Biography

Ann Ansley (daughter of Abel Ansley and Lydia Morris) was born 1801, and died 1848 in Warren County, Georgia^[1].

Family History

William Ansley married Rebecca Cox and they had the following children: Mary, Ann, Thomas, Benjamin, Rebecca and William Ansley, Jr.

Thomas Ansley married in Monmouth County then moved to Warren County, Georgia. Mary, his sister, and her husband Job also married in Monmouth County and Mary moved to Warren County with the children after Job died.

It was in Warren County, Georgia where Thomas' son Abel Ansley and Mary's daughter Lydia Morris (first cousins) married on January 30, 1790. Jimmy Carter is descended from Abel and Lydia through their daughter Ann Ansley who married Wiley Carter on February 18, 1821 in Warren County, Georgia, son of James Carter and Eleanor Duckworth.^[2].

Wiley and Ann Carter's son, Littleberry Walker Carter, married Mary Ann Diligent Seals and moved to Sumter County, Georgia. Jimmy is their great grandson.

When Thomas moved to Georgia, he settled in Wrightsboro, a community Royal Governor Wright gave to emigrating Quakers for religious freedom, thereby giving Augusta a buffer from the Indians. Thomas fought in the Revolution and when he returned from the war the elders would no longer let him live in Wrightsboro (anti-war, anti-violence, royalists that they were). As a result Thomas bought land just outside Wrightsboro and built a house for his family, known as the Rock House, which still stands and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Story of Wiley Carter

Wiley was a strong-willed man who believed in defending his rights as a citizen. Courthouse records show that in 1843, when he was forty-five years old, and the father of ten children, he had a heated argument with a former business partner Usry. He rode out with a posse to confront Usry. The confrontation lasted eight hours. Carter shot Usry. There was a one-day trial and Wiley was acquitted. After this time, the family moved away and established a home in what was then known as Plains of Dura.^[3]

Wiley married Ann Ansley on Feb 18,1821 in Warren County, Georgia. He had five sons: Walker, Jesse, Sterling, Calvin, Wiley; and seven daughters, Louise, Ann, Armanda, Caroline, Euphrasia, Julia and Jane. and after her death he married Sarah Ross (Sarah Chestnut Wilson) on Jan 25,1849 in Warren County, Georgia.
