PREFACE.
In 18S7 a genealogy of two of the sons of Samuel, oldest son of
the Rev. Thomas Carter, first minister of Woburn, Mass., was
published by Mrs. Clara A. Carter of Leominster, Mass., and Mrs.
Sarah A. Carter of Fitzwilliam, N. H. This publication was de-
signed to be merely a contribution to the history of the Carter
Family, and was collected and arranged for the Carter Family
Association, an organization formed at the general Reunion of the
Carter Family at Woburn, Mass., in 1884. This Association unfortu-
nately was not maintained, but the present volume is also issued as a
further contribution to the history of another branch of the same
family, namely, Thomas 3 Carter, son of Thomas^ Carter, youngest
son and child of Rev. Thomas ' Carter.
It is to be regretted that a complete record of the descendants of
the other sons of Thomas^ Carter could not have been included in
this volume, but the preparation of such a work by the present
writer has been entirely out of the question.
He has, however, gathered and preserved all facts concerning the
descendants of the other sons which have come under his notice,
and most of them are herewith presented. It is to be hoped that
at no distant day a complete genealogy of the descendants of the
Rev. Thomas Carter may be prepared, and that then these partial
records may be perfected and incorporated into a general history of
the family. It is known that a large amount of additional material
for such a work has been collected by different individuals, chiefly
descendants of Samuel % since the publication of the book referred to
above in 1887, and all who are interested in the family history should
without delay write down in permanent form family records or facts
of interest with which they may be familiar before they are forgotten
or it may be lost forever.
In the present volume only the briefest account of the various
individuals has been given, and without doubt many errors, especially
PREFACE. 5
in the matter of dates, will be found, for as is usual in such cases,
statistics of the same family furnished by different individuals do not
agree with each other or with the records of the town or church.
The writer will be grateful, however, to have his attention called to
such or any other errors that may be detected, and a careful record
of them will be kept.
To the many correspondents and others who have given aid and
encouragement in the preparation of this book, the compiler would
return heartiest thanks ; merely to have made the acquaintance of
many of them by correspondence, so to say, has been in a large
measure compensation for the labor involved in the undertaking, and
it has been a privilege indeed to meet personally some who but for
this work would doubtless have remained strangers still. To all who
bear the name or inherit the blood of the common ancestor, the
compiler extends warmest greetings.
Special acknowledgment is due to the skillful and accomplished
genealogist, Miss L. Belle Hamlin, at present Librarian of the His-
torical and Philosophical Society of Ohio at Cincinnati, for assistance
in various ways, and particularly for establishing the ancestry of
Thomas3 Carter (N. E. Hist, and Gen. Reg., Vol. LV, p. 223;, and
for tracing the line of his second wife, Sarah Gilbert. Miss HamHn
is a great-granddaughter of Major Lorenzo Carter (48), one of the
first settlers of Cleveland, O.
But more than to all others combined, the compiler is indebted to
his wife, Mrs. Nellie Russell Cordis Carter, without whose constant
and unfailing aid and encouragement during all the years, the work
would never have been carried to completion.
In making acknowledgments, the care and patience of the printers,
Messrs. C. B. Fiske & Co. of Palmer, Mass., should be mentioned,
and there is no doubt but the excellence of their work, as also that
of the James B. McKinnon Photo Engraving Company of Spring-
field, Mass., and of the binder, Mr. W.J. Eldred, also of Springfield,
will be appreciated by all judges of good bookmaking.
EXPLANATORY NOTE.
The general plan of this Genealogy is as follows : It includes, so
far as ascertained, (a) all persons bearing the name of Carter of this
line ; (b) the names of all persons who have married these Carters,
with the names of their parents ; (c) the names of all children of
Carter females, with the record of their families carried out, when
known, at least one generation. Great pains has been taken to give
exact date and place of all births, marriages and deaths, but without
doubt many errors and omissions occur. Humanum est errare ;
particularly so, it would seem, in matters genealogical.
As to the details of the plan : — The emigrant ancestor, Rev.
Thomas Carter, is numbered i. At the left of the names of his
children (pp. 17 and 18), as in all similar cases throughout the book,
the Roman numerals, i, ii, iii, etc., indicate the order of birth.
The Arabic numerals, 2, 3, 4, etc., which also appear at the left
of some names of children, indicate that such child married, and an
account of that family will be found under the corresponding number
on a subsequent page. The small superior figures denote the
generation, the emigrant ancestor being reckoned as the first.
Thus Thomas^ Carter, the son of the emigrant, appears on page
18 as the eighth child of his father. Rev. Thomas' Carter, and the
number 2, prefixed to his name, shows that he is taken up again.
On the same page below, under the heading, " Second Generation,"
his history is given, and prefixed to the name of his second child,
Thomas, the number 3 appears.
Turning forward to page 19, we find the history of Thomas 3
Carter under the number 3. And so on with his children as found
on page 27. To trace one's ancestral line backward, the process
above described is simply reversed. It should be noted that all the
descendants of the five sons of Thomas^ Carter, — Thomas 3,
Eleazer3, Daniel 3, Ebenezer3 and Ezra 3, — are given by themselves,
the descendants of Thomas 3 being finished before those of the next
oldest brother are taken up.
The ordinary abbreviations are used, as follows : b., born ; d.,
died ; m., married ; unm., unmarried ; ae., aged ; dau., daughter ;
res., residence or resided ; T. S., tombstone ; J. P., Justice of the
Peace ; Reg., New England Historic Genealogical Register.

