  • Notes 
    • COL. MOSCOW B. CARTER
      COL. MOSCOW B. CARTER, of Franklin, Tenn., was born in that city, on Dec. 5, 1825. He is the son of Fountain B. and Mary (Atkinson) Carter, both natives of Virginia. The father was born in Halifax county, April 6, 1797, and was a son of Francis W. Carter, who was born in Virginia in 1767. Francis W. was the son of Samuel Carter, likewise a native of Virginia, but of French descent and a physician by profession. Francis Carter was a farmer by occupation. In 1809 he married Sarah Anderson, a native of Virginia, and soon afterward they removed to Williamson county, Tenn., settled about three miles from Franklin, where they passed the remainder of their lives. Seven children were born to them. Fountain B., father of Col. M.B. Carter, remained at home until a young man, when he went to Franklin, learned the shoemaker's trade and followed it for several years. Then he purchased a farm adjoining Franklin and lived there until his death at the age of seventy-six years. His wife died at the age of forty-six. Her father served as county surveyor and was justice of the peace for several years. Fountain B. and Mary Carter had twelve children born to them, but two of whom are living now: Col. M.B. Carter and his brother, Francis W., of California. M.B. Carter was educated in the Franklin schools and remained at home until twenty years old. In 1846 he organized a company for service in the Mexican war and was elected lieutenant. The company was not needed, however, so he went to Nashville and attached himself to Capt. Harris Maulden's company, which was mustered into service in May, 1846, and sent to Pt. Isabelle, Tex. Colonel Carter served twelve months, taking part at Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, and in numerous minor engagements. He returned home in 1847 and the same year made a trip to New Orleans, St. Louis and Chicago. He helped construct the first telegraph line in the State of Illinois. In 1848 he returned to Franklin, took up the occupation of surveyor and followed it for two or three years. In 1851 he was married to Orlena C. Dobbins, who was born near Boone's Hill in Lincoln county, Tenn. The same year he engaged in the grocery business, which he followed for two years. In 1854 he bought a farm four miles north of Franklin and was living there when the war broke out. He at once set to work to organize a company, of which he was elected captain, and it was mustered into the Confederate service as Company H, Twentieth Tennessee infantry. He was made lieutenant-colonel on the organization of the regiment, which was assigned to Zollicoffer's brigade. On Jan. 19, 1862, Colonel Carter was captured at the battle of Fishing Creek, but prior to that time he had been in a number of skirmishes. After seeing the inside of a number of prisons, Colonel Carter was exchanged at Aiken's Landing in August, 1862. He returned home, and in 1863 rejoined his old regiment, but remained only a short time, when he was paroled. He returned home and continued to live in the vicinity of Franklin until 1898, when he moved to Triune, where he lived for five years. At the end of that time he returned to the vicinity of his old home and now lives two miles south of Franklin. His first wife died in 1860, and he married again, in 1866, his second wife being America Cattles, a native of the county. She died in 1876, and Colonel Carter married Marmela E. Miot, a native of South Carolina. Five children were born to the first marriage, three of them being still alive: Mary O. Gillespie, of Franklin, and Walter F. and Hugh E., of Kansas. Of four born to the second marriage, those living are Alma Parry and Moscow B., of Franklin. The children of the third wife are Emma, at home, and Frank, in Nebraska. Colonel Carter is a member of the Masonic fraternity and is a Democrat in politics. At the present time he is living a retired life, seeking the rest and relaxation which his active and industrious career has earned. He is one of the most prominent men of the county and is now the oldest living native white-born child of Franklin, and the only veteran of the Mexican war now living in the county.
