Archibald Carter Biography.pdfDavie County Public Library 1 Archibald Carter Biography The following information was found in History of Davie County by James W. Wall, 1969, Davie County Historical Publishing Association, Mocksville, North Carolina. Page 91: In the years 1787-1836 Archibald Carter represented the Davie section of Rowan County in the North Carolina General Assembly. Others who represented the Davie section during those years were Jesse Pearson, George Mumford, George McCulloh, John Clement, Richmond Mumford Pearson, and Basil Gaither. Page 104: Mr. Carter purchased “The Oaks” plantation, south of Mocksville, in 1828. Mr. Peter Stuart Ney taught in a school located south of Mocksville in 1834-1835. This school was probably located near or on “The Oaks” plantation and was probably the school later known as “Baldy Carter School”. Page 115-117: When Davie County was created in 1836 the permanent county seat was designated to be the town of Mocksville or within two miles of the town. Five commissioners were appointed to find a location for a Court House and Jail. A deed dated March 3, 1837 states that Mr. A. G. Carter and wife Letitia Wilson Carter, Thomas McNeely, and Wiley Lowery sold or donated land for the sum of $234.40. A report submitted by the commissioners in February, 1840 indicates that the amount of land was 19 ¼ acres. The report, however, does not make clear who donated or sold land or how much land each owner donated or sold. Tradition has said though that the majority of the 19 acres were donated by Mr. McNeely and Mr. Carter. The commissioners’ report also notes that the 19 ¼ acres were laid off into lots and sold to the public for $11,582.50. Suitable sites for the Court House and Jail were secured and the buildings were erected at a total cost of $11,312.00. The difference of $306.24 was handed to the County Trustee. The commissioners secured the land and built the public buildings without levying a tax on the citizens of the county. In 1833, Mrs. Carter gave the site for the Methodist Church in Mocksville. Mr. Carter was a planter, businessman, legislator, and leader in promoting schools. The tax list for 1845 shows Mr. and Mrs. Carter owning more than 100 acres within the town limits. Page 255: In 1820 Letitia Wilson, 14 year-old daughter of Hugh Wilson (a large landholder who died in 1808), proposed the idea of enlarging Mocksville or Mocks Old Field into a town by laying off not over 75 acres with suitable streets, alleys, etc. Nothing further is known about this proposal. Davie County Public Library 2 The following information was found in the Biography-Carter file, Folder 1 of 2. A copy of a hand written death notice for Mrs. Letitia Wilson Carter- Carolina Watchman 1837. “Death of Mrs. Letitia P. Carter, the wife of A G Carter Esquire, departed this life on Tuesday the 16th (instant) at The Oaks in the vicinity of Mocksville, Davie County, aged 31 years. Mrs. Carter has left an affectionate husband, seven small children, a fond mother and many relations and friends to lament her death. She filled well her place in society, nobly sustained herself in the relation of life. As a wife, a mother, a daughter, a neighbor, well informed, effeminate, hospitable and pious. She was a valuable and beloved member of society.” The following information was found in the Biography-Carter file, Folder 1 of 2. The Carter Family The first few paragraphs are confusing as the date of death for William Carter is six years prior to the birth of his son William Carter. And the birth date of that William Carter is the same as the birth date of his son Thomas. Thomas Carter was born 9/19/1575 to William Carter who was married to Mary Anscell. Thomas Carter married Jane Bellay and they had nine children, one of whom was Capt. Thomas Carter, born about 1630. Capt. Thomas Carter was the first ancestor in America, arriving in Lancaster Co. Virginia at the age of 21. He settled along the Corotoman River. He was a planter and tobacco trader. He and his second wife, Katherine Dale had ten sons and three daughters. Capt. Thomas Carter died October 22, 1700. Capt. Thomas’ second son, Thomas Carter, Jr. was born June 4, 1672 and inherited the family home on the Corotoman River. Thomas Carter, Jr. took the oath as Justice of the Lancaster court on December 12, 1705 and served until May 14, 1729. He married Arabella Williamson on August 22, 1695 and they had eight sons. Thomas Carter III was born about 1696. Thomas Carter, Jr. died September 30, 1733. Thomas Carter III married Joana Miller about 1723 and they had two sons. Jesse Carter was born in 1724. Thomas Carter III died in 1735 and his wife died in 1737. Jesse Carter died in Pittsylvania Co., VA in November, 1811. Jesse Carter was a