He was an active Democrat, and he and wife were prominent Baptists. Carter grew up a pioneer farmer, and received a fair education at the peculiar schools of that day. When twenty-one years of age, he began teaching for his neighbors; he also worked on the farm until 1838, when he located in this county, and entered 240 acres at $1.25 per acre, where he erected a cabin and resided therein while unfinished.
