Hamp W. and Emily (Wornell) Carter, the former of whom was born in Missouri and the latter of whom was born in Anderson County, Texas, so that their children are scions of pioneer stock in both the paternal and maternal lines. Hamp W. Carter was but six years of age at the time of his parents' removal from Missouri to Texas, and the family settled in Hill County at a time when it was on the very frontier of civilization. Under such conditions Hamp W. Carter was reared to maturity, finding enjoyment in the wild, free life of the new country, receiving but limited educational advantages, but waxing strong and independent in both physical and mental faculties. In 1909 he and his wife celebrated the fifty-first anniversary of their marriage and they are numbered among the best known and most highly honored pioneer citizens of Central Texas, still maintaining their home at Hillsboro. (A History of Central and Western Texas, Vol 1, Captain B. B. Paddock, The Lewis Publishing Company, New York, 1911 )
