Bryan, Texas 77802
Dear Ms. White:
The City of College Station wishes to include the development of Richard
Carter Park as an official project of the Brazos County Sesquicentennial
Commission. The park site is approximately 6.179 acres located in the
Glenhaven Subdivision with frontage on the Highway 6 East Bypass. The
site is named for the first settler in Brazos County and includes the
remains of the old, rock-lined water well. The Carter family grave sites
,are located a short distance from the park cnd will p ;'obably be relocated
onto the park property due to future construction.
This project has received the recommendation of both the Parks and RecreatioI
Board and the City Co.ncii and is supported by the Brazos County Historical
Commission. Partial funding for the project will be provided through 1984
Bond Funds with the remainder coming from local donations.
I am enclosing a cope of the Glenhaven Estates Subdivision plat, a brochure
about Richard Carter, and a copy of a research study dole by Shawn B. Carlson
last year. If additional information is needed, please feel free to contact
me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Ste en C. Beachy

Richard Carter (1789 - 1863), son of Joseph Carter and Nancy Menefee of
Virginia', may have been a constituent of the "Alabama Settlement " which
migrated from Virginia to Tennessee, Alabama, and finally East Texas during
the'latter part of the 18th century and the first quarter of the 19th century.
Carter, and his wife, Elizabeth, were married in 1811 in Knoxville, Tennessee
and later moved to Morgan County, Alabama On 30 April 1831, Richard Carter
received a grant for one league and one labor of land within the Stephen F.
Austin colony in Brazos County •
The first reference to Carter's presence in Texas comes from an 1878
interview with his daughter, Evaline Burton. According to the author, Burton
claimed "that from the arrival of their family in 1831, until the following
July, she never saw a white woman, or had any association with women other
than those of her own family, and squaws, and that during this time their
family lived exclusively on wild meats and honey, with butter and cheese, etc.,
without any bread, except that made out of turkey breasts " Another early
i
Brazos County settler, Harvey Mitchell, described the Carter Creek bottom
as, "an unbroken canebrake, infested with bear, panthers, wild cats, and
other enemies of hogs and cattle, as well as of men... Ire a separate
account, Mitchell says, "This family remained at this home completely isolated
from the world and all social intercourse except with friendly Indians till
1835, their nearest and only white neighbors being the Millicans and Woottons....
These were the only white people that had settled in this territory previous
to the 'Runaway Scrape' in 1836... "
Carter apparently moved, sometime after 1835, to a place called "Tinninville ", .,, '
located north of the San Antonio Road at the Na River in Robertson County-. i
2
He .s listed in the first tax rolls of Robertson County (1838) as
on 147E acres � a- paying taxes
1 0, originally granted to Jeremiah Tinnan in 183511. i,
Mitchell, he boarded with the Carter's at Tinninvill e during 1839 and 1840
He later visited their home, again on Carter Creek in Brazos County, during
41. At that time, the Carter's were living in a one room to
cabin and stockraising was widespread locally. g
Carter's
rl:1111: proximity to Boonville, which was established as the county
seat in 1841, influenced his involvement in count
S affairs. Richard Carter,
along with John H. Jones and Hiram Hanover served as the first
Commissioners in 1841, Board of
and were appointed to survey the town of Boonville �.
and auction off the lots
• Carter's son, Wiley, served at the first I
meeting of the grand jury in Beunville14
In 1848
Carter served zya;, as
a commissioner, while his son-in-law, Wilson Reed, served in 1852 and 185
a s a comm;ssionerl5 His other son -in -law, Samuel served rve
R 16 d as county
treasurer in
1.5C
in 1842, Carter began dividing up his original
g nal grant of land among his
family]. During the month of October, coer, 1840 ,Carter deeded 500 acres of his
original grant to his son Wiley, 120 acres to Wilson Reed, 976 acres I
cres to Samuel 1
Burton, and a gift of 300 acres to his daughter, Mar f
y Ann Reed (wife of Wilson.
By the end of the Texas Republic Period, Richard )
Carter had succeeded in
increasing the value of his real and personal property from
His gains were a $1300 to 55800.
Pparently made through stockraisin and slave own
g g ershi p 18
During the period of early statehood and
P Civil War growth, Carter 1
re-
consistently added to his wealth through the accumulation of cattl
and slaves He was listed as a farmer in the 1850 U.S. e, horses, I!
