deeded the 199-acre tract to John Duke December 27, 1825; deed executed in Lowndes County (see deed book "B", page 329, Tattnall County).
When Appling County was created and opened up to settlers in 1819, Jesse Carter with others of his family connection, moved from Tattnall County across the Altamaha River into the new county. He acquired land about six miles southeast of old Holmesville, ante-bellum county-seat of Appling County. The first term of Appling Superior Court was held at the Carter home in 1820, and the first election in the county was also held at his home, by legislative act; Mr. Carter was elected one of the first Justices of the Inferior Court at this election, and served until the next regular election the following year (1821).
One of the main objects in the Carters moving to Georgia was that they may find better pasturage for their herds of cattle. In 1825, he sold out in Appling County and moved further southward, locating in the new county of Lowndes on the west side of the Alapaha River. It is said he brought with him from Appling County 1260 head of cattle which were looked after by his sons, William and George, and several faithful slaves.
The Carter plantation became a large one, and was located about one and one-half miles south of the present town of Lakeland. Mr. Carter gave the land for a "meeting-house" on the banks of the Alapaha River and a few months later, October 1st, 1825, Union Baptist Church was organized at "Carter's Meeting-house", becoming the first organized church in Lowndes County. Although he gave the land and built the original building almost unaided by others, yet Mr. Carter does not appear by the church records to have ever been a member. His wife was, however, a member. She was baptized into the church membership December 8, 1827, and died a member.
Mr. Carter served in 1827 as Representative from Lowndes County to the General Assembly. He raised a company of militia during the Indian troubles in 1838, and commanded it as Captain, July 1st to October 15, 1838.
Due to the loss of Lowndes County records not much can be learned as to his estate. The following is taken from an Appraisement Book for the period 1846-1854, which was the only book saved from the Ordinary's Office when it was burned in the early 1870s. The inventory of the estate was dated September 9, 1847, and showed 184 head of cattle, eight slaves, and Lots of Land Nos. 413, 414, 415, 416, 516, 11th District of original Irwin, now Lowndes. The slaves were sold at public sale January 5, 1848, by the administrators, William Carter and James Carter; the lands were sold January 2, 1849 at public sale. In each instance, the slaves and cattle were bid in by some of the heirs. The home place became the property of the youngest daughter, Mrs. Darsey, and her mother continued to make her home there until her death sometime about 1858.

CARTER, JESSE W.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, borit 1822, daughter of Barzilla Staten (Vol. I). They never had any children.
1822-1862
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.
