Esther (Walker) Carter 1759-1807
Birthplace-Brier Creek, Burke County, GA
Spouse: Isaiah Carter (b.1764-1817)
Very little is known about Isaiah and Esther Carter. We know that he did own enslaved people since there are many judgements found in newspapers in his favor. After Esther Carter’s death in 1807, he remarried Sarah Reid (Redd) in 1809 and had two additional children.
In 1810 at a Sheriff Sales in Waynesborough, two enslaved people were deeded to him by court judgement.
At Isaiah Carters death in 1817, a newspaper advertisement declaring the remaining estate should be rented out clearly mentions all the enslaved people who where given by deed of gift to Edward Carter his son. William Stone, his son in law was acting guardian for the minor child, Edward Carter.
Children:
Mary (Carter) Stone (b. 1793-1878)- Married William Stone, relocated to Thomas County GA. They had 10 children. William Stone was in business with his brother in law, Welcome Allen. They owned a Dry Goods and Hardware store. They dissolved the partnership by 1817.