REV. THOMAS CARTER.
The birthplace and the parentage of the Rev. Thomas' Carter,
first minister of Woburn, Mass., cannot be stated with certainty, but
there is no reasonable doubt that he was a native of Suffolk County,
England, and there is ground for the belief that he was the son of
James Carter, yeoman, of Hinderclay, Suffolk County, whose will,
dated August, 1625, proved Oct. i, 1625, is on file at Bury
St. Edmunds. For a full discussion of this matter, the reader is
referred to an article contributed by the writer to the Boston
Evening Transcript, June i, 1904.
Early genealogists not unnaturally assumed that the Rev. Thomas
Carter was identical with the Thomas Carter who embarked at
London April 2, 1635, on board The Planter, Nicholas Trerice,
master, with a number of others from St. Albans, Hertfordshire,
bound for New England. Later investigations, however, show quite
conclusively that the Thomas Carter who came over in the Planter
settled in Salisbury, Mass., although his age as given in the record of
the Planter, twenty-five, corresponds exactly with that of the Rev.
Thomas Carter as calculated from the record of his death, Sept. 5,
1874, " in the 74th year of his age."
This statement, however, like many early records of age at time
of death, is very likely incorrect, but it is an unfortunate fact for
the investigator that there were among the early settlers no fewer
than four Thomas Carters, — three of them in New England, — all
arriving about the same time and all of about the same age. These
are: (i) Rev. Thomas Carter, first minister of Woburn, Mass.;
(2) Thomas Carter of the Planter, who settled in Salisbury, Mass.;
(3) Thomas Carter, eldest son of Thomas Carter, blacksmith, of
Charlestown, who deposed, 1662, that he was about fifty-two years
old, and hence born about 1610; and (4) Thomas Carter, aged
lO REV. THOMAS CARTER.
twenty-five, who embarked from London in the Safety, Aug. lo,
1635, for Virginia, on which ship also came John Carter, aged
twenty-two, by many supposed to be the ancestor of the so-called
"Virginia Carters." It may be here remarked that this Thomas
Carter is not heard of later in Virginia, and there are some grounds
for believing that John and Thomas Carter, who came to Virginia in
1635, if not brothers, were related, John, being a strong supporter of
the Church of England, remaining in Virginia, while Thomas, the
Puritan from Cambridge University, went to New England.
Among the reasons for believing that John and Thomas Carter of
Virginia were in some way related are the following : —
(1) Among early descendants of the Rev. Thomas Carter is
found the same coat of arms as that claimed by the Virginia
Carters.
(2) There was frequent communication between Virginia and
Massachusetts in the early days. For example, at the time of the
installation of Rev. Thomas Carter at Woburn, 1642, the Rev. Mr.
Knowles, assistant pastor of the church in Watertown, from which
Mr. Carter came, "was absent on a special mission to preach the
gospel in Virginia."
(3) As before remarked, no more is heard of Thomas Carter,
who came to Virginia in the Planter.
But returning to accepted facts, we find that the Rev. Thomas
Carter was matriculated a sizar of St. John's College, Cambridge
University, April i, 1626, at which university he took the degree of
Bachelor of Arts in January, 1629/30, and that of Master of Arts in
1633. In June, 1900, while the writer was on a visit to Cambridge,
the following entry was found among the old records of St. John's
College. It occurs in a list of students who secured scholarships at
the university, and is dated Nov. 5, 1628 :
" Ego Thomas Carter Suffolciensis admissus sum discipulus hujus
coUegij pro magistro Spaldinge." (I Thomas Carter, of Suffolk, am
admitted as a student of this College on the Spalding scholarship.)
The Spalding scholarship was founded by William Spalding,
yeoman, of Tamwarth, in Suffolk, who gave jQ()0, and stipulated
that the scholar was to be chosen from Bury St. Edmunds Grammar
School, an institution founded by King Edward VI in 1550.
According to the Bursar of St. John's College, Mr. R. F. Scott,
who very courteously made search and discovered the above entry,
REV. THOMAS CARTER. II
the record proves that the holder of the scholarship was not only
a resident of Suffolk at the time, but that he was also a native of the
county, A comparison of photographic copies of the pages of the
Cambridge University Record book showing the signatures of Thomas
Carter when he took the degree of B. A. in 1629, and of M. A. in
1633, and of the above entry, with similar copies of manuscript
known to be in the handwriting of the Rev. Thomas Carter of
Woburn, Mass., is interesting as going to prove the identity of the
writer.
It may here be remarked that further and careful search of the
records at Cambridge, and at Bury St. Edmunds, by Mr. Vincent B.
Redstone of Woodbridge, Suffolk, secretary of the Suffolk
Archaeological Institute, and a genealogist of wide reputation, failed
to discover additional information concerning the subject of this
sketch.
In this connection it is interesting to note that the Rev. Thomas
Carter was for several years (i 628-1 633) a fellow student at
Cambridge University with the Rev. John Harvard, the founder of
Harvard College, and that both afterward came to America and
were settled in neighboring communities. It is more than probable
that these young men were well acquainted while at the university.
It is certain that a similarity of tastes and inclinations led them to
emigrate to New England at about the same time, both entering
the ministry. Both were made freemen of the Colony of
Massachusetts in the same year, 1637.
So far as the writer knows, the next authentic knowledge of Mr.
Carter is the fact of his being admitted a freeman of Dedham,
Mass., March 9, 1636/7, (April 25, 1637, O. 8.) being "presented"
by Philemon Dalton. (Dedham Records.)
His residence here, however, was brief, for previous to the
formation of the church in Dedham, 1638, John Allin, afterwards
chosen first minister of Dedham, " moved to y^ Pastour of
watertowne y' seeing divers of ther members lived with us & mr.
Carter one of them had exercised some good time ther & knew
y*= people better than I, that therefore it would please ther church
to dismisse m"" Carter & such other of ther members as they
judged meete to prepare with us such as should be thought fitt for
y^ laying of y^ foundation of a church society amonst us, but for
some reasons he did not judge it either needful! or according to
12 REV. THOMAS CARTER.
order to dismisse any but unto a settled church & so refused
y^ request." From the above and other records it would appear
that Thomas Carter had "exercised" his spiritual gifts already in
Dedham, and at this time was filling the office of Elder in the
church at Watertown, for the church records of Dedham, a year or
two later, refer to "ye elders of Watertowne in a letter subscribed by
nV Philip pastour ; m^ Carter m"^ How elders, testifying y' y^ church
ther" gave power to certain of their members residing in Dedham
to unite with the Dedham church.
In Watertown Thomas Carter was granted a homestall of ten acres
and, in 1642, a farm of 92 acres and a lot in the town plot.
The estimation in which he was held in Watertown may be
inferred from the fact that it is noted in the Woburn Town Records
that he had not been applied to sooner because " it had been
doubted whether Watertown would be willing to part with him."
Mr. Carter preached in Woburn for the first time Dec. 4, 1641,
this being the second service of public worship ever held in the new
town, and took for his text a passage in Gen. xxii, of which sermon
the town record says, " incouraging to trust in the Lord for the
Means." This discourse or his previous reputation seems to have
made a favorable impression upon the people of Woburn, for the
Town Records state :
" 1641, Dec. 19. They now all at Mr Carter, who was very
backward to promise anything, but only to bee helpfull to them at
sum tims which was very seldom."
" 1642, March i. They went to Mr. Carter, who was very shy in
promising helpe constantly."
"April II. Some now went to Mr. Philips, (minister of Water-
town) who did not incouridge them about Mr. Carter."
"April 14. Mr. Carter was intreated to spend a day of
humiliation amongst them, after the which they had sum good
encouragement, and he helped them too Sabbath days together
after it."
" May 4. They moved for a dismission from Charlestown church
upon sum hope they had of Mr. Carter's help."
"Aug. 14. A Church gathered at Woburn. Mr. Knowles,
(assistant pastor of Watertown) Mr. Allen, (pastor of Dedham) Mr.
Symes, Mr. Carter and divers other godly and faithful ministers of
REV. THOMAS CARTER. 1 3
Christ held out the wright hand of fellowship in the name of the
other Churches."
After much persuasion, Mr. Carter finally yielded a reluctant
consent and became the first minister in Woburn, being ordained
November 22, 1642.
In Winthrop's "History of New England from 1630 to 1649," is
given the following account of the ceremony : —
"The village at the end of Charlestown bounds, was called
Woburn when they gathered a church, and this day Mr Carter was
ordained their pastor with the assistance of the elders of other
Churches ; some difference ther was about his ordination ; some
advising in regard they had no elder of their own, nor any members
fit to solemnize such an ordinance, they would desire some of the
elders of the other Churches to have performed it ; but others
supposing it might be an occasion of introducing a dependancy of
Churches, etc., and so a presbytery, would not allow it, so it was
performed by one of their own members, but not so well or orderly
as it ought."
Capt. Edward Johnson, one of the principal founders both of the
church and the town, was present on this occasion, and thus
describes the manner of the ordination in his " Wonder Working
Providence" (published in 1654) :
" After he (Thomas Carter) had exercised in preaching and
prayer the greater part of the day, two persons in the name of the
Church laid their hands upon his head and said. We ordain thee
Thomas Carter to be Pastor of this Church of Christ : then one of
the elders present, desired of the Church, continued in prayer unto
the Lord for his more especial assistance, of this his servant in his
work, being a charge of such weighty importance as is the glory of
God and the salvation of souls, that the very thought would make a
man to tremble in the sense of his own inability to the work."
At his ordination, the town presented him with a house, which
they built for his use, and also engaged to give him a salary of ^80
annually, one-fourth of which was to be in silver, the remainder in
various necessaries of life, at current prices.
This compensation was increased in 1674 by the grant of twenty
cords of wood annually, to be delivered at his door.
From the time of his ordination, Mr. Carter ministered constantly
to this people without aid for thirty-six years, when the Rev. Jabez
14 REV. THOMAS CARTER.
Fox was chosen assistant pastor. He continued in the service with
Mr. Fox for six years more until his death in 1684, thus making the
entire period of his ministry at Woburn more than forty- two years.
As to the personal characteristics of the Rev. Thomas Carter,
Johnson, in his "Wonder Working Providence," above quoted, speaks
of him as a " reverend Godly Man, apt to teach the sound and
wholesome truths of Christ ;" and one who had " much encreased
with the encreasings of Christ Jesus."
Sewell, in his History of Woburn, says : " Mr. Carter appears to
have lived secluded in great measure from the world ; and hence he
is seldom if ever named in history among the eminent clergymen of
his day. Still there is abundant evidence that he was a very pious,
exemplary man, an able and sound preacher of the gospel, and one
whom God honored and prospered in his work. Under his
ministrations, the church was greatly enlarged and built up, and the
town flourished, and was for the most part in peace." By another
it is said of him : "During his ministry, which was prolonged more
than forty-two years, there appears to have been the greatest
harmony between him and the society." In the following lines
addressed to him in the "Wonder Working Providence," Mr. Carter
is represented as a plain, but faithful and successful minister ; a
pastor of distinguished humility and meekness, and in gentleness
toward his flock, as rather exceeding than otherwise :
"Carter, Christ hath his wayes thee taught, and thou
Hast not witheld his Word, but unto all
With's word of power dost cause stout souls to bow,
And meek as lambs before thy Christ to fall :
The antient truths, plain paths, they fit thee best,
Thy humble heart all haughty acts puts by;
The lowly heart, Christ learns his lovely hest,
Thy meekness shews thy Christ to thee is nigh.
Yet must thou shew, Christ makes his bold to be
As lions, that none may his truths tread down ;
Pastoral power he hath invested thee
With ; it maintain, leest he on thee do frown.
Thy youth thou hast in this New England spent.
Full sixteen years to water, plant and prune
Trees taken up, and for that end here sent ;
Thy end's with Christ; with's saints his praises tune."
Mr. Carter died September 5, 1684, and from the fact that his

will, which is on record in the Middlesex Probate Ofifice, is nuncupa-
tive, — that is, verbal, not written, — it is conjectured that his last
sickness must have been very sudden and brief, and two items in the
bill for his funeral expenses suggest that it may have been some
malignant disease. The bill was presented to the selectmen October
6, 1684, and at a general meeting of the inhabitants on the same
day, by unanimous vote, it was ordered paid. It was also voted that
the rate for Mr. Carter's salary should " be compleated and payd for
this yeare as formerly." The bill follows :

There is little doubt that Mary, wife of the Rev. Thomas Carter,
was Mary Parkhurst, daughter of George Parkhurst Sr. of Watertown
and Boston, and that she was baptized in Ipswich, Suffolk County,
England, August 28, 1614. If so she was daughter of Phebe, the
first wife of George Parkhurst. Among the reasons for this belief
are the following :
(i). She is associated in the Ruth Dalton deed with known children of
George I Parkhurst. Reg. xxvii, p. 364.
(2). George I Parkhurst had a daughter, Mary, baptized in Ipswich,
England, Aug. 28, 161 4, where he had eight other children baptized and the
names of six of the baptized children appear in the Dalton deed, — that is,
the Christian names are the same.
She died at Woburn, March 28, 1687. (Reg. xvii, p. 51.)
No record of the marriage of Rev. Thomas Carter and Mary
Parkhurst has been found, but their first child, Samuel, was born in
Watertown, Aug. 8, 1640.

2. Thomas 2 Carter {Rev. Thomas ■) was born in Woburn, Mass.,
June 8, 1655. The exact date of his death is not known, but he
was living at least as late as Sept. 21, 1722, when he and his wife,
Margery, acknowledged a deed originally given by them in 1688.
He is described in deeds as " husbandman," and was evidently
possessed of considerable lands, some of which were given him by
his father. In September, 1713, he deeds to son Eleazer a dwelling
house, barn, etc., and 25 acres of land with garden and orchards
bounded by land of " my brother, Timothy Carter." Other deeds
are recorded (as under Thomas Carter) but no will has been found.
He married in 1682, Margaret (or Margery) Whittemore, (or
Whitmore), b. Sept. 9, 1668, d. Oct. 5, 1734, dau. of Francis

