1929 Picture from Visalia, Tulare County,  CA

John Quincy Carter  and his parents, Henry Jones Carter and  Mary Caroline (Preston) CARTER, were among the first settlers the lane which would become Hamilton County in January, 1858.   The Henry Jones Carters arrived on the Cowhouse Creek on 15 Sept., 1856.

Elizabeth Blansit came as a tiny baby with her parents, John Chambers Blansit  and Eleanor "Ellen" (White) Blansit in 1858 to the newly created Hamilton County.

 

 

Descendants of John Quincy Carter

 By Kathy McNeill Beaudr y

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  JOHN QUINCY⁵ CARTER  (HENRY JONES⁴, JOHN WESLEY³, CALEB², LEVI¹)^1,2,3,3 was born July 11, 1851 in Smith County, Texas^4,4,4, and died February 18, 1934 in Woodlake, Tulare County, California⁵.  He married ELIZABETH BLANSIT⁶ 1872 in Hamilton County, Texas, daughter of JOHN BLANSIT and ELEANOR WHITE.  She was born September 1856 in Alabama, and died November 08, 1931 in Woodlake area of Tulare, Tulare County, California.  

Notes for JOHN QUINCY CARTER:

        In the 1880 census for Hamilton County Texas, John's occupation is listed as farmer, with his parents both born in Tennessee.  At that time he was living  with his wife Elizabeth and 5 children. 

        In the 1900 census, John is shown living in Foard County, Texas with his wife "Lizzie" and 9 children, the youngest of whom is Grace, the grandmother of Kathy Beaudry.   According to that record, Elizabeth had 15 children, with 13 still living.  

        The 1910 census shows John and his wife as having 10 children, with 9 still living, and Elizabeth is said to have been born in Texas, which is incorrect.  It is likely that one of the children gave the information to the census taker. 

        In the 1920 census, John was living in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona with his wife Elizabeth, daughter Grace Downey, and grand-daughter Evelyn Downey, mother of Kathy Beaudry. 

        For the 1930 census, John and Elizabeth were living with their son James A. Carter, in Woodlake, Tulare County, CA.  That record, though, is misindexed as J.A. "Caster" instead of Carter.

        After I found the information about John's death on-line from a site that lists the records of burials in the Visalia Cemetery,  I visited the cemetery and took pictures.  Neither John nor his wife have headstones, just a concrete "button" in the ground to mark the plot number.

        When I was a child, my mother told me that she had lived with her grandparents and uncles on a farm.  Unfortunately, she either didn't tell me the names of the uncles, or I have forgotten.  When she was five years old, she went to live with her own mother, who had remarried.

Burial: February 20, 1934, Visalia Cemetery, Visalia, Tulare County, California^7,7,7

 

Notes for ELIZABETH BLANSIT:

        In the 1900 census for Foard County, TX, Elizabeth is listed as having 15 children  with 13 of them still living.  In the 1900 census, Elizabeth is called "Lizzie;"  in the 1880 and 1920 census she is called Elisabeth; she is buried under the name of "Betty Carter." 

        Elizabeth is the daughter of John Chambers Blanchet/Blansit  and is the sister of Amanda Maude Blansit.  Maude married Alfred Lafayette "Fayette" Carter, the brother of John Quincy Carter. 

        In 2000 and 2002, Kathy McNeil Beaudry visited Visalia Cemetery, where Elizabeth and John are buried.  Sad to say, they have no headstones, only a concrete "button" to mark their graves.  The plots were paid for by their oldest son,  James A. Carter.

Generation No. 2

 

2.  JAMES ALEXANDER⁶ CARTER (JOHN QUINCY⁵, HENRY JONES⁴, JOHN WESLEY³, CALEB², LEVI¹)^28,28,28,29 was born June 12, 1873 in Hamilton County, Texas^30,31, and died November 23, 1946 in Woodlake area of Tulare, Tulare County, California^32,32,32.  He married IDA F. RAY Abt. 1901 in probably Oklahoma.  She was born Abt. 1880 in Indiana³³, and died Aft. November 1946 in probably California³⁴.

