--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Carter was a Veteran of the Revolutionary War and served from the State of North Carolina. He was born 1745 in Cumberland Co North Carolina. He died in the Mississippi Territory on the 2nd of April, 1812. One year after he moved to the area from Georgia. All of Matthew Carter's children came to Mississippi with the exception of a daughter, Susanna.

The wife of Matthew was Cassandra Barbour (Barber), daughter of Lt. William Barbour. She lived with and among her children in Jackson Co. until her death in 1836.

The following was copied (exactly not altered for spelling) from a letter that Matthew Carter wrote to Griffin Mizelle and Susannah his wife.

Directed to Mr. William Williams, living in the new purchase of Georgia, Jones Co. in Clinton, politeness of Mr. Neel by hand. Dated 11 June, 1811.

Dear Mr. William Williams, sir: After my compliments to you, please to send this few lines to Mr. Griffin Mizelle my son-in-law by first opportunity.

Dear Son and Daughter: In answer to your request I embrace this opportunity of informing you that we are all in common health at present. hopeing that these will find you well. In five weaks and 2 days we arrive to Chickashwhay without any loss or disappointment of note.

We expect in a few days to set out for Pascagoula where I have choosed me a place and there expect to settle myself and son William and William Goff all neare together. Matthew has gone on to Pearl River but expects to return at fall without he likes there extraordainary well. I am well pleased with the prospect of the country for I think it good, that is the cain land, water and range, and how the trade is will be unknown. Now things can be got reasonable. Provisions is hi (high) but we have lade (laid) in a supply of corn and 20 cows and calves.

Let this suffice for the present and when I have got more perfectly acquainted I'll rite more fully. No more at present, but remain bound to you in parential affection. signed Matthew Carter.

Since Matthew and his family was considerable north of the Pascagoula, it is most likely that he was near his brother, Isaac who was in Perry Co. MS.

Matthew and Cassandra were the parents of six known children.

1. Susannah Carter, was born 1780 SC., and died 31 August, 1848 in GA. She married 29 May, 1797 in GA., to Griffin Mizelle.