3. Thomas 3 Carter {Thomas ^^ Rev. Thomas^) was born in
Woburn June 13, 1668. In 1710 his father conveyed land to him
on " Reading Line," the deed being signed also by his mother,
" Margaret Carter." In a deed dated 1611 he is called "Thomas
Carter of Reading, Wheelwright."
He married (i) at Reading, Feb. 19, 17 13, Abigail Locke of
Woburn. Feb. 19, 1720/21, Thomas Carter "owned ye covenant"
in Weston, Mass., and his three children, Thomas, Abigail and
Elizabeth, were baptized. Two other children, Anna and Benjamin,
were also baptized in Weston later.
Thomas Carter's brother Daniel was living in Weston in 1723, —
perhaps earlier, — and had several children born there.
Oct. 20, 1726, William Smith of Weston sells to Thomas Career
of Weston, land in Hebron, Ct., and Dec. 12, 1726, Thomas Carter
and wife Abigail " of Hebron " convey land and house in Weston,
Mass. From the above and other records, it would appear that
Thomas Carter removed from Reading to Weston about 17 18 or
1719, where he remained until 1726, when he removed to Hebron,
Ct. (Middlesex, Mass., Co. Records, vol. 44, p. 140; Hebron, Ct.,
Land Records, vol. 2, p. 48.)
April 10, 1729, Abigail (Locke) Carter died leaving five children,
and Dec. 9, 1730, Thomas3 Carter married (2) Sarahs Gilbert, dau.
of Samuels Gilbert (Samuel,^ Jonathan') and Mercy, dau. of Isaac
and Sarah (Boltwood) Warner.
Jonathan' Gilbert, great-grandfather of Sarah4 (Gilbert) Carter,
was the well-known Jonathan Gilbert who was so prominent in the
affairs of the Colony of Connecticut from 1645 until his death in
1682. He was collector of customs at Hartford, deputy to the
General Court, marshal of the colony, and often engaged in
negotiations of importance with the Indians, with whose languages
he was well acquainted. He was also chief inn-holder of Hartford,
20 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
and in his house the General Court usually met when they did not
sit at the meetinghouse.
He was a man of large wealth for the day and acquired extensive
tracts of land in different settlements, some by government grant for
important service rendered, which lands he subsequently divided
among his children.
Remarried (i) Mary, daughter of Elder John White, and (2) Mary,
daughter of Hugh Welles, brother of Gov. Thomas Welles, and one
of the founders of Hartford.
Samuel ^ Gilbert was the son of the second wife, Mary Welles, a
woman remarkable for her prudence and energy.
Jonathan' Gilbert died Dec. 10, 1682, aged 64, and his second
wife, Mary Welles, died July 3, 1700, aged 74. They lie side by
side in the ancient burial place in the rear of the Center Church in
Hartford.
" Thomas and Hugh Welles were sons of Thomas Welles, a
zealous Puritan and wealthy merchant of London, of the Welles
family of the County of Essex. Incurring the suspicion of the
Commissioners, he escaped to this country when about 60 years old
and was soon followed by a numerous family of sons." (Reg. vol.
iv, p. 343-)
Samuel^ Gilbert, grandfather of Sarahs Gilbert, was born in Hart-
ford about 1663. He was married Oct. 2, 1685, to Mary Rogers,
daughter of Samuel and Mary (Stanton) Rogers of New London,
Ct. Samuel Rogers was born in Stratford, Ct., 1640, son of James
and Elizabeth (Rowland) Rogers of Stratford, Milford and New
London, Ct. Mary Stanton was daughter of Thomas and Mary
(Lord) Stanton, her mother being a daughter of Thomas and Ann
( ) Lord of Hartford. (Rogers Gen.; Goodwin's Notes;
Hist. New London, and Memo. Hist, of Hartford.)
Samuel^ Gilbert lived in Hartford until 1707, when he removed to
Colchester, Ct., where he lived until about 1824, when he again
removed to Lyme, Ct., where he died Aug. 5, 1733, ae 70. (T. S.)
Mary Rogers, his wife, died Sept. 30, 1756, in 91st year. This part
of Lyme is now in the town of Salem, not far from the Colchester
line.
Samuel ^ Gilbert was commissioned Ensign of the Train Band in
Hartford by the General Court in 1798, and was confirmed captain
of the Train Band in Colchester in May, 1707. In 171 1 Capt.
THIRD GENERATION. 21
Samuel Gilbert was in command of a company in an expedition
against Canada. (Col. Records of Conn., p. 358.)
No will or settlement of the estate of Samuel ■^ Gilbert has been
found, and it has been conjectured that these papers may have been
among the records of the New London probate office which were so
largely destroyed by the British during the Revolutionary war.
Deeds of gift to his sons, made at various times during his lifetime,
are, however, on record.
Samuel3 Gilbert (Samuel,^ Jonathan') father of Sarah* (Gilbert)
Carter, was born in Hartford Feb. 5, 1687/8. He married, (date
unknown; marriage proved by deed of land and Hist, of Hadley),
Mercy* Warner, born at Deerfield, Mass., Sept. 25, 1785, daughter
of Isaacs and Sarah (Boltwood) Warner. Isaac 3 Warner was the
son of Andrew^ Warner of Cambridge, Mass., Hartford, Ct., and
Hadley, Mass., who died Dec. iS, 1684. His first wife is unknown,
but he m. (2) Esther, (d. 1693), widow of Thomas Selden of
Hartford. Andrew^ Warner was son of John' Warner of Hatfield,
Gloucester, Eng. Isaacs Warner, born about 1645, died in
Deerfield, Mass., 1 690/1 j married May 31, 1666, Sarah, daughter
of Robert and Mary ( ) Boltwood. Robert Boltwood was
from Essex County, Eng.; in Connecticut, 1748; lived in part of
Wethersfield now included in Glastonbury ; removed to Hadley,
Mass., where he died April 6, 1684. His wife, Mary Warner, died
May 14, 1687. (Warner Gen.; Hist, of Hadley; Memo. Hist, of
Hartford.)
Samuels Gilbert died May i, 1760, and is buried in the Gilead,
Ct., cemetery, as is also his wife, Mercy Warner, who died Oct. 31,
1759. It is supposed by some that after his marriage he lived for
some time in Colchester, and it has been stated, on what original
authority the writer does not know, that some of his children were
born there, particularly his son, Samuel,* whose birth is given as at
Colchester, Oct. 16, 171 1. But no such entry is to be found on the
town records of Colchester.
The following entries are, however, found in the ancient records
of Lebanon, Ct., and seem to prove that at this time at least, he
was living within the limits of that town, and that the son Samuel
was born there in 1 7 1 2 :
"Abilena Gilbert Daughter of Sam" & Mercy Gilbert was Born
March the loth A. D. 17 10.
22 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
Sarah Gilbert was Born March the loth 1710.
• Samuel Gilbert was born May the first A. D. 1712."
Another son, John, was baptized there Nov. 21, 17 13/14, also
Elisha, Feb. 16, 17 16/17, although he is said to have been born in
Hebron. The towns adjoined. About this time the family seems
to have removed to Hebron, as the other children are said to have
all been born there, probably in Gilead parish, where the family of
Thomas 3 Carter resided.
The other children of Samuel 3 and Mercy (Warner) Gilbert are :
Mary, b. 1719; Hannah, b. 1722; Ezra, b. 1726; Mercy, b. 1728;
Ebenezer, b. 1732.
The will of Samuel 3 Gilbert is found at Colchester, and in it he
names his five sons as above, but merely refers to his " five
daughters," not mentioning any of them by name.
The names of the daughters as given above, and their husbands,
are all found, however, in the will of their brother, Lieut. John
Gilbert, which is on record at Andover, Ct. Lieut. John Gilbert
died Jan. 19, 1794, in " 8oth year," and is buried with his wife,
Abigail 4 Carter, (5), in Gilead cemetery.
Much interesting information concerning the Gilbert family may
be found in the New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Reg., vol. iv, p. 229 et
seq., and p. 339 et seq., and in a pamphlet published in 1902,
entitled : " One of the Gilberts of New England, A Descendant of
Jonathan Gilbert of Hartford, Ct." See also Champion Gen.
Sarah Gilbert Carter died in Warren in 1796, and her tombstone
is found in the cemetery there. The inscription reads :

THIRD GENERATION. 2$
After a residence of some 25 or more years in Hebron, Thomas
Carter, with nearly all his numerous family, some of them already
married, together with several related families from Hebron and
vicinity, migrated soon after 1750 to what was then the northeastern
part of the town of Kent, in Litchfield county, and took up a large
part of what later became the town of Warren. Rough, wild and
mountainous much of it is now and always has been, and to these
early pioneers it must have presented difficulties which only stout
hearts and strong arms could overcome. But it is doubtless to these
very obstacles which faced these and other pioneers of New England
towns, that the world is indebted for those splendid specimens of
manhood and sturdy character which is typified by the stern and
rugged aspect of the lands which they subdued, and in many cases
made to " blossom as the rose."
There is a tradition that one of the early Carters came first to
Warren, then practically a wilderness without paths or roads, and
selected a spot for a clearing. He then returned to Hebron and
came back with the family, but so wild was the country that for
some time they were unable to find the site which had been
selected. The Carters settled in the north part of the town and
never lived to any extent in the southern part, and there was always
considerable rivalry between the north and the south. When the
church was built each section tried to see which could bring the
biggest corner stone. It is said that the " south " won in the
contest.
The church of the " Society of East Greenwich (now Warren) in
the town of Kent" was formally organized Sept. 22, 1756, and as
the name of Thomas Carter is first on the list of those who " owned
the Covenant " on that occasion, it is believed that a copy of that
first covenant will be of interest to many, and it is given herewith :
" We whose Names are underwritten being united in the Belief of
the Christian Religion as taught in the Holy Scriptures, an excellent
summary whereof is contained in the Westminster Shorter Chate-
chism, And being united in Love and Charity towards one another,
Do now give up ourselves to God through Jesus Christ to be forever
the Lord's, to love him and walk in his ways, keep his Command-
ments, seeking his glory . And do mutually covenant and
engage from this day and forward untill regularly dismissed, to live
24 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
together as a Church of Christ according to the rules of the Gospel,
to attend publick worship and sealing ordinances together, to walk
in the same faith, to maintain brotherly love, to be in subjection to
the Government and Discipline Christ has established in his Church.
In the Presence of God the Searcher of hearts we do now make
this covenant, hoping in his mercy thro Jesus Christ to keep it in
perpetual remembrance, we have hereunto set our names and do
now before all this Congregation publickly ratify and confirm the
same.

Warren, was not clearly understood by the writer until a poem loaned
by Miss Jerusha S.7 Carter of Phelps, N. Y., (1898), made it evident

grandchildren) were swept away by an outbreak of fever or some
epidemic at that time. The record is as follows : " Departed this
life in the year 1774, viz. — Benjamin Carter, July 29th sone to
Thomas Carter then seignor, Thomas Carter Junior Died August 21
AD 1774. Thomas Carter Seignor & Adoniram Carter's Infant
child Died August 28th 1774. Adoniram Carter Died Sept. 5, AD
1774. Sarah Carter Died the nth September 1774 wife to Thomas
Carter Seignor."
The poem, which is exceedingly quaint and interesting, certainly
from a genealogical point of view, and as illustrating the spirit of
the age, was written by Joel Finney and was apparently dedicated to
Cloa Barnum, widow of Adoniram s Carter, who with their only
child, " scarce six weeks old," was among the victims of this terrible
visitation. Or he may have had in mind Anna (Hopkins) Carter,
widow of ThomasS Carter (17). The "Poem" consists of thirty
stanzas of four lines each, some of which are reproduced below :
A Poem.
Composed on the Sickness and Deaths, which happened in the Family of
THOMAS CARTER, in Kent, in the Summer, A. D. 1774.
I.
To strains of woe, I tune the mournful lyre,
While dying numbers groan across the wire ;
In deepest sable hung, my viol plays
Sad notes of grief in undissembling lays.
II.
Urania's bold assistance I must crave,
While I view death and the dark silent grave,
And try to paint a grievous tragic scene,
Which in the town of Kent has lately been.
III.
In seventeen hundred seventy-four, we see,
A raging sickness seiz'd the family
Of Thomas Carter, as you now shall hear,
Which filled the place with dread and awful fear.
IV.
The fever rag'd to that extremity.
Of fourteen persons six, we see, must die,
And change this life for that which is to come,
Their earthly ones for their eternal home.
FOURTH GENERATION.
V.
Muse, view the house amidst this awful gloom,
See spirits take their flight to hear their doom,
While every corner's filled with dolorous moans,
And doleful shrieks mingle with dying groans.
VI.
The aged parents both resign their breath,
Embraced in the icy arms of death,
With their three eldest sons in youthful bloom.
Take up their lodgings in the narrow tomb.
VII.
With one grandchild an infant daughter dear.
Must leave this world before her judge t' appear.
Scarce six weeks old, by this we plainly see.
From death's arrest no age nor rank is free.
VIII.
The eldest of these sons, a widow left
With two small children fatherless bereft ;
Methinks I see her with her children stand
Lamenting sore with one in either hand.
IX.
Where can I go, she cries, to find redress
Or comfort in my present sharp distress ;
The answer's plain you sure must go to God,
Submit to him and own his righteous rod.
X.
Behold the widow of the second son,
Husband and child her earthly all is gone.
Thus by herself she stands, o'erwhelm'd with grief,
And thinks her case admits of no relief.
XVI.
Now the third son, although he had no wife
To mourn his early exit from this life
Yet there is one who was betroth'd to him,
Whose parting seems like tearing limb from Hmb.
XIX.
I crave the leave to make a short address,
To those four brothers who are fatherless;
Your parents both are took away by death,
When God commands, we must resign our breath.

