The Chinkypin I, II, III and Addendum (pages 286 - 302), published by the Echols County Historical Society, Inc., in Statenville, Echols, Georgia, United States, traces the pioneer ancestors of Echols County, which includes Jonathan as one of the pioneer children of Jacob Carter [1]
John is found on the First Census of the newly formed United States, published in 1790 from 1783 tax records. He is living in Surry county, North Carolina. [2] In 1800, John is living in Salisbury, Surry County, North Carolina. [3]

'Note: The only children's names mentioned in the papers of John Carter and Lydia are Sarah, Clement, John and Charles. Sarah married Willis Joyner (Willis died in Surry, NC). John Carter was appointed guardian to Sarah Joyner's son, Willis Joyner (Jr.). This Willis Joyner received $5 from John Carter, guardian, upon the age of 21.
If Lydia married Jonathan in 1775 she is most likely not the mother of the children born prior to 1775.
