5. | John Bradford Carter (2.Benjamin2, 1.Sarah1) was born in May 1884 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana; died on 27 May 1973 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. Notes:
Besides farming, he helped his father and grandfather operate Carter's Ferry, and later he and his wife owned and operated cafes at various locations in East Texas. Virgie Speights, in November 1963, interviewed him prior to his upcoming eightieth birthday. He stated that he helped with the ferry "as soon as I was large enough." He recalled in great detail numerous incidents of feuding, fighting, and flight from the law. The ferry had previously been called the Paterson and Pugh Ferry, and the former owners met a tragic end, through such shenanigans. The river provided the Carters witha means of livelihood in many ways. They hauled pine knots to fire the boilers on various steamboats. Mr. Carter also made log runs down the Sabine River to Orange, which took 12 days and netted him $1 per day. They also raised cotton which they took to Robeline, Lousiana, necessitating they camp out during the trip.
In 1909, Mr. Carter came to Texas, walking from Pendleton to Strickland Crossing, where he caught a train to Browndell, worked in a sawmill for a week, and then came back to Pineland. There he worked various jobs, including curing some of the first logs sawed in the old Know Lumber Company Mill.