XXV.
This in particular I dedicate,
To the fair lady thus bereav'd of late,
At whose request these lines were first composed,
An now, at length to public view disclosed.
XXVII.
I credibly have been informed of late.
You have reenter'd on a married state ;
I hope that you a happy life may lead,
And be in bands of wedlock blest indeed.
By comparing the references in the above lines with the records
of the family below, the facts are made clear.
Nov. 19, 1774, Heman Swift Esq. of Cornwall was appointed
administrator on estate of Thomas Carter Jr. "late of Kent;"
Joseph Carter, administrator on estate of Thomas Carter Jr., " late
of sd Kent," and Ebenezer Man of Kent on estate of Adoniram
Carter "late of Cornwall." Jan. 16, 1775, inventories of the estates
of Thomas Carter, Thomas Carter Jr., and Adoniram Carter were
presented, the two former " of Kent," Adoniram " of Cornwall."
Also an allowance was made to " the widows & children of said
Thomas Carter & Thomas Carter Jr.," and to the "widow & children
of Adoniram Carter."
July 12, 1775, among the creditors of estate of "Thomas Carter
of Kent," are Dr. Ebenezer Man, Dr. John Chamberlain of Amenia,
(N. Y.,) Dr. Oliver Fuller of Kent, Dr. Joseph Perry of Woodbury,
Dr. Seth Bird of Litchfield.
Other creditors were Bateman Wells and Phebe Carter of Hebron,
(probably daughter of Lieut. Benjamin'f Carter of Hebron), Thomas
Russell of Cornwall, Abel Comstock, John Bliss Jr., Moses Case,
Benoni Carter, Ward Eldred of Cornwall, and Daniel Lee of Kent.
Sept. 21, 1775, in the distribution of the widow's right, "Widow
Anna Carter of sd Kent Relict of Thomas Carter Jun"^ aforesaid, a
piece of land in Cornwall bordering Housatonic River, 8 acres

(Gilead), Jan. 19, 1794, ae 80, son of Samuel 3 and Mercy (Warner)
Gilbert, and great-grandson of Jonathan' Gilbert of Hartford.
His will, drawn Jan. 17, 1793, proved Feb. 6, 1794, is on record
at Andover, Ct., and it is an interesting fact that from his will are
supplied the names of his five sisters, (one of whom was Sarah,
second wife of Thomas 3 Carter), and their husbands, the father,
Samuels Gilbert, in his will merely referring to his " five daughters."
He was known as " Lieut." John Gilbert, and in his will mentions
no children but leaves a large estate to various relatives, including
his wife, Abigail, and his " five sisters," Sarah Carter, Mary Dart,
Abileana Saxton (deceased), Mary Curtis (deceased), Hannah Mann
(deceased).
He lived in Gilead parish, Hebron, to which society he bequeathed
in his will " The sum of two hundred pounds to be paid at the end
of one year after my decease to be appropriated to the support of
a regular Gospel Minister who shall be settled and ordained in and
over said Parish and the same shall be continued as a pepetual fund
and the interest thereof annually paid into the treasury of said
Society and by the Committee of said Society for the time being
applied in part payment of the Salary of said minister which shall
be due."
6. Elizabeth 4 Carter {Thomas,'^ Thomas,^ Rev. Thomas^)
b. Weston, Mass., March 15, 1717/20; m. Hebron, Ct., Feb. 27,
1745/46, William Swetland, (probably) son of John and Sarah
(Davis) Swetland.
In her father's will, dated 1768, he speaks of Elizabeth as
" deceased," and in the probate records at Litchfield, Ct., vol. iii,
p. 154, dated Nov. 14, 1773, the residue of the estate of "Darius
Sweatland " is ordered paid to "William Svveatland, the natural
32 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
Father and only Heir of said Darius." Hence Elizabeth (Carter)
Swetland must have died previous to 1768, and at this time evidently,
no other child was living. The Swetlands apparently came to
Warren with the Carters.

was appointed ist Lieut, of the 8th Co., 2d Regiment.
In the old cemetery near Hebron Center the writer found (1907)
the gravestone of Phebe, wife of Lieut. Benjamin Carter, but no
stone of her husband or any child. Mrs. Carter's headstone is a
fine one, and there was also a footstone.

Ruth (Curtis) Carter is buried in the Warren cemetery and her

Capt. Joseph Carter was a man of much prominence in the affairs
of the town, was chosen first selectman when Warren was set off
from Kent in 1786, and repeatedly was elected to offices of trust
and responsibiUty.
In the French and Indian war he served as private in Capt.
Samuel Dunham's Co. in the Alarm to relieve Fort William Henry
in Aug., 1757. He was appointed by the General Court in 1767,
Ensign of the 2d Company, or Train Band, in the town of Kent ;
Lieutenant of the same in 1770, and Captain in 1772. He was
Captain in the 13th Reg. of Militia at New York in 1774, and
marched with the same company, in which two of his brothers were
also officers, for the relief of Danbury in 1777. He was also
Captain in the 13th Reg., Sept., 1779, at Peekskill. (Conn.
Colonial Records; Rev. Rolls and Lists, and Conn. Hist. Society
Collections, vol. ix.)
He was representative from Kent in 1777, 1778, and 1779. He
resided, at least in his later years, on what is known as " Above All "
in Warren, and was hving with his father or near him at the time of
the latter's death in 1772.
The late Martin Strong of Warren (b. 1809) remembered Capt.
Carter well and described him to the writer as of moderate height,

rather thick set and with the "Carter Look," of quiet temperament
and one greatly respected in the community.
He was present at the dedication of the present Warren church
in 1820, as was his brother, Lieut. Samuel Carter (11), the former
then being 88 and the latter 86 years of age.

Mr. Finney began the study of law in 181 8, but having become
converted in 1821, studied theology and was Hcensed to preach by
the Presbyterian church in 1824. He labored as an evangelist with
great success in various cities, and in 1832 the Chatham street
theatre in New York was bought for him, and the " Evangelist "
established as an advocate of the revival. In 1834 he became
pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, which had been built especially
for him. In 1835 Mr. Finney accepted the professorship of
theology at Oberlin, which had just been founded by his friends,
and from 1851 to i866 he was president of that institution. Besides
acting much of the time as pastor of the Congregational church in
Oberlin, he frequently preached in New York and other places, and
also spent three years in England as a revivahst. In his revival work
he relied mainly on doctrinal preaching as opposed to animal excite-
ment, and his sermons are plain, logical and direct. He is generally
regarded as one of the greatest revivalists that America has produced.

1797. He and his brother, Capt. Joseph Carter, were often chosen

John Carter Hved apparently on or near the Cornwall line, as did
several other members of the family. Probably his legal residence
was Cornwall, as is indicated by the following records : " Feb.,
1778, John Carter, Elijah Hopkins and Reuben Fox, all of Cornwall
are annexed to the society of East Greenwich in Kent."
He served in the Revolutionary war, enlisting from Cornwall, as
did also two of his sons, John and Jirah. He was also Corporal in
the 4th Co., (Capt. Whiting) 2d Regt., French and Indian war,
campaign of 1762, and had probably served previously as private in
a company raised in Hebron, Ct. (See Conn. Hist. Soc. Collections,

also with Joseph Carter (9) in the alarm to relieve Fort William
Henry in 1757. He was a representative several times to the
General Court and in 1788 was a member of the convention that
ratified the Constitution of the United States at Hartford. He was
appointed Ensign of the 2d Company or Train Band of Kent, 1770;
Lieutenant of same, 1772 ; Capt. of the 7th Co., 4th Regt., 1775 ;
and Major of one of the six battalions which were raised by the
state in 1778.
Major Curtis was in the battle at Danbury, and caught General
Wooster as he fell from his horse in that battle. He was also
present at the surrender of Burgoyne in 1777, an interesting account
of which he gives in a journal kept by him and still preserved by a
descendant, Wallace K. Curtiss, residing (1909) in Torrington, Ct.
The article was published in the Hartford Courant Aug. 12, 1908.

Abel Comstock was one of the first deacons in the Warren
church. Benoni Carter lived a little north of the church in
Warren, nearly opposite the cemetery. He owned a large amount
of real estate, and was interested in several manufacturing enter-
prises in Warren. In company with Rev. Peter Starr and Capt. Justus
Sackett, he built the first grist mill there. About 1794 he sold his
property in Warren and removed to Salisbury, Ct., where he resided
in what is known as the " Weatogue " district, his home being near

Mrs. Luna (Carter) Roberts (233) lived at Tully, N. Y., with her
great-uncle, Rufus Carter (21), from the age of 8 years to 18 years.
She went to live with him on account of the death of his youngest
daughter. She lived with him from about 1813 to 1823. His
children were all older than Mrs. Roberts. She recollected that
several other Carters lived near her uncle, but did not recall their
names. Miss Jane E. Carter (68-xii) lived when a child in
" Markham Hollow," (now Fabius) N. Y., and Rufus Carter, then an
old man, lived near. Had no family but a wife. Philip and
Adonijah Carter, his sons, her father's cousins, were also near.
" Phihp had quite a family ; one son, Sylvester, lived in Syracuse,
and his son John was long in business there."