350 cattle, 5 horses, and However, 5 slaves. Census and owned
only three other Brazos County
3
residents owned more cattle than Carter
By 1860, Carter had a he rd of cattle and was among the top 0 1000 9 P cotton
and corn producers in the county Carter maintained his herd with a force
of 22 slaves and 31 horses, making him one of the wealthiest land owners and
slave owners in the county
From 1846 to 1860, Carter's estate increased in value from $5800 to
$30,000 This was in part due to an increase in the value of land and
cattle. Also, increased production of corn and cotton was possible through
an expanded number of improved acres However, the most significant factor .
accounting for his prosperity over the years, was the value of slaves. Half
of his taxable property was based upon slave ownership - -each slave averaging
$800 in 1860.
Richard Carter died in 1063 at the age of 74L Apparently Carter had
no inclination that emancipation would be proclaimed within the lifetime of
his family. Upon the death of his wife Elizabeth,' who died in 1376 he
requested that his property, including his two slave families, be divided
an ng his children and grandchildren
I
Through the war years, Carter's estate climbed to an unprecedented
$44,000 But after the 1865 taxes were assessed, the value of the Carter
family estate had piummetted to $9800- -which still left them within the
upper economic bracket of Brazos County. In spite of the loss of 3/4 of
their accumulated wealth, Elizabeth Carter was the second largest cattle
owner in the county in 1865, and, economically, remained within the top
2% of the county.
During the years of reconstruction following the war, Elizabeth Carter's
finances were relatively ,grim compared to the pre-war years From 1865
until her death in 1 &76, her property dwindled in value until it reached
ppri.1111111=1■
4
a low of $3400 right before her death.
-- The cstate left by Elizabeth Carter in 1877 had little comparison to
the estate left by Richard Carter in 1863 The final estate consisted of
2342 acres in the Richard Carter Headright in Brazos County, plus 676 acres
in McLennan County, and $4100. Carter's granddaughter, Geraldine Kelly
,
(nee Reed), inherited the tract of land where the former Carter homesite
is located. It remained in the family until 1903 when it was sold by
Carter's daughter, Evaline Burton, to H.P. Dansby It is believed that
the land was used only for grazing livestock since that time.

The homesite of Richard Carter is being submitted for commemoration
under three marker categories: archeological site, cemetery, and historic
person.
Archeological Site: The Richard Carter Site has been recorded with the
Texas Archeological Research Laboratory as 41BZ74 and represents a continuous
historic occupation from ca.1831 -1877. Archeological excavations suggest
that there was no prior occupation at this site and little evidence of
occupation after 1900. Though the site has been disturbed to some extent
by dirt bikes and 4 -wheel drives, there seems to be no intrusive material
remains. The homesite is located on a hillcrest adjacent to a massive
stone fired well, reportedly 90 feet in depth. The graves of Richard
Carter and his wife Elizabeth are a short distance downslope from the
homesite and within the forest's edge.
The site is located in College Station approximately one -half m;le
north of Hwy 30 and approximately 1 mile west of the west frontage road
paralleling Hwy 6 Bypass (UTM Zone 14, Easting 758000, Northing 3392040).
The site is currently owned by Brazosland Realty of College Station,
The Richard Carter Site is significant locally because it represents
the homesite of College Station's earliest settler. The Richard Carter
Headright today encompasses most of the city. It is also significant
on a county level because it reflects the lifestyle of one of Brazos County's
wealthiest men during the nineteenth century. Carter was consistently
among the largest property owners throughout his life in Brazos County.
And the site is of state significance because its occupation spans the
6
periods of Texas under Mexican rule, Texas as a Republic, Texas statehood,
the Civil War, and Reconstruction. Few other single component sites provide
archeological data spanning these major political periods in Texas' history.
Archeological and historical investigations were carried out by
Texas A & M University in the late summer and fall of 1982. The cultural
'remains recovered from those investigations have been curated and stored
at the Archeological Research Laboratory, Texas A & M University, College
Station.
Cemetery: The Carter family cemetery is located 150m north of the homesite.
To date, archeological excavations have only located two iron footings for
the cemetery fence. Vandalism in the 1960's resulted in both the fence and
headstones being removed and destroyed. The graves of Richard (d. 1863) and
4 60 ' Elizabeth (d.1876) Carter reportedly were within the fenced enclosure with
slave graves outside the fence. The number of slave graves is unknown at
this time.
