Jessie Carter became a farmer and a shoemaker according to family

history. He came to Indiana from Kentucky around 1848. It is likely

that he first came into Warrick County crossing the Ohio river not far

from Evansville. The 1850 Census (dated 26 Sep, 1850) for Hart Twp,

Warrick County records his presence there along with his wife and six

children. The record shows his occupation as a farmer owning 450 acres

of land. Family oral history says Jessie came to Indiana in 1848 and

settled near Winslow in Pike County. Since Pike County is just north

of Warrick County it is possible that he first resided in Warrick and

then moved to Pike County, or county lines may have shifted and the

area near Winslow may have at the time of the 1850 census actually

been in Warrick county. The census documents the family names and

dates as Jessie(42), wife Sarah(46), Sarah M.(17), William(13),

Andrew(11), Susan(10), Parthena(8), and Martha(6). The oldest son

James through whom the family line descends is not recorded since he

was 22 years of age and had married earlier that year in April.

Jessie at some point during the following years moved into Winslow,

Indiana where he was lving at the time of his death in 1880. His wife

Sarah died the next year in 1881.