Fuller, b. Warren, Feb. 17, 1778, d. Ravenna, O., 1854, dau. of
Howard and Sarah (Bennett) Fuller.
He was a farmer. Res. Kent, Ct., afterwards in Monkton, Vt. ;
the farm there yet belongs to others of the name (1898). Returned
to Kent; removed to Johnson, Trumbull Co., O., in 1804, and to
Ravenna, O., in 1806. He was a zealous Free Mason.
Mrs. Charlotte C. Chafifee, daughter of Howard Carter, (91)
contributes the following : " After Erastus Carter was married to
Lois Fuller and their three oldest children were born, Howard,
Ruthalia, and Lois, he became very tired of working on his New
England farm and decided, with five other young men, to see what
Ohio was Hke. So they shouldered their knapsacks and started.
This was in 1803. One turned back, one reached Canfield, Ohio,
and there earned enough money to take him home ; but only
Erastus Carter went through to their destination. Returning to
Connecticut, he disposed of his farm and prepared to move his
family. Several others were of the company, as well as his father-
in-law, Howard Fuller, and his wife. There was a general meeting
of the neighborhood to see them off. The parson came, prayers
were offered, farewells spoken and tears shed. No one ever
expected to see them again. Their route was through Newburg,
N. Y., Harrisburg, and Pittsburg, Pa., traveling slowly in emigrant
wagons drawn by horses and ox teams. Part of the way a path had
to be cut through, and burnt trees marked their course many times.
They stayed for a short time in Johnson, Trumbull Co., then moved
to Ravenna, O., where nearly all of them spent the rest of their
lives. The first year they raised one acre of wheat and threshed it
by tramping the ground with their feet and beating the grain with a
flail. Many were the perils they endured and terrible the fear of
the Indians during the war of 181 2. Erastus Carter's cousin,
Lorenzo Carter, was the first white settler in Cleveland, Ohio. All
the boys except Miles settled on farms which their father gave them,
and lived on them until they died."

Jemima (Carter) Bates, the mother of Desire Bates, came from
a branch of the Carter family sometimes called the " Killingworth
(Ct.) Carters," said to be descended from Robert Carter, a ship-
builder who came from Bristol, Eng., about 1700 to Guilford or
Killingworth, Ct. He is said to have had children, John, Benjamin,
Samuel, Joseph, William, Mary and Nathaniel, — the youngest, and
the only one born in Connecticut, so far as the records of Guilford
and Killingworth show. Nathaniel, born in Killingworth April 27,
17 17, married there Nov. 8, 1739, Sarah Bennett, to whom were
born in KiUingworth, Jemima, (May 2, 1742), Mary, Nathan, Sarah,
Elizabeth and Nathaniel. In the spring of 1759 Nathaniel Carter
bought land in the town of Cornwall, Ct., not far from the Warren
line, where he lived until the spring of 1763, when he again removed
with some other families to a new settlement in what is now Pike
County, Pa., taking with him three or more children. Jemima had
recently married Isaac Bates and was not of the party, and it is
supposed that Nathan also remained behind. Mary died 1759.
In the autumn of the same or following year, the entire family
excepting Sarah, Elizabeth and Nathaniel, were massacred by
Indians. The two girls were later ransomed and returned to their
friends in Cornwall, but the boy, Nathaniel, in some way got into
the Cherokee Nation, where he married and had several children,
one of whom, David, later by a strange coincidence attended the
famous mission school at Cornwall, Ct., his father's old home. He
there met his relatives, but would not remain after finishing his
course at the school. He returned to his home and became Chief
Justice of the Cherokee Nation, Delegate to Congress, and died at
Talequah, I. T., Jan, 6, 1867, leaving a family of eleven children.
Five of his sons served in the Confederate army, two as officers.
Richard organized and was elected Captain of an independent

Major Lorenzo Carter stands out as a conspicuous character
among the early settlers of what afterward became the city of
Cleveland. Coming from Rutland, Vt., in the spring of 1797, the
year after the town was laid out, he built a large log cabin near the
mouth of the Cuyahoga river, in which he at once began to entertain
travelers and others, and also kept in connection with the tavern a
stock of goods for general trade, thus becoming the first landlord
and the first merchant in Cayahoga county after its settlement by
the whites. Mr, Carter was an extremely active, enterprising man,
and gained a wonderful influence over the Indians, who were
constant neighbors and frequent visitors. He was a tall, strong man
and well knew when and how to use his strength to the best
advantage. The Indians feared him more than any other settler,
(it is said even more than his Satanic majesty himself ! ) Carter's
commanding figure and prodigious strength, coupled with a
remarkable audacity and fearlessness of spirit, giving the aboriginees
abundant reason for this. His influence over the Indians was so
great that he was always called upon to settle disputes between the
whites and the Indians, and frequently between the Indians them-
selves. In fact, to such an extent was Major Carter the
governmental head of the newly-organized settlement, that for a
period it has been said that there was no law in Cleveland but Major
Carter, and he probably did as much to make the settlement of
Cleveland a permanent success as any one of the first settlers. In
1804 he was elected captain of the local militia company and a
little later he was chosen major of the regiment, thus receiving the
title by which he was known the remainder of his life. He was
prosperous in business and acquired extensive holdings of land in
what are now the limits of Cleveland, some of which is still (1909)
said to be in the possession of his descendants.

60 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
In spite of the peculiar disadvantages of his earlier years, and the
hardships and privations of pioneer life which he encountered,
Maj. Carter was a man of much culture and was more of a student
than would be supposed. Among other things, his choice of reading
matter, as is shown by the records of Cleveland Library, is proof of
this.
The first school in Cleveland " Village " was kept in his house
1802, by Miss Anne Spafford.

ever found. His father always believed that he was stolen by the
Indians." (Mrs. W. M. Beauchamp — 302).

Linsley was b. in Westfield, Mass. Lived later in Branford.)
Sally (Linsley) Carter was a lady of fine education, and for some
years taught a private school in Branford, Ct.
Rev. W. K. Douglass, a grandson, writes that his grandfather's
name was "Thomas P. Carter, born in Cornwall, Ct." (See under
17.)
Thomas P. Carter was one of the few members of this branch of
the Carter family who seem to have followed the sea. He is said to
have been engaged in this life for more than 40 years, part of the
time a sea captain. Probably he found his way to Branford and the
sea because of the fact that his mother's second husband, Noah
Harrison of Cornwall, Ct., was from Branford and undoubtedly had
relatives there, with whom this stepson visited.

C. B. Colman (260) writes: "The first time I ever saw
Adonijah Carter was in the early summer of 1848. He passed my
cabin or place of residence in the woods of Sheboygan County,
Wis., with his family and personal property as follows: About 25
cows with about the same number of calves, yearlings and two-year-
olds ; 3 double wagons with white sails so as to be comfortable for
living, two of the wagons drawn by oxen, the third by a good pair
of horses, — all facing eastward and bound for Sheboygan, a town
about 20 miles east of my place, where he intended to buy a home
near the city and establish a milk route there. In less than two
months I learned that Mr. Carter had left Sheboygan and returned
straight back to Plymouth, where he purchased a half section of
land and made a good farm for himself. Himself and his wife now
sleep in the graveyard of that city. On the occasion above referred
to 1 had but a short talk with Mr. Carter, and did not then learn
that he was a relative of my mother, nor did I then see his oldest
daughter, Emma, whom I afterward married in Plymouth, and
brought home to my farm in Greenbush to be my companion and
helper until about two years later, when a fatal fever overtook her
and carried her to the better land."

Mr. Carter removed from Warren with his father's family in 181 1
and settled in the western part of New York state, on the so-called
"Holland Purchase." In 1820 he took a contract of the Holland
Land Company for a tract of land in Ellicottville, Cattaraugus Co.,
upon which land he moved in 1821. He cleared his farm and
taught school, remaining on the place until 1836, when he removed
to Ogden, Lenawee Co., Mich. At one time he owned 1600 acres
of land in Michigan. At the time of his death he owned 640 acres
in Ogden. He was a man of unblemished character, and amassed

Miles Carter (28-v), who never married, and made a home for him
and her own family. I remember her being at my father's just
before starting and he gave her several fine ears of corn for seed of
his own raising, and the corn from that seed was known for miles
around in Iowa as " Uncle Howard's corn." The winter of 1856-57
was very severe and Corinthia, from some exposure, suddenly died,
probably from pneumonia. The ground was so frozen that it took four
men two days to dig her grave, and cattle going to drink were frozen
standing. One ox remained in that position until a thaw came."

Mr. Carter had been a resident of Morgan Co., 111., since 1834,
making the trip overland from Warren, Ct., in that year. He was a
man of unostentatious manner but a keen observer of nature, and
in his early life was an extensive dealer in horses and cattle. He
had the New England pioneer spirit that under adverse circumstances
was able to win success, and out of the undeveloped West he
wrought and worked, his efforts being rewarded until he became one
of the men of means of his time.

His interests were varied, and during his business career he was
engaged not only in farming and stock raising, but at one time
controlled a large flour mill, also a saw mill, and after moving from
Waverly to Jacksonville was engaged in the manufacture of brick.
He was at one time also a member of the firm of Starr & Carter in
the conduct of a general store.
During the Mexican war Mr. Carter was employed by the govern-
ment and was persuaded by the army officials to go to Carmago,
Mexico, where he had charge of the forage arrangements and the
army horses and mules, his experience as a horseman making his
services of great value. Mr. Carter was a member of Westminister
Presbyterian church and possessed a strong and abiding Christian
faith. Although a man of such varied and long-continued activity,
he never sough' the lime light or honors at the hands of his fellows,
but contented himself with attention to the details of his private
business and the duties of citizenship.
Mr. Carter was one of a family of twelve children, nine of whom
lived to be over 63, and at the time of his death he was survived by
three brothers aged 92, 91 and 78 years respectively. After reaching
the age of 95 Mr. Carter drove his own horse and cared for him,
and was as active as many men of 70. In his 98th year he was still
in remarkably good health, and aside from a slight deafness was in
full possession of his faculties. He was a man whose life showed
the effects of good habits, sterling integrity and courteous conduct
towaids all men. (Extract from Jacksonville Journal.)

Mr. Carter, like many of the family, was a fine musician and in
his day was the most noted teacher of singing schools in Litchfield
County, Ct.
"The love of his life was music. He taught in a number of
different towns the old-fashioned Singing School, and did it far more
than ordinarily well. Until within a few years, there were living
pupils of his who testified of his ability and thoroughness as a
teacher. His quaint old organ, a small pipe organ, is still (1898) in
existence, and to the last of his life he played on it. Both his
daughters inherited his musical talent in a marked degree. The
younger, Isabella Minerva (Pope), was a singer with an exceptional
I04 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
voice. There was a quality of tone in her voice that moved and
held those who heard her. By one critic her voice was even com-
pared favorably with that of Jennie Lind." It is interesting to note
that a granddaughter of Mrs. Pope has developed unusual musical
ability at a comparatively early age.

Dr. Abel Carter Benedict was one of the most prominent surgeons
of Syracuse. Though skilled in other branches of his profession he
made surgery a specialty, his experience in army life being of great
value to him in this line. He was a graduate of the Yale Medical
School, i860, and on the breaking out of the rebellion was commis-
sioned assistant surgeon of the ist N. Y. Vols. He continued in this
office until 1863, when he was commissioned by Pres. Lincoln assistant
surgeon of U. S. Vols., and later promoted to be surgeon of the same.
I06 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
In June, 1865, he was brevetted Lieut. Col. by Pres. Johnson; was
later in charge of the general army hospital at Beaufort, S. C, and
was mustered out of service in Dec, 1865. In the late years of the
war he was on the staff of General Devlin, 24th Corps, and of
General Turner, Tenth Corps. After the close of the war he settled
in Waverly, 111., where he remained until 1875, when he moved to
Syracuse. He was a member of the N. Y. State Med. Society;
Onondaga Med. Society ; Syracuse Academy of Medicine ; the
Onondaga Club, and Root Post, G. A. R.

