Isaac P., son of Edward and Esther (Powers) Carter was born April 27, 1770, at Hollis, N. H. Died Sept. 18, 1826, Muskingum county, Ohio.
I know nothing of his early life, but suppose the family moved to the District of Maine previous to 1793, as we find them there at that time.
Joanna, daughter of David and Thankful (Hayward) Gay, born in Nova Scotia, January 14, 1771, of English descent. Died April 22, 1841, Zanesville, Ohio. She came with the family in early life to the District of Maine where she grew up to womanhood and was married to Isaac P. Carter, July 3, 1793. They settled near Northport, Waldo county, and engaged in clearing out a heavily timbered country, farming part of the time and getting out timber for shipbuilding, with an occasional trip along the coast. To this union four sons and five daughters were born: Howard, Joanna, Isaac Gay, Olive, Martha, Samuel Hillman, Thankful, Esther Ann and David Gay.
I have no way to find out about the family life while in the District of Maine, only what father told us. The winters were long and the snow was deep. It had to be tramped down to make the road so they could travel, and to do this teams of oxen were out in the snow and packed it down until the road was as high as the fences and then the snow blew off to the sea. Perhaps the rigorous winters and the poor farming country had something to do in causing them to leave that country for a more congenial climate. In 1815, the family consisting of father, mother and six children, started for Ohio, leaving one child (Joanna) married in Maine. There were no railroads nor suitable waterways to travel upon at that time. The only way was to go with teams and wagons, so the trip occupied about all of one summer. He said that after crossing the mountains in Pennsylvania they came to the Allegheny river where lumber was rafted down to the Ohio river and on down to Cincinnati, so they got their horses, wagons and family on a raft and helped run it to Marietta, Ohio. Here they got off and went northwest to Perry county. After a short stay there they went to Franklin county. While there, father helped to lay out the town of Columbus. The state bought the land and the town was laid out in the woods. A few years after they went to Muskingum county, where they located on land and cleared it up for a home. The experience of a new country was their lot and their children got but very little schooling and none of the comforts of life that are enjoyed by their grand-children.
They were members of the Baptist church and the children were taught to love and serve the Lord. Some of them held to the Baptist belief through life, while others went to the M.E. and other churches, but all were good Christian citizens as their children in future generations show.