The cemetery is also owned by Brazosiand Realty. The cemetery is not
in current use, is not maintained, and is not observable except through
excavation.
Historic Person: Richard Carter (1789 -1863) was born in Virginia and died
in Brazos County, Texas. While Carter's contributions to society may not
be significant on a national or state level, his achievements are relative
to the Texas frontier he penetrated in 1831 and may be representative of
the hundreds of pioneers who flocked to Texas with the Stephen Austin
Colony during those early years of settlement.

(mr. Richard Carter (1789 -1863, b. Franklin County, Virginia) was the scn
of Joseph Carter p e and Nancy Menefee of Virginia. In 1811, he and his wife,
Elizabeth (1788 -1876, b. Shenandoah County, Virginia) were married in Knox-
ville, Tennessee. Elizabeth bore him four children: Wiley (1813- 1850),
Evaline (1816- 7), Mary Ann (1817 - 1857), and Elizabeth (birth and death dates
•
unknown). In 1820, the Carters moved to Decatur, Alabama.
Carter's son, Wiley, married Harriet Reed (1820- 7), sister of Wilson
Reed, and their children, all born in Texas, were: William J. (b.1838),
Samuel Houston (b.1840), John C. (b.1843), Jesse Frank (b.1847), and Wiley S.
(b.1849).
Carter's daughter, Evaline, married Samuel Burton (b.1810, Kentucky),
and their children were: William (b.1837, Mississippi), Elizabeth (b.1839,
Texas), Mary (b.1841, Texas), and Wiley (b.i842, Texas).
Carter's daughter, Mary Ann, married Wilson Reed (b.1811, Tennessee)
and their children, all born in Texas, were: John (b.183 ?), Geraldine (b.i83),
Richard (b.1841), Wiley (b.1843), William (b.1645), and Elizabeth (b.1849).
Carter's last daughter, Elizabeth, apparently married a Mormon and moved
to Salt Lake City, Utah. No information could be found about her in any of
the Texas records.
Two of Carter's children, Wiley and Mary Ann, preceded him in death.
His daughter, Evaline, eventually moved to McLennan County with her family.
And, of course, his daughter, Elizabeth, had moved to Utah. The wealth and
position of the Carter family was carried on through the Wilson Reed family.
Wilson Reed had six children by Mary Ann Carter, and several more children
by his second wife. Descendants of the Reed family currently live in Brazos
County and College Station.

Richard Carter served in the War of 1812 as a private in the Militia
Infantry of East Tennessee Volunteers. His son, Wiley, has a long history
of military service. He received a bounty warrant for 320 acres in Freestone
County as a result of his service in the Texas War of Independence from
29 April to 27 July 1836. Wiley Carter also served with the Texas Rangers
as a private under Captain J.D. Matthew from 8 March to 8 June 1839. Wiley
Carter and Wilson Reed were both reported serving under Captain Benjamin Bryant
in January 1839 when they pursued the Indians after the January 1 massacre at
Morgan's Point, six miles above present -day Marlin in Falls County.
Four of Wiley Carter's sons served in the Civil War. Jesse Frank Carter
enlisted as a private with the 14th Brigade of the Confederate Army at Hunt
City on 6 July 1861 under Captain Jackson Wilson. Samuel Houston Carter
enlisted on 24 March in Belton and served as a 3rd corporal with the 7th
Brigade, Allen's Regiment, under Captain H.M. Bouldin and was discharged
30 June 1862. William J. Carter enlisted at Belton on 15 January 1862 under
Captain Milton W. Damron and served with Company D of the 18th Texas Ca dal ry,
Darnell's Regiment. He was discharged twelve months later as a corporal.
And Wiley H. Carter enlisted 8 September 1861 at Dallas for 11 months, 28
days. His commanding officer was Captain Jack Wharton and he served as a
private with Company E, 6th Regiment, Texas Cavalry (Stone's Regiment, 2nd
Texas Cavalry).
As mentioned earlier, Richard Carter was buried in a family cemetery
adjacent to the homesite in College Station. Though headstones formerly
marked the gravesite, vandals have since destroyed those markers. The grave
of Carter has not yet been identified archeologically, but the footings for
the iron fence which once enclosed the graves of Carter and his wife have r I
( been found.