Pratt writes : " Only illness has prevented me
writing in regard to the death of dear Miss Carter.
It was a great shock to us. We can all remember
her as having the largest hearted faith, shown by
works, in the young Indians. We can all recall
where, when our own confidence in what we
thought a bad Indian was terrible shaken, she, not
only by her acts, but by her earnings, stood by to
lift up and help forward. She was one of the
most important spokes in the Carlisle wheel."

at the carpenter trade, and built a house, still (1897) standing,
mainly by his own labor, near tlie present site of the Congregational
church. After the big flouring mill was erected he became a flour
packer and worked at it for a long time. Later he took up the
business of making or building a kind of flat boat, called *' arks,"
for the transportation of the flour down the river to Lake Michigan.
While yet engaged in ark building, he was taken sick and died. Mr.
Carter was a very industrious, hard-working man, preaching at times
to the few Baptists in the community, while actively engaged in
other occupations. He was a shifty, ingenious, industrious Yankee,
a very useful man in the new country."

Cornelius Conant, father of Alvarado, had four brothers and one
sister: Robert, Jeremiah, Archibald, Daniel and Anna. Of 17
children (two mothers) Alvarado was the oldest. He was an active
member of the Congregational church in Fairport, and of him " it
can be truly said that he lived beloved and died lamented by all
who knew him."
The daughter, Mary J. Conant, was for many years a very success-
ful teacher.

Mr. and Mrs. Williams were very helpful to the compiler of the
present work, and gave many important clues which he otherwise
might have failed to get.
Mr. Williams, as he says, "was raised in the wilds of Michigan. I
have lived in this county (Branch) sixty-one years this month (1897).
I was but ten years old when I came here. Then there were more
Indians than white folks ; more wolves than sheep now ; plenty of
deer and some bears ; plenty of wild turkeys and other game. I
well understand the hardships of pioneer life. I have eaten salt and
potatoes when salt was $12 per barrel and potatoes $2.50 a bushel ;
flour $8 per hundred pounds ; oats t^.c^o, and 25 cents for sending
a letter."
"Although she never had children of her own, Mrs. Williams did
not lose her mother love from her heart, and many a boy and girl,
once an inmate of her home, called her "mother" with sincere
136 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
affection. All helpless things appealed to her humanity. She was a
model housekeeper and her home was the favorite resort of many
friends and relatives. A firm friend to the poor, she sensibly advised
and proved a reliable helper in time of need. There were no com-
plaints during her long illness, and, like a tired child, sweetly and
gently she sighed her life away to begin an eternal Happy New Year.
Covered with blossoms she so well loved, she was laid to rest, but in
memory and deeds she still lives."

Bishop Davis Sessums of Miss, said in a memorial
address: "The predominant trait of his spirit was
an absolute consecration to the missionary service
of the Master and an entire absence of any passion
for material self-advancement. With profound
intellect and the tastes of a scholar, he yet illus-
trated the real and simple nature of his Christianity
by his missionary and philanthropic enthusiasm, and
the true unworldliness with which he forgot himself
and labored for the welfare of others has ennobled
and consecrated his name in the hearts and

memories of multitudes throughout the dioceses
which received his prolonged toil. In making this
reverent memorial I venture specially to emphasize
this great and shining characteristic of unselfishness
and self-sacrifice, and to add as further distinguish-
ing traits a rare strain of chivalric gallantry, a pro-
found and exhaustive equipment of learning, and
a very unusual mingling of progressiveness and
conservatism." Children: (1) William Taylor, h.

removed to Randolph, N. Y., where he continued in practice until
1850, when he retired from practice owing to ill health. He was
eminently successful both as physician and surgeon — particularly
the latter, — being frequently summoned to cases 50 miles or more
from his home. He spent the later years of his life at his old home
in Albany, N. Y., where he died.

Both Dr. and Mrs. Beauchamp have been of much service to the
compiler in the preparation of this book. Few correspondents have
been more inteIHgent or interested regarding the history of the
family. Through their thoughtfulness and painstaking, an exceed-
ingly interesting record of the pioneer experiences of Mrs.
Beauchamp's father and grandfather, Howard Carter (gi) and
Erastus Carter (28), in their Ohio home, has been preserved, being
carefully taken down from the lips of the pioneers themselves. The
record would make a volume of considerable size and is well worthy
of publication. It is to be regretted that the plan of the present
work did not admit of extended quotations from it.

When but eight years of age Mr. Carter's father died, leaving his
mother and four small children, and it was then that David Carter
began to work, and he never ceased until sickness compelled him to
stop. At the age of 16 he " went sailing " on the lakes for the first
time, and there are men alive now who knew him when an ordinary
seaman on a ten-tonner. He kept on sailing in various capacities,
and at the age of 20 he went on the "Forest City" in the capacity
of clerk. The Detroit Free Press says, in an article published in
1899:
" The history of the great Detroit and Cleveland Navigation Co.
is practically the history of the past forty-eight busy years of David
Carter's life. All of his energies have been directed toward the
upbuilding of an immense transportation business, and the magnifi-

cent line of steamers stands as a monument to his patient industry
and ceaseless toil. When David Carter came to Detroit in 1852 he
engaged as clerk on the steamer Forest City, the pioneer of the
D. and C. line, and in that capacity worked for ten years. He then
became agent for the line at Detroit and has since had exclusive
control of its interests. Away back in the sixties he had faith in the
possibilities of the line. The splendid results achieved since show
that his faith was justified. He has during the past year brought
every power of mind and body to bear to place the D. & C. line in
the van as regards the vital essentials of safety, speed and comfort.
Owing to the hard work of the general manager, the name
" D. and C." is known wherever boats sail, and it may be truthfully
said that the name of David Carter, if nailed to the masthead of
every ship, could be no better known than it is now."
In 1899 the directors of the Detroit and Cleveland Navigation
Co., in recognition of Mr. Carter's remarkable services to the
company for nearly half a century, honored him with the title of
Commodore and presented him with a regulation Commodore's
pennant. Mr. Carter was one of the most enthusiastic and loyal
supporters of the attempt to trace out the family record, and gave
much aid and encouragement to the compiler of this work.

" Mrs. Calhoun inherited exceptional qualities from a good ances-
try. Her great-grandfather, Capt. Joseph Carter, commanded a
company in the Revolutionary war ; her great-grandfather, Timothy i
Munson, was a Revolutionary soldier ; and earlier ancestors in the I
same line were ofificers in King George's, King Philip's and the
Pequot wars. Her pioneer ancestor, Capt. Thomas Munson, repre- 1
sented New Haven in the Colonial legislatures 27 sessions. Second
cousins of hers were Dr. Julian Munson Sturtevant and Dr. Edward
Allan Tanner, both presidents of Illinois College. Mrs. Calhoun
had a keen, alert and well-informed mind, a genial and animated i
manner and a bright and winsome countenance. People were I
attracted to her presence remarkably, and rejoiced in it. She was
interesting and lovely in the estimation of the young. This aged
Christian had constant pleasure in the kingdom of God upon earth
and was a close observer of events pertaining to it. She was an
eager reader, with an especial inclination to publications touching
things holy." The Congregationalist, Dec. 15, 1900.
The compiler would acknowledge special indebtedness both to
Mrs. Calhoun and to her sister, Mrs. Sarah Carter Sackett (io6-iii),
for assistance rendered in preparing this work, especially in its early
stages. He may add also that both ladies were most worthy
representatives of the family whose name they bore.

LeGrand Carter had just entered upon his 20th year when he
enlisted at Darien, Wis. He had gone down there from his home
for the purpose of going to school, but caught the war fever and,
with some friends and cousins, enlisted in Co. K, 2d Wis. Cavalry.
He was a non-commissioned officer, and at the time of his death
was Duty Sergeant. In the spring of 1864 he came home on
furlough, married as above and was killed within a few weeks after
his return to the army. He was in command of a scouting party
sent out to get some horses which had been left by bushwackers at
a place some 20 miles west of Rolla, Mo. While proceeding with
a part of the force to find a second bunch of horses he was waylaid
and, with the four men with him, captured, and according to all the
evidence the entire party were taken into the woods and murdered
in cold blood. The bodies of all were recovered, LeGrand's having
frve balls in it. He was ever faithful in the discharge of every duty
and a favorite in the company, endeared to all by reason of a

Of his son, Charles F., he writes: "With 27 other students he
enlisted from the Oneonta Normal School for the Spanish war, for
the cause of suffering humanity, not for conquest, as he wrote in
his last letter to us from Honolulu. His was a grand life. He lived
for others, and to do good in the world was the great aim of his life.
He had not missed a Sabbath school in over 10 years up to the time
he went into camp. Duty was first with him, never looking for
excuses. He was never known to utter a falsehood nor an oath.
The Normal faculty, students, soldier boys and neighbors, all say
they could speak of him in life as in death. There was nothing in
life to cover in death. More than 90 letters of tribute to his
memory were received by his family."

Bartlett Andrews, b. Sunderland, Mass., Nov. 4, 1834, d. Litchfield,
Ct., Sept. 12, 1902, son of Rev. Erastus Andrews.
Hon. C. B. Andrews was graduated with high honor at Amherst,
1858; studied law in Sherman, Ct., and was admitted to the
Fairfield County bar in i860; entered into partnership with Hon.
John M. Hubbard, M. C, in 1863; elected to State Senate 1868
and again in 1869; Representative, 1878; Governor of Connecticut
1879; Judge of the Superior Court, 1882; Chief Justice Supreme
Court, 1889; State Referee, 1901. In 1902 Judge Andrews was
unanimously chosen delegate from Litchfield to the Constitutional
Cenvention at Hartford, and by practically unanimous agreement
was made presiding officer of that convention, as Gov. Oliver
Wolcott of Litchfield had been eighty years before.
" Judge Andrews has often and fitly been cited as a fine
illustration for the younger men of what chances there are for those
who have the sense and ability to improve their opportunities. He
started as a poor and unknown boy and he reached our highest and
most honored offices by doing as well as he could what came upon
him to be done, and by avoiding nothing that did come. His name
has become a part of the history of the state, and he has had no
small part in guiding its development and shaping its laws."
Judge Andrews received the degree of LL. D. from Yale, Amherst
and Wesleyan Universities.

