Notes
a. Note:   Notes for JOHN CARTER: John Carter, a son of Capt. Jesse Carter (see Vol. 1), was born in South Carolina in 1809, and grew up in Tattnall and Appling Counties in Georgia. There being a cousin of the same name in Lowndes County fifteen years older, the subject usually signed his name "John Carter, Jr." and by many of his day and since, he has been referred to as "Bay John Carter" inasmuch as he lived near Grand Bay in Lowndes County. Mr. Carter married Elizabeth Knight, born September 23, 1811, in Wayne County, daughter of Rev. William A. Knight and his wife, Keziah. Mr. Carter and wife united with Union Primitive Baptist Church in 1840 and were baptized. Upon the organization of Unity Church nearer their home, they transferred their membership there and were members there until their deaths. Mr. Carter was a Justice of Lowndes Inferior Court 1853-1857. He also fought in the Indian War of 1836-1838. He died in 1864, and his sons, M. M. Carter and Aaron Carter administered his estate. He owned lots 335, 336 and 356 in the 11th district of Lowndes County, and lived on one of these lots. 406 acres of this land was set apart as a dowry to the widow and the administrators were given leave September 1874, to sell the remainder of the property, which was done. The widow died about 1890.
