Biographical Sketch
John was a sailor in his youth, and lived successively at Scarborough and Newry, Maine, and in Hancock County, Illinois. John Carter and Hannah Knight Libby, both natives of Scarborough, Cumberland County, Maine, had a family of eleven children. Two died in infancy; all the others grew to maturity and reared families.
John and Hannah lived at Scarborough until about 1810 when they moved to nearby Newry in Oxford County, Maine, where two of their children died and were buried. They and many of their children moved westward in the 1830s. Hancock County, Illinois records have a land deed dated 1842 from Jacob Dooley to John and Hannah K. L. Carter. In 1846 John Carter. Sr. sold this tract to William Carter.
Although Hannah joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, John never did. He took Hannah to Illinois but refused to go to Utah. Hannah left him and traveled west to the Great Salt Lake Valley. John remained in Nauvoo until his death on 13 August 1852. His will was dated 9 August 1852, just four days before death at age 70. It mentions Almira, Phillip and Mary Jane, and also grandson John Dooley, but no remembrance is made of the family members who had joined the LDS Church: Dominicus, William Furlsbury, John H., Eliza Ann, Hannah, Richard's children, or his widow. John Carter's will was filed by his executrix Mary J. Carter Dooley in Adams County, Illinois on19 August 1852.
John Carter was buried in the Fletcher Cemetery at Lima in Rocky Run Township, Hancock County, Illinois.