THIRD GENERATION.
700. Ezra3 Carter {Thomas,^ Rev. Thomas '') b. Woburn,
Mass., June 22, 1701 ; d. Marlborough, Ct., July 19, 1774, in 73d
year of his age (T. S.) ; m. Middletown, Ct., June 24, 1724, Jerusha

of her age (T. S.), dau. of Joseph and Mary (Mould) White.
In the Middletown Land Records Ezra Carter is described as of
Middletown in October, 1725, and from the fact that he married
there in 1724, it is probable that he had been a resident for some
time previously. In an agreement dated as above, 1725, he rented
from Thomas Miller Jr., for ten years, a home lot, etc., with grist
mill. Miller agrees to " teach and learn said Carter his art of
Milling, that is to make and grind meal well & to manage a mill,
etc." ; and also " to teach said Carter the art of turned wooden
ware." The rent was to be one-half of the " tole or gains by
grinding", and in addition. Carter was to clear a lot. This lease was
made void by the parties to the contract, June 27, 1726, "for
reasons best known to ourselves."
Feb. 23, 1 73 1/2, Ezra Carter sells his home lot on the west side
of the Connecticut river in Middletown, North Society, with house
and barn, situated near land of Joseph Whitmore deceased.
Another deed in Middletown, dated Jan. 8, 1724/5, records the
sale by Thomas Carter, Clothier, of Woburn, Mass., of a lot of land
in Middletown to Jonathan Yeomans, which land he bought of
Robert Collins, said land being situated near land of Thomas
Miller. William Whitmore was a witness to the deed.
THIRD GENERATION. 257
Joseph and William VVhitmore were probably own cousins of
Ezra 3 Carter, being sons of Lieut. P>ancis Whitmore, brother of
Margaret Whitmore, who married I'horaas^ Carter (2).
About 1733, Ezra Carter settled apparently in a part of Hebron,
Ct., which later (1S03) was incorporated in the town of Marl-
borough, Ct. Marlborough was formed in 1803 from parts of
Hebron, Colchester and Glastonbury,
Ezra and Jerusha Carter were among the original members of the

of the most prominent and honored residents of Marlborough, in
which town he passed practically his entire life. In his later years
it was customary for his friends and fellow townsmen to celebrate his
birthday by a social gathering. On the anniversary of his ninetieth
birthday an unusually large gathering was held and a very interesting
historical paper was read by Miss Mary Hall of Hartford.
In this family was preserved from an early day a copy of the
Carter coat of arms, which is the same as that claimed by the
so-called "Virginia Carters." It is su])posed to have been handed
down in the family. (See page 10.)

APPENDIX A.
Concerning the parentage of Mary, wife of the Rev. Thomas Carter.
On page 17 it is stated that Mary, wife of the Rev. Thomas
Carter, was in all probability a daughter of George Parkhurst Sr., of
Watertown and Boston. Some of the facts leading to that conclu-
sion are here given more in detail.
On the Parish Registers of Ipswich, Suffolk County, England, are
found the following baptisms : —
Phebe, dau. of George and Phebe Parkhurst, Nov. 29, 161 2.
Mary, dau. of George Parkhurst, Aug. 28, 1614.
Samuel, son of George Parkhurst, Feb. 2, 16 16/17.
Deborah, dau. of George Parkhurst, Aug. i, 16 19.
George, son of George Parkhurst, June 5, 1621.
John, son of George Parkhurst, Oct. 19, 1623.
Abigail, dau. of George Parkhurst, Jan. i, 1625/6.
Elizabeth, dau. of George Parkhurst, May 18, 1628.
Joseph, son of George Parkhurst, Dec. 21, 1629.
In the so-called " Dalton Deed" (Reg. xxvii, p. 364), Ruth,
widow of the Rev. Timothy Dalton, conveys by deed dated
March 22, 1663/4 certain property to her "constituted heir,"
Nathaniel Bacheller, he paying her a certain sum down, and agree-
ing to pay the sums mentioned below to the persons named, after
her death :
To Deborah Smith, wife of John, ;^5o
To Elizabeth Merry, wife of Joseph, ;;{^20
To Phebe Arnold, wife of Thomas, ^20
^o Joseph Parkhurst, ;£20
To George Parkhurst, ;^20
To Mary Carter, wife of Thomas (Carter of Woburn), ^20
THE WIFE OF REV. THOMAS CARTER. 269
The identity of the six names in the two lists is striking, but in
addition to this, at least three of the persons mentioned in the
Dalton deed are known to be children of George Parkhurst Sr.
Nathaniel Bacheller, the grantee above, had married Deborah,
dau. of the above John and Deborah Smith. In 1669 George
Parkhurst Jr. writes Bacheller concerning the money coming to him
from " my aunt Dalton," which letter Bacheller endorses as from
"my uncle, George Parkhurst."
Joseph Parkhurst also wrote Bacheller about the money coming to
him from "my mmt Dalton." Hence George, Joseph and Deborah
must have been children of George Parkhurst Sr.
As to Ruth Dalton, wife of Rev. Timothy Dalton, from all the
facts known to the writer it would seem that she was not a sister
of George ' Parkhurst, but was more likely a sister of his first wife,
Phebe. No record of the first wife is found in America, though he
again married, about 1643, Susanna, widow of John Simpson.
Unfortunately no record of the marriage of Rev. Thomas Carter
and his wife Mary has been found, and the same is true of the
marriage of George Parkhurst and his wife Phebe, as also of Rev.
Timothy Dalton and his wife, Ruth.
Another fact, although perhaps not of great weight in proving the
identity of Mary, wife of Rev. Thomas Carter, is that four of her
eight children had the same names as those of children of George
Parkhurst Sr., who it should be remembered was a resident of
Watertown, where the Rev. Thomas Carter was located at the time
of his marriage. A fifth child was named Thomas, probably for the
father, thus leaving only three children whose names, so to say, are
unaccounted for. Further, it may be stated that there is no birth
or other record of a Mary Dalton, dau. of Philemon, brother of
Rev. Timothy Dalton.
APPENDIX B.
Rev. Thomas Carter.
In view of the fact that comparatively few who may see this
volume will be able to see the copy of the Boston Transcript of
June I, 1904, in which was published the article referred to in the
first paragraph of page 9, it has been thought best to reproduce the
article entire, although some parts of it have been incorporated into
this work. There is also given with it a portion of an article con-
tributed to the Woburn (Mass.) Daily Times of September 26, 1908,
by William R. Cutter Esq., librarian of the Woburn Public Library,
to whom and to his assistant, Mr. Arthur G. Loring, the compiler is
indebted for many suggestions and courtesies in the preparation of
this work.
Note *568. Carter. Rev. Thomas Carter, first minister of Woburn, Mass.,
1642, died Sept. 5, 1684 (Woburn Records), in the seventy-fourth year of his
age and the forty-second of his ministry. According to the record, Mr.
Carter was born about 1610. Most unfortunately for those interested in the
genealogy of the Carter family, there seem to have been in and about Boston
in the early days not only several men bearing the name of Thomas Carter,
but apparently two or three of them were bom about 1610. The writer has
spent considerable time and money within the last few years in trying to
locate the English home and parentage of Rev. Thomas Carter, and now
proposes to give a few facts which have been discovered in the hope that
others interested may be able to throw some further light on the subject.
It seems to be accepted by early genealogists (on what original authority I
do not know) that Rev. Thomas Carter was matriculated a sizar at St. John's
College, University of Cambridge, England, April i, 1626. Had he entered
the university less than four years later, Jan. 21, 1629-30, all questions as to
his home, parentage, etc., would have been known, for on the above date, the
following order was issued by the master of St. John's College :
"That the register of the college should have a booke provided him,
wherein he should from time to time write and register the names, parents,
REV. THOMAS CARTER. 27I
country, school, age and tutor of every one to be admitted into the college
before their enrolling into the buttery tables ; and shall receive of each of
them for his pains as the head lecturers and deans do, for their admission."
In accordance with the above order, such entries as the following thereafter
appear:
" James Parkinson, Son of James Parkinson, rector of Weeley, Essex ;
born at Weeley; school, Colchester {Mr. Kemp) for 2 years; admitted sizar,
surety Mr. Thurston, 17, Oct. aet. 16. (pd)."
Early investigators not unreasonably assumed that Rev. Thomas Carter was
identical with the Thomas Carter who embarked at London April 2, 1635, on
the Planter, Captain Trerice, with a number of others from St. Albans, as
"servant " to George Giddings, bound for New England. Later investigations
show- quite conclusively that the Thomas Carter who came over in the
Planter settled in Salisbury, Mass., although his age given in the record of
the Planter, twenty-five, corresponds exactly with that of Rev. Thomas
Carter of Woburn. It may be noticed here also that in the list of passengers
who embarked from London for Virginia in the Safty, Aug. 10, 1635,
are the names of John Carter, aged twenty-two, and Thomas Carter, aged
twenty-five. Another Thomas Carter, bom about 1610.
From the fact that early searchers took it for granted that Rev. Thomas
Carter of Woburn was identical with the Thomas Carter of the Planter, 1635,
who is said to be of St. Albans, Hertfordshire, some forty or more years ago,
Mr. George R. Carter of Leominster, Mass., employed Mr. Pavor, an English
genealogist, to search the parish registers of St. Albans and of Watford,
Hertfordshire, the latter being the parish in which is situated the manor of
Garston, seat of Richard Carter, lord of the manor of Garston, from whom
some have supposed that both John Carter of Virginia and Rev. Thomas
Carter of Woburn are descended. Mr. Pavor's search was unsuccessful, and
from a discovery made by the writer at Cambridge University in the summer
of 1900, it seems certain that Rev. Thomas Carter was not a native of
Hertfordshire at all, l)ut of Suffolk.
Through the courtesy of Mr. R. F. Scott, Bursar of St. John's College,
Cambridge, who very kindly made search among the old records of the
college, the following entity was discovered. It occurs in a list of students
who secured scholarships at the university, and is dated Nov. 5, 1628:
"Ego Thomas Carter Suffolciensis admissus sum discipulus hujus collegij
pro magistro Spaldinge."
The Spalding scholarship was founded by William Spalding, yeoman, of
Tamworth, in Suffolk, who gave /'60, and the scholar was to be chosen from
Bury St. Edmunds Grammar School, a school founded by King Edward VI
in 1550.
According to the Bursar, Mr. Scott, the above entry is evidence not only
that the holder of the scholarship was a resident of Suffolk at the time, but
that he was also a native of the county.
272 REV. THOMAS CARTER.
I might here mention the fact that photographic copies of the pages of the
Cambridge University Record book showing the signature of Thomas Carter
when he took the degree of A. B. in 1629, and of A. M. in 1633, may be seen
at the Woburn Public Library, Woburn, Mass. I have also deposited at the
Wobum Public Library photographic copies of manuscript known to be in
the handwriting of Rev. Thomas Carter, all of which prove conclusively that
the student of St. John's, Cambridge, and the first minister of Woburn were
one and the same individual. With these is also a photograph, among others,
of a deposition referred to in the " Pioneers of Massachusetts " as made by
Rev. Thomas Carter, which by comparison is seen conclusively not to be his
work. The deposition referred to is dated 17 (10) 1662, and was undoubtedly
made by Thomas Carter of Charlestown, son of Thomas Carter, blacksmith,
of Charlestown, who died 1652. In the deposition he gives his age as
"about fifty two," so that we have here a fourth Thomas Carter who was
born about 16 10. Three in New England and one in Virginia unless, as some
believe, the Thomas Carter who embarked for Virginia in the Safty, 1635,
came later to Massachusetts and became the first minister of Woburn.
Certainly nothing further is heard of this Thomas Carter in Virginia and there
are some good reasons for believing the above supposition to be true.
After learning that in all probability Rev. Thomas Carter was a native of
Suffolk and a graduate of Bury St. Edmund's School, I employed Mr. Vincent
B. Redstone of Woodbridge, Suffolk, who is secretary of the Suffolk
Archaeological Institute and a genealogist of wide reputation, to prosecute the
search for me in this county.
In the course of these investigations Mr. Redstone made careful search at
Cambridge University, at Bury St. Edmund's and among the records of the
county found at London as well as among the files and parish registers found
in various parts of Suffolk County itself. Nothing further of particular value
was found at Cambridge or at Bury or in London, and the results of the
search in Suffolk were not conclusive, but facts were brought to light which
may be of value in reaching a definite conclusion later on.
By the will of James Carter of Hinderclay, County Suffolk, Yeoman
(see Register vol. xxxix., page 335), at Somerset House, London :
" Memorandum that James Carter late whilst hee lived of Hinderclay in the

