Richard,
Have you contacted the genealogy librarian at the Owen County Library?
There was quite a bit of information about the Carters. In the
History of Owen County edited by Charles Blanchard 1884."Among the early
settlers who became identified with the township (Morgan) prior to 1840,
can be named.Henry Singleton, a step-son of John Carter, and one of the
earliest Justices of the Peace,..William Carter, brother of Moses and
John Carter.."p787, and p791 ".7th day of February 1830 and Moses
Carter, Jr. son of John Carter was born one day later." There is also a
bio of John Carter which I can transcribe if you don't have it.
