Mary Ann Boisseau Carter was the daughter of Benjamin Waddell Boisseau and Sarah Ann Fuqua. She was the granddaughter of Sergeant John Boisseau of Simpson County, KY, who served four tours of duty in the Revolutionary War under Capt. William Washington and Marquis de Lafayette. Her Huguenot ancestor Rev. James (Jacques) Boisseau immigrated to Virginia from Saumur, Maine-et-Loire, France (by way of England) around 1691, after agreeing to serve as immigrant minister to the colonies.
Mary Ann was raised in Missouri along with her future husband, her cousin John Boisseau Carter, whose own father had died young. On Jan. 5, 1851 she and John married, and she served as the home-based support system for his tour with the Missouri Militia Regiment 5, Company B, 1861-63 during the Civil War.
John and Mary Ann had three children:
Benjamin Boisseau Carter, 1852 – 1918
Eliza J Carter, 1854 – 1927
James Theodore Carter, 1857 – 1939
She and John also helped raise the children left by John's brother James and his wife Mary Balthrop, who each died in their 40s likely from cholera or yellow fever, both of which were rampant in the area at the time.
Mary Ann also died relatively young and John remarried to Margret J. Rudolph.
(Have any information on Mary Ann Boisseau Carter? I'm descended from her brother-in-law James T. Carter and have tried for a few years now to help put the pieces of these lines together, since many records seem to have been lost. We do know more in recent years thanks to DNA testing of living relatives. If you believe I have any of this in error or have anything to add, please get in touch! - JC Wilson)