Comparing the three wills above noted, there seems to be no reasonable
doubt that the Gregory Carter who made the will in 1606 was the father of
James Carter who died 1625, and that the latter was the father of the James
whose will is dated Sept. 8, 1655, in which he refers to his brother Thomas
Carter in New England.
Gregory Carter, in his will of 1606, speaks of two children of his son
James, while James in 1655 mentions a sister and a brother, Thomas, making
three children, because Thomas was not born at the time the will of the elder
James was draw^n, or at his death, January, 1607.
Another will found at Bury St. Edmund's is that of Nicholas Carter of
Hinderclay, dated 1600; wife, Alice; son, Gregory; daughter, Alice; sister,
Marion, late wife of Bearte of Garboldsham. Lands in Hopton, Wattlysfield
and Barningham. Witnesses, Thomas and James Carter.
This was in all probability the Nicholas Carter who married Alice Spurgeon
in 1586, and it also seems probable that he was brother of Gregory Carter,
who died 1607, but this cannot be affirmed from the records given. Several
points make the construction of a pedigree difficult. Gregory Carter, senior,
who died January, 1607, has children of the same name as Gregory Carter,
Arms of St. John's College, Cambridge University, England
Arms of St. John's and Arms of the University united
REV. THOMAS CARTER. 275
junior. And besides the oft-repeated names of children, we have Alice and
Mary as wives' names for several ; and as the register only gives the father's
name, the entries are confusing.
We come now to the question as to which of the Thomas Carters who
emigrated to New England in the early days is referred to in the will of
James Carter, 1655. And in the first place we note that the names of the
children of all the early Carters about Boston are remarkably unlike the
names of the Carters of Hinderclay. Gregory, Nicholas, James, Edmund,
Robert, Humphrey, Jonathan, Jacob, Dorothy, scarcely occur among the
children of the first Carters, while we have instead Thomas, Mary, Samuel,
John, Martha, Joseph, and in the case of Rev. Thomas Carter of Wol^urn,
Judith, Abigail, Theophilus, Deborah and Timothy. In fact the children of
Rev. Thomas seem to have almost purely Bible names; the oldest son is
Samuel; the oldest daughter, Judith; the third child and second son,
Theophilus, while not until the fourth son and seventh child is born is a son
named for his father, Thomas.
Coming now to the question of which Thomas Carter was brother of
James of Hinderclay, we note first, that the Thomas Carter who came over
in the Planter, 1635, and afterwards settled in Salisbury, was from St. Albans,
Hertfordshire, according to the ship's entry; was twenty-five, hence born in
1610 and, so far as known, had no connection with the Carters of Hinderclay
or of Suffolk at all. It will be noticed from the Register of Hinderclay that
Thomas Carter, brother of James, was baptized July 3, 1608, and there really
seems no probability whatever that Thomas Carter of Salisbury was the
brother of James of Hinderclay.
Next consider Thomas Carter, blacksmith, of Charlestown, who died in
1652. He had children, mentioned in will, Thomas, eldest son, Samuel,
Joseph, John ; daughters, Hannah, Mary.
Now the eldest son, Thomas, deposed in 1662, that he was about fifty-two
years old, so he must have been born about 1610, and his father (deceased
1652) must have been born before 1600, and therefore could not have been
the brother of James, and of course the son, Thomas of Charlestown,
although born at nearly the right date, 1610, cannot possibly be the man, for
his father's name was Thomas.
We come then to the only man left who seems at all likely to be the
Thomas of the will, and that is Rev. Thomas Carter, first minister of
Woburn, and so far as I now see, only two circumstances appear to oppose
the theory. First his age at death, 1684, is given as seventy-four. If this is
correct, he must have been born in 1610.
But as is well known, "age at death " is very often incorrectly given. A
case in point is that of Thomas Carter, grandson of Reverend Thomas, who
is buried in Warren, Conn., died Nov. 18, 1772, " AE. 88" (tombstone). He
was son of Thomas and Margery Whitmore Carter, and according to
Woburn Records, was born June 13, 1686. Especially frequent were errors
of this kind in the early days. So that this objection is not serious.
276 DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER.
The other objection to the theory is the fact that the names of Rev.
Thomas Carter's children are so very unlike the names of the Hinderclay
Carters. But as we have seen, this is found to be true of all other Carters of
early New England, and so cannot be said to forbid the supposition. I might
here remark that the statement made in the " Pioneers of Massachusetts "
about Rev. Thomas Carter of Woburn, "born about 1608, as he deposed 17
(10), 1662," is an error of subtraction, as well as of fact. The deposition has
already been referred to above, and was made by Thomas Carter of Charles-
town, son of the blacksmith. Other circumstances which seem to point to
the truth of the theory that Thomas Carter, brother of James, was also the
first minister of Wobum, are that his father's will, 1625, indicates a man of
moderate means, such as a " sizar " at Cambridge often was ; again Hinder-
clay is near Cambridge University, at which place Rev. Thomas Carter was
graduated ; the grandfather and other relatives were certainly people of more
than ordinary means and such as would be likely to favor a college training.
However, I do not consider the evidence conclusive, and it is to be hoped
that further investigations may be carried out, and the question as to which
Thomas Carter is referred to in the will of James Carter, 1655, may be
definitely settled.
I will add that Mr. Redstone, who made the search for me, has already
examined a large number of records in various parts of Suffolk, but there are
still other sources of information which have as yet not been examined, and
which might yield the facts desired.
If anyone knows of facts which add to the information here given concern-
ing the questions raised about the early Carters, it is much to be desired that
they be made public, and the writer would be happy to co-operate with anyone
interested, and give all the facts in his possession. H. W. Carter.
From an article by William R. Cutter, in the Woburn Daily Times, Sept.
26, 1908.
Mr. Julian H. Tuttle, the assistant librarian of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, while examining the copy of an old volume in the Boston Public
Library, about three years ago, found pasted in the binding of the book the
fragments of an elegy, which he supposed possessed some interest. The
authorities of the Boston Public Library had the cover taken off and as much
saved of the fragments as possible.
The volume, which was small, was printed in 1685, presumably in
Cambridge, Mass,, and the elegy was used to strengthen the back. The elegy
was a sheet in the form of a handbill, or a "broadside."
The restoration of the handbill was not so complete as was wished ; the
most important part being destroyed the entire length of the back of the
book into whose binding it was incorporated. The presumption is that it was
an elegy on the death of the Rev. Thomas Carter, first pastor of the First
REV. THOMAS CARTER. 277
Church of Christ in Woburn, published in 1684, the year of his death. If so,
here was an important discovery and the matter was referred to the present
writer.
I have not satisfied my mind as to the correctness of its identification, but
Mr. Howard Williston Carter of Norfolk, Conn., after having seen the
fragments of the elegy at the Boston Public Library, to which I called his
attention, thinks there is no question about its reference to Mr. Carter, and
one or two other points about it are of special interest. " One is the state-
ment that he deceased in the 77th year of his age (1684). This may not be
true, but it is a definite statement by one who evidently was intimately
acquainted with the Wobum minister, and an educated man. The date of
the birth in this case would be 1608."

Wanen, Connecticut.
Warren, Connecticut, which has been the home, or the ancestral
home, of so many Carters of this line, was set olif from the town of
Kent in May, 1786, receiving its name from the gallant General
Warren who fell at Bunker Hill. Although it has always been one
of the smaller towns of the state, it has a most honorable record,
both as regards the prominent men it has raised up, and also as
regards the number and character of the sturdy pioneers who have
gone out from its borders. Many went to Vermont ; a large number
settled in New York and " New Connecticut " ; the towns of
Talmadge, Edinburgh, Ruggles and Canfield in Ohio, and Waverly,
Illinois, were largely settled from this place.
It is stated in the printed half-century sermon of the Rev. Peter
Starr, that 2837 persons had emigrated from the town during his
ministry, and history records that wherever they went they were
found among the foremost in every good work.
The following pages will be of interest to many, containing as they
do, the autographs of more than a hundred of the early pioneers and
first settlers of Warren, who contributed at this time, 1790, nearly
^4000 toward a permanent church fund.
The fine old town of Warren will have a "Home-Coming" to-morrow, the
2 1st, which will reach over into Sunday, when there will be appropriate
exercises in the old church on the hill where Dr. Horace Bushnell used to
attend service every summer and sometimes to preach. The town stands
fourth from the bottom of the list as regards population among the towns of
the state. It had 432 inhabitants according to the last census. Marlboro
with 322, Andover with 385 and Union with 428 came below it. Three
others, Bolton with 457, Salem with 468 and Scotland with 471, also had less
than 500 people each. There are forty-four towns with each less than 1000
of population. But size and number of people do not make the history of
the town. Warren has been the home of a splendid lot of citizens, and men
of eminence through the country have been — and now are — proud to trace
their lineage back to the thrifty and high-minded folk who tilled the unwilling
soil and breathed the pure air of that choice comer of Litchfield county. It
is absolutely country — not a factory in its limits, possibly in these days not
even a store. But it is a good deal nearer to heaven than some places that
make more pretensions.
From the Hartford (Ct.,) Courant, Aug. 20, 1909.
