Kindred Carter was born approximately 1750 to Isaac Carter and Sarah Brown (Browne). Kindred was the ancestor of President Jimmy Carter. James and and his brother Kindred Carter (c. 1750-1800) moved to Warren County, Ga. around 1780 from the Bertie-Edgecombe-Hertford area of northeastern North Carolina where his family had lived for several years.
Kindred Carter arrived in Georgia in 1787, the year the U.S. Constitution was written. Kindred started a farm on 307 acres “ceded from the Cherokees” (according to the euphemism of one of Carter’s biographers) in northeast Georgia, near Augusta, which he operated with the help of ten slaves. [1]
He was of the 5th generation in descent from Thomas Carter, Sr. who came in 1637 from England to Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Thomas Carter's only known child was Thomas, Jr., who married Magdalene Moore and left a will in 1710. In that will, Thomas, Jr. did not name all of his children, but Moore Carter (c. 1680-1741) who married Jane and moved to Bertie County, North Carolina, is believed to have been his son. Moore left a will naming a son Isaac who married Ruth and died after 1790. Isaac and Ruth were the parents of Kindred and James, among others. Kindred and James both came to Georgia.
"Kindred Carter settled in Richmond County, Georgia on the frontier of the new state along Little Germany Creek. This land became part of Columbia Co. in 1790 and is now in McDuffie Co. lying approximately 35 miles west of Augusta along the old Augusta - Wrightsboro Road. At Kindred's death in 1800, his estate was divided five ways, although only four heirs are known " [2][3][4]
