"Samuel Carter, farmer and stock buyer, Odell, Tippecanoe county, was born in Ross County, Ohio, October 18, 1809. He was reared a farmer, and has always followed that occupation, but for a number of recent years has also dealt in stock.
In 1833 he came to Indiana, and made his home about Redwood Point in Warren County, for a year; then he came into the Shawnee neighborhood. In 1835 he bought where he now lives, and the succeeding year, May 27, was married to Anna, daughter of James F. Mills, an original pioneer settler in Davis township.
They have six children: Margaret E., born March 27, 1837 (married Stephen Beach; died November 3, 1868); Amanda, August 4, 1838 ( died next day); Elizabeth, October 18, 1840 (wife of Alexander Bever, of Hillsboro); James F., September 18, 1842; Caroline, November 3, 1844 (wife of A. T. Sayers); and Robert, December 6, 1847.
Mr. Carter and his wife are prominent members of the Baptist church. He has filled the office of trustee of the township, and is one of the leading and substantial men of the community. In politics he is a democrat." - History of Fountain County, Indiana, By H.W. Beckwith, 1881
