Suggested edit: The following transcription is excerpted from the Appendix of S.M. Carlton’s 1884 pamphlet entitled DIAGRAM OF THE CHURCH. [FYI: Dr. Carlton wrote in the plural person instead of in first person, so “I” became “we”, “me” became “us”, etc.]
“We were born of humble, but honest parents, October the 1st, A.D. 1830, in the County of Thomas, and State of Georgia. In the winter of 1837 and 1838, father moved into Lowndes County, a distance of about 6-7 miles…
Our father and mother were reared and married in Duplin Co., N.C. and emigrated from thence to Thomas County, Georgia; between the years 1818 & 1823. Our father’s name was Shadrick CARLTON and our mother’s maiden name was Catherine SLOAN.
Our grandfather Carlton’s name was David and our grandfather SLOAN’S name was John.
Our father had one brother whose name was Henry, and three sisters whose names we do not remember.
Our mother had one brother and one sister, whose names were John and Elizabeth, who emigrated to Georgia with our parents, both of whom raised large families. Mother’s sister marrying our great uncle Hardy CARLTON; mother being the youngest of the three; she married my father several years after the marriage of her sister.
Our parents raised 8 children, Viz: Harmon, Margaret, Susan, Elvie, John Sloan, Blake, Snider Miles (who is author of this manual) and Catherine.
In January 1845, our mother moved from Georgia to Alabama, and settled in Coffee County, and father returned to N.C. to look after his interest in his father’s estate. Our dear old mother, together with brothers and sisters (except Sister Susan, who remained in Thomas Co., Ga.) emigrated to Texas and Miss., leaving us alone. Mother died in Houston Co., Texas, in the fall of 1858. Father followed her in death in the Spring of 1859. They now sleep by each other in old Randolph Cemetery.”
