Notes for JOSEPH C. CARTER:

JOSEPH C. CARTER

PVT CO E 17th LA INFANTRY C.S.A.

 

Joseph Columbus Carter was born in Clark County, Alabama on Feb. 8, 1822. His parents were George W. and Ruth Carter. George Washington Carter was born in Maryland in 1780. His wife Ruth was born in North Carolina. In George's lifetime he migrated from Maryland to North Carolina to Georgia, to Clark County , Alabama.

Then in his old age moved on to Ouachita Parish, Louisiana before 1850. His sons James and Joseph and their families all came to La. together. Joe lived in Ouachita Parish with his first wife,  Mary Leonard and their two children, Millard and Sarah Jane.

Many of the descendents believe that Mary was a full-blooded Indian.

Joseph C. enlisted in the Confederate Army in Sept 1861 at Camp Moore at the age of thirty-eight, twice the age of most men going to war. He served under Capt. Madison Rogers and Col. S.S. Heard. He was described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall, light complexion, blue eyes, dark hair and by reputation a farmer. Joe was not wounded in service, but released before the end of the war on a sick furlough May 12, 1862, serving less than one year.

He was paid $8.00 traveling allowance from Vicksburg, Mississippi to Monroe, La. (80 miles at 10 cents per mile ). He also received $25 for clothing; his total severance pay totaling $37. 40. He was home in Ouachita Parish at the end of the war.

One year after the Civil War's end, on June 14,1866 Joe Carter married Mary Ellen Griffin, age 18, who was quite a catch for an old man of 44.

Mary Ellen could read and write and taught school for awhile. He and Mary had twelve children, six who lived to adulthood. The other six were buried in a row at the entrance of Carter Cemetery.

Joe and Mary Carter lived in Ward 5 in Union Parish and raised their children here. Joe said he was away only one year in 1875, spending that year in Arkansas. In the 1900 census Joseph ' s family was living between G .Marion Carter and John Carter, with his daughter Lula and children living next door. Joe died here March 11, 1909. He had walked a long distance to attend another Carter's funeral and collapsed on the way back home. Joseph Columbus Carter lived 87 years. In that time he worked hard as a farmer, raised a large family, and freely served his county as he volunteered immediately, despite being twice the age of most recruits. We honor his memory today!

Notes for ALONZO C. CARTER:

Alonzo C. Carter Born at Columbia, La. in Sept. 30, 1867  Some accounts list 1873.

Father Millard Carter  b.1848-d.1878  Mother: Helen Cotton

Family History: Father: Millard Carter. born in Ouachita Parish  died  about  the age of 30 with tumor in chest. Helen Cotton Carter died before 1870.

 Step- Mother: Frances Fife, born ?. married June 12,1870. in Monroe, La. d in 1876 of ;congestive chill in child birth. One brother and one one-half sister.

Alonzo Carter's medical statement to Veterans Administration. He was two or three when his mother Helen Cotton Carter died. His step mother  Frances Fife Carter died when he was eight or nine. His father died when he was Eleven years old and as he stated

"I was raised as an orphan. I practically raised my-self and also took care of my brother. We just worked about and stayed with different folks. He stated his marriage record are at

 Farmerville, La.  and he had not been married previously.

 

Spanish American War was a short war. Alonzo served from June 22,1898-Oct. 03, 1898 Discharged at Jacksonville, Fla. about 3wks after fighting had stopped.

Pvt. Co. F. 1st Reg. La. Inf. Vol. His Commanding Officer was Capt.  E. E. Kidd of Winnfield, La.  On August 07,1898  Alonzo was injured by a lightening strike at Miami, Florida which required being confined to quarters. During the return trip from Miami to Jacksonville Alonzo was injured while driving a wagon carrying his units supplies. The wagon wheel fell through a hole in a bridge causing Alonzo to fall to the ground and a cook stove fell on him. This was near his discharge date and he didn't linger to file a claim. He did file a claim when he reached Louisiana claiming a rupture. Although he was examined several times by the V.A. they could not substantiate his injury. June 21,1921 Downsville Physician Victor F. Carey examine Alonzo and found  ruptured muscles on the left side of the abdomen. Thanks to Dr. Carey the V.A. Physicians were able to find the injury and evidence of healed broken ribs, that eventually leading to a partial disability claim.  His medical records show that he also had been injured in the timber industry several times. He had incurred fractures to his left arm and thumb when he was hit by a falling tree . The V.A doctors stated his arm had been broken in five places and a broken thumb with some of these fracture did not heal properly. He was described by his doctors as a man who had worked hard all his life.

 

He states after he was discharged from the Army he lived in Winnsboro, La.  (1898-1899) Point ,La.  (1900 married). Jonesboro , La.  (Jackson Parish. ) Many in Sabine Parish  and back to Point Union Parish until he moved to Waverly in 1928. Some records show Charlie Carter born in Sabine Parish.

The younger sister of Millard Fillmore Carter  was Sarah Jane Penanta Ann Carter who married  Shadrick Wall .  Millard had several half brothers and sisters.  After Millard's death it is not clear who Alonzo, John or his sister lived with. Alonzo was a witness at a wedding in 1904 in Point for his aunt Susannah Carter who married Julius "Jules" Thorne who's parents are from Baskin of Franklin Parish.

 

Alonzo worked for both Franklin and Madison Parish Police Juries from 1928 to 1941 as a Ferry operator on the Bayou Mason. The Name of the Ferry site was named after local resident Hana Crosby.
