Joseph John and Jane (Anderson) Carter, both natives of Georgia, and of old American families. Their seven sons and one daughter were: Christopher B., now deceased; John J.; William T.; Hubbard, who died in infancy; Ernest A., of the firm of W. T. Carter & Brother; Lucien C.; Clarence L., member of the Houston bar; and Claudia G. The father of this family was one of the early lumbermen of Wood County. He located near the present town of Mineola in 1857. During the war he was captain of Colonel Hubbard's regiment of Walker's division. His chief work during many years of his life was as an educator. After the close of the war he taught school in different counties, including Smith, Rusk, Cherokee and Angelina. He lived to venerable years, dying in 1907. His wife, Jane (Anderson) Carter, was a sister of the noted Confederate leader, Tom Anderson, best known in historical accounts as "Tige Anderson." Another family connection was Governor Hubbard of Texas, who was a nephew of the late Joseph J. Carter. In 1872 he re-entered the lumbering and milling business at Trinity in Trinity County. In this he was succeeded in 1878 by his sons, William T. and Ernest A. Historical Review of South-East Texas and the Founders, Leaders and Representative Men, Vol 2, by Dermot Hardy and Maj.
