***Abraham and Elizabeth had three daughters, Sarah, Clemsie, and Clarissa. The family was involved in the farm that was closer to Mesquite than it was to Dallas raising cotton and corn plus they had a large garden. The Carvers also had a dairy operation and tool milk to Dallas in a wagon. During the summertime the milk cans were covered with wet sheets in an attempt to keep the milk cool on the long trip to Dallas. White Rock Creek separated this farmland from Dallas and during the rainy season Mesquite was the shopping/trading area for a portion of the year.