schoolmaster while living in Lancaster Co. He first married Susan Satterwhite and after her death he married Mary Chattin. He moved the family home from the Corotoman River to Cumberland Co., VA in 1761 where they lived until 1781. Then they moved to Pittsylvania Co. VA. In 1785 he purchased 1300 acres of land on both sides of the Bannister River and built a large house called “Oakland”. Jesse Carter and Susan Satterwhite had three children. Jesse Carter, Jr. was the oldest of the three. Jesse Carter, Jr., born in Lancaster Co., VA, was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. After the war he married Ann Paine of Pittsylvania Co., VA. He and Ann had three children, including Archibald Gracie Carter, born March 25, 1801 and died May 19, 1880. Ann Paine passed away at a fairly young age and Jesse Carter, Jr. married her sister Elizabeth Paine. Jesse and Elizabeth had two children. After Elizabeth’s death Jesse Carter, Jr. moved to Caswell Co., NC and married Sarah Brown on December 17, 1809. They had two children. Jesse Carter, Jr. passed away in 1815 in Caswell Co., NC. Archibald Gracie Carter and his younger brothers and sisters were orphaned at a fairly young age and placed under the guardianship of the Honorable Romulus Saunders. Archibald Carter graduated from the University of North Carolina having finished his course at law in 1821. He opened an office in Mocksville where he followed his profession as well as looking after his plantation. He owned several thousand acres of land and about 150 slaves. The home was known as “The Oaks” and was located about 1.5 miles from his office. Davie County Public Library 3 Archibald Gracie Carter was married three times. His first wife was Letitia Wilson from Charlottesville, VA, born February 6, 1802 and died August 16, 1837. They had four boys and three girls: 1. Hugh Wilson Carter- born April 12, 1824 and died July 10, 1849. He graduated from the University of North Carolina in law and was never married. 2. William Franklin Carter- born March 28, 1826 and died February 27, 1856. He was also a lawyer and married Cora Galloway of Rockingham Co., NC on August 8, 1849. (According to the family record in the Carter Family Bible this is Cora Isora Gallaway.) 3. Jesse Carter- born March 28, 1828 and died at “Eagle Falls”, Rockingham Co., NC on April 27, 1894. He was a doctor and married Cora Isora Carter, the widow of his brother William Franklin Carter in 1859. At that time he moved to “Eagle Falls.” 4. Elizabeth Mitchell Carter- born March 25, 1830 and died April 5, 1916. She married Rev. P.H. Dalton on December 14, 1852. 5. Ann Payne Carter- born May 21, 1832 and died July 30, 1899. She married Dr. William Carter Brown on May 4, 1851. 6. Cornelius Carter 7. Latitia Wilson Carter- born December 22, 1836 and died August 11, 1903. She married Oliver Hawes Spencer, Jr. Archibald married Mary Ann McGradie after Letitia passed away. He and Mary Ann had one son, Robert M. Carter. (This is the only reference found thus far to Mary Ann McGradie. All other references to Mr Carter’s second wife are Mary Ann McRorie.) On March 14, 1866 Archibald married Margaret Sterling. They had no children. Margaret passed away on August 1, 1903. Davie County Public Library 4 The following information was found in cemetery records of various gravesites in Davie and Rowan Counties in the Biography-Carter file, Folder 2 of 2. Letitia Wilson Carter Spangler, daughter of A. G. and L. W. Carter, born December 22, 1836 and died August 11, 1903, in Rose Cemetery. (The last name, Spangler, may be incorrect. Newspaper article , “Early Settlers of ‘Mocks Old Field’—Hugh Wilson – Archibald Carter”, by Gordon Tomlinson, February 8, 1979 pages 8-9, appeared in the Davie County Enterprise Record and found in the Grady McClamrock folder indicates that this daughter married Oliver Hawes Spencer, Jr. The dates of birth and death in the cemetery record matches the dates found in other records for Letitia Wilson Carter but no other records can be found for her marriage to D. H. Spangler. All other records including the Carter family Bible list Oliver Spencer Hawes, Jr. as her husband.) Archibald Carter, born March 29, 1801 and died March 20, 1882 in Turrentine Baptist Church Cemetery. The following information was found in a paper entitled “Hugh Wilson and Archibald G. Carter Among the First Settlers in Mock’s Old Field, then Rowan County, now Davie County.” By Mary Jane Heitman, Mocksville, NC. This paper is in the Biography- Carter file, Folder 2 of 2. Archibald Gracey Carter was born in Caswell County, NC on March 29, 1801. He was married on June 17, 1823 to Letitia Mitchell Wilson. He and Letitia had seven children: 1. Hugh Wilson Carter-died in childhood 2. William Franklin Carter- became a lawyer and lived at “Ingleside” near Wentworth, NC (Other sources list this as “Eagle Falls” in Rockingham County, NC, the location of Wentworth.) 