Son of Francis Watkins and Sarah Holcomb Anderson Carter, Fountain Branch Carter was born in Virginia and moved west to Tennessee with his family in the early 19th Century. The Francis Carter log home still stands on Waddell Hollow Road.
In 1823 he married Mary "Polly" Armistead Atkinson, granddaughter of the Reverend John Atkinson who fought in the American Revolution. They were the parents of twelve children, eight of whom survived to adulthood. Two of their children's graves have not been identified, one being the one for little Samuel Carter who died June 11, 1837 from a fall from the staircase landing, and for Annie Vick Carter McKinney Baltishweiler, b. Nov. 16, 1838 and d. June 2, 1901 in Triune, Tennessee.
The Battle of Franklin was fought around the Carter House on Nov 30, 1864, while family and neighbors sheltered in the basement. Fount Carter's son, Capt. Theodrick "Tod" Carter, CSA, was mortally wounded in the battle and died in his home two days later. Financially ruined by the war and the government's refusal to compensate him for the extensive damages to his property, Fountain Branch sold off much of his land after the war. He died in 1871 and was laid to rest beside his beloved wife, who had died in 1852 and never had to witness the horror of the war in her home.

In 1830, Fountain Branch Carter built a one-and-a-half story brick house just south of downtown Franklin for his small family. He and his wife Polly had twelve children, eight of whom reached adulthood. The sons included Moscow Branch (1825), James Fountain (1831), Theodrick IV ?Tod? (1840), and Francis Watkins (1842). The daughters were Mary Alice (1835), Sarah Holcomb (1837), Annie Vick (1838), and Frances Hodge (1844).
Though Fountain had successfully operated a business in town, following the construction of his new home he had the opportunity to pursue farming. In just twenty years the Carter farm grew from nineteen acres to two hundred and eighty-eight. Fountain also added a cotton gin which increased the farm?s value and production immensely.
On November 30, 1864, the Battle of Franklin raged across the fields south of town, scarring the landscape, claiming the lives of thousands and changing life on the Carter farm forever.
Before daybreak Federal Brig. Gen. Jacob D. Cox woke the Carter family, took possession of the house and made the parlor his headquarters. The fighting began at 4 pm in the waning afternoon sunlight when 20,000 Confederates attacked a similar number of entrenched Federals. The Carter family, the Lotz family from across the street, and several Carter slaves took refuge in the north room of the basement as the battle raged around their home.
Fountain Branch Carter?s son Tod was serving as an aide to Confederate Brig. Gen. Thomas Benton Smith during the Battle of Franklin and was mortally wounded in the fight. He was shot down leading a desperate charge just southwest of his childhood home. Tod was brought to the house where he died two days later.
In the years following the war, the Carter family made efforts to rebuild their farm and revive their livelihood. But the farm was never again as profitable as it was before the war. Moscow Carter sold the house and land in 1896.
Carter House was purchased by the State of Tennessee in 1951 and it was first opened to the public in 1953. Today it is managed, along with Carnton, by The Battle of Franklin Trust and is dedicated to the Carter family and all Americans who fought in this battle. Their legacy is our mission.