3. Jesse Carter- became a doctor and moved to Mobile, AL 4. Eliza Mitchell Carter- married Rev. P.H. Dalton 5. Anne Paine Carter- married first Dr. William Brown and second Willis Smith 6. Cornelius Carter 7. Letitia Wilson Carter- married Oliver Hawes Spencer, Jr. Archibald’s wife, Letitia passed away on August 16, 1837. Archibald promoted schools, among them the Mocksville Academy, of which Rev. Baxter Clegg was the noted teacher. After Letitia passed away, Archibald married Mary Ann McRorie of Salisbury and they had one child, Robert McRorie Carter. Mary Ann passed away and Archibald married Margaret Sterling. They had no children. Davie County Public Library 5 The following information was found in the Grady McClamrock folder. Hugh Wilson, a native of Charlottesville, VA, was among the earliest settlers of Mock’s Old Field. His first purchase of land in North Carolina is dated April 27, 1803 in old Rowan County. On April 30, 1805 he married Elizabeth M. Causey of Prince Parish, Georgetown, SC. She was born in September, 1785, the daughter of an Episcopal Rector. She was related to President John Quincy Adams and John (should be James) K. Polk. Hugh and Elizabeth Wilson had a daughter, Letitia Mitchell Wilson, born February 6, 1806. Hugh Wilson died in 1808 at the age of 45 and his widow became the second wife of Gen. Jesse Pearson, half-brother of Chief Justice Romulus Pearson. She died in May, 1861. Letitia Mitchell Wilson married Archibald Gracie Carter (born in Caswell Co, NC March 29, 1801) on June 17, 1823. She died on August 16, 1837 (1839?- another document in the McClamrock folder lists 1839 as the year of her death but her obituary was in the Carolina Watchman, 1837 according to a document found in the Biography-Carter file, Folder 1 of 2) and Archibald died in 1882. The following information was found in the Grady McClamrock folder. The home of A. G. Carter was called “The Oaks” and was located near Mocksville. A circular driveway of oak and hickory trees led up to the front yard. The front yard was bordered with cedars and the lawn was surrounded with walks bordered with boxwood. The house was spacious, built of logs and weatherboard. The ceilings were high and the walls were plastered. The doors and mantels were said to have come from England. There was a greenhouse on the south side and off from the house was an old fashioned kitchen with a huge fireplace in which the meals were cooked. A flower garden and a vegetable garden were located in the back. In the flower garden a summer home was encircled by boxwoods. There was an office to the left of the house and beyond that was a pond and ice house. The following article, “Early Settlers of ‘Mocks Old Field’—Hugh Wilson – Archibald Carter”, by Gordon Tomlinson, February 8, 1979 pages 8-9, appeared in the Davie County Enterprise Record and is found in the Grady McClamrock folder. Archibald Gracey Carter was born in Caswell County on March 29, 1801. He married Letitia Mitchell Wilson on June 17, 1823. About 1928 (this date should be 1828) he purchased “Bentley” a 900 acre plantation just south of US 601. (That location is described in the article as including the Lowery Farm and that owned by Armand Daniel, west of US 601 South.) A trading post, post office, and school were located on the property. The school was known as the “Baldy Carter School”. It was there prior to 1796 and known as the Dr. John Henry Freeland School. Peter Stuart Ney taught at this school. In 1820, Letitia, daughter of Hugh Wilson proposed the idea of a much enlarged town of Mocksville. The proposal is in the minutes of the Rowan Court of Equity, September, 1820: “Letitia P. Wilson, by her guardian, ex parte. This petition heard and ordered that John P……, Hugh Braly, Alexander Nesbit, Samuel Jones and John Paine Carter be appointed commissioners to lay off not over 75 acres at Mocksville or Mocks Old Field into a Town (with) suitable streets, alleys, etc., making two plats (one for the Clerk and the other for the Register of Rowan County) to sell them at auction and at what prices to the next term of court.” Nothing came of this proposal. The legislative act creating Davie County in 1836 stipulated that the permanent seat of the new county should be in or within two miles of the town of Mocksville At the first court in February, 1837 five commissioners were appointed to select a place for a courthouse and jail. 19 ¼ acres of land were procured by the commissioners from A. G. Carter and wife Letitia, Wiley M. Lowery, and Thomas Davie County Public Library 6 McNeely at a cost of $234.40. Tradition says that Mr. Carter and Mr. McNeely donated most of the 19 acres. Mrs. Letitia Carter gave the lot in Mocksville on which the first Methodist Church was built in 1833. Archibald Carter was an early justice in Davie County and was very interested in promoting the schools of Mocksville. Archibald and Letitia Carter had seven children- Hugh Wilson Carter (died in childhood), William Franklin Carter (became a lawyer near Wentworth, NC), Dr. Jesse Carter, Eliza Mitchell Carter (married Rev. P. H. Dalton), Anne Paine Carter (married Dr. William Brown), Cornelius Carter, and Letitia Carter (married Oliver Hawes Spencer, Jr.), After Letitia Carter passed away, Archibald married Mary Anne McRorie of Salisbury. They had one child, Mary Anne McRorie Carter. (According to a paper entitled “Hugh Wilson and Archibald G. Carter among the First Settlers in Mock’s Old Field, then Rowan County, now Davie County. By Mary Jane Heitman, Mocksville, NC. Found in the Biography- Carter file, Folder 2 of 2, this child was a son, Robert.) After Mary Anne Carter passed away, Archibald married Margaret Sterling. They did not have children. The following article, “Reminders of ‘The Oaks’ and It’s People”, by Kathy Tomlinson, February 8, 1979 page 8, appeared in the Davie County Enterprise Record and is found in the Grady McClamrock folder. In the early 1900’s “The Oaks” was sold to an Early family and was later bought by Dr. W. C. Martin. Dr. Martin sold the mantelpiece and some of the doors, said to have originally come from England, to one of the Hanes families of Winston-Salem. In the 1850’s Archibald Carter built an office building at the intersection of Gaither and North Main Streets for his son Dr. Jesse Carter. The building stood at that location for over 100 years and became the office of E. L. Gaither in 1884 and later Rufus Sanford, Jr. In 1967 the building was moved by Gaither Sanford to his property located at 399 North Main Street. There is a copy of pages of a Record of Deeds in the Grady McClamrock folder. The last paragraph of page 596 of that book looks like it is dated April 19th, 1833. It is very difficult to read but appears to describe the land transaction that created the town of Mocksville. The following article appeared in The Winston-Salem Journal and Sentinel, Sunday Morning, December 13, 1931. The title of the article is “Two Early Citizens of Mocksville, Hugh Wilson and Archibald Carter, Had Active Part in Davie Affairs” by Mary J. Heitman. This article can be found in the Grady McClamrock folder. Most of the information concerning Archibald Carter in this article has already been documented in other locations. However, this is the oldest of the articles so some of the information may have come from this article or from the same source as this one. Please note in this article that Mr. Carter is said to be a native of Caldwell County but later states that he was born in Caswell County. All of the other documents found thus far list Caswell County as his place of birth. Mr. Carter was interested in promoting the schools in Mocksville, among them the Mocksville Academy of which Rev. Baxter Clegg was a noted teacher. Davie County Public Library 7 The following information was found in the Davie County Public Library Biography file for Pearson Folder 1 of 2. Copy of Davie County Deed Book 1 Page 599 A deed was recorded for the February 28, 1828. It is an indenture made by Ebinezer Nelson to Thos. McNeely, James F. Martin, William F. Kelly, A. G. Carter, A. R. Jones, and Richmond Pearson Trustees of the Mocksville Academy, incorporated by act of the General Assembly of the State of North Carolina at its ??? commencing on December 25, 1826. The deed is for the sum of $40 paid to Mr. Nelson by the Mocksville Academy Trustees. The deed describes the boundaries of the property by roads, corner stones, and surveyor’s chains and links. Davie County Public Library 8 The following information was found in the Carter Family Bible. The Bible was donated by Mrs. F. M. Johnson, one of Archibald Carter’s grandchildren in 1932. According to her note the Bible was 109 years old at that time, meaning that it was printed in 1823. A newspaper article, “Death Comes To Dr. Spencer At Home Here”, from the Winston-Salem (N. C.) Journal, July 1, 1938, pages 1-2, describes the passing of Dr. William Oliver Spencer. He was the son of Oliver Hawes and Letitia Wilson Carter Spencer, making him Archibald Carter’s grandson. Dr. Spencer was born at The Oaks on April 21, 1863. Surviving Dr. Spencer were his widow, Mrs. Mary Kerr Spencer, three sons, W. O. Spencer, Jr., John Kerr Spencer, and Frank Graves Spencer, seven grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. F. M. Johnson, and one brother, Frank Carter Spencer.