 

Notes for JAMES ALEXANDER CARTER:

        I got the info about James' date of death from the California Death Index, at Rootsweb.com.  In his parents' obituaries, he is called "J.A." and is said to have been living near or in Visalia, California as early as 1931 and as late as his father's death in 1934.

        In February of 2004, I obtained a death certificate for James.  It lists his wife as "Ida Ray Carter,"  his occupation at the time of his death as "farmer," and his parents as John Q. Carter and Betty Blancet.  In his earliest Census Records - 1910 & 1920, his wife is listed as Ida F. Carter.   I have concluded (perhaps wrongly) that her birth surname was "Ray" since she is listed that way on James' death certificate.

        In 1910 James & Ida were living in Greer County, Oklahoma, with children:

Raymond, son, aged 8 b. OK, father born TX, mother born.  IN

Henry H., son, aged 6, OK, TX, IN

Winnie M., daughter, aged 4, OK, TX, IN

Layfette (sic), son, aged 1 8/12, OK, TX, IN

 

        In 1920 James & Ida were living in Seminole County, Oklahoma, with children:

Raymon (sic), 18, OK, IN, IN, farmer, home farm

Henry, 16, OK, IN, IN, laborer, home farm

Winnie, daughter, 13, OK, IN, IN, laborer, home farm

Layfette, son, 10, OK, IN, IN, laborer, home farm

Mary, daughter, 7, OK, IN, IN, laborer, home farm

 

        In 1930 James is listed as "J.A. & Ida Caster," (sic) living in Tulare County, CA with:

Logfith, (sic), son, age 21, widower, OK, TX, IN, farm laborer

J.Q., father, age 78, married at age 18, TX, TN, TN, farm laborer

Elizabeth, mother, age 74, married at age 16, TX, TN, TN  

        According to his WW I Draft registration, James was of medium height and build, with blue eyes and brown hair.   At the time he signed his draft card information, on September 12, 1918, he and his wife Ida were living at Rt. 1 Bearden, Okfuskee, Oklahoma.  He signed up for the draft in Seminole County, Oklahoma.

Cause of Death: cerebral hemorrhage

Medical Information: caused by hypertension  

Marriage Notes for JAMES CARTER and IDA RAY:

        In the 1900 census, James was unmarried and living with his parents.  I based his marriage date on that fact, plus his first born child being 8 years old in the 1910 census.

Notes for LAURA ISABELLE CARTER:

from: the Albuquerque Journal, Sunday September 19, 1999

 

                                                "PIONEERS FOUGHT DUST & HARDSHIP

                                                                by Fritz Thompson

 

        "In the summer of 1902, wanderlust seized J. Walter Moncus and wouldn't let go.  He loaded his wife, Laura Isabel Carter Moncus, and their infant son, Herman, into a couple of covered wagons and headed northwest from south Texas, planning to wind up in Arizona.  He hoped to homestead, do a little dry-land farming, raise some livestock, get a flock of chickens, maybe open a general store somewhere near present-day Phoenix.

        " 'My grandmother didn't want to go,' says Lynn Moncus, who has a hefty and now-typewritten manuscript that Isabel left in longhand as legacy to the family's sojourn into the Southwest.  'She wasn't interested in moving out here at all.  She thought she'd be leaving civilization behind.'

        "Walter Moncus had no such misgivings, but a chance meeting along the way changed his mind about  going as far as Arizona.

        "The Moncus family stopped, stayed and left its mark instead upon New Mexico.

        "From the rugged Moncus Canyon in a crease of the Caprock to the Quay County sheriff's office in Tucumcari, the sons and daughters of Walter and Isabel found wind and dust and difficulty, wresting life from the uncompromising soil and from the endemic gamma grass in northeastern New Mexico.  Along the way, Walter and later his son Claude pinned on a badge and kept law and order in a territory that was known to harbor bad men and their moveable feuds, particularly those from Texas.

        "All the while, pioneers like the Moncus family straggled into the country, rolling their creaky wagons onto the vast, flat landform called the Caprock.

 

"OFF TO A NEW LAND

        "Walter and Claude would establish a cattle ranch here, and they would learn in the meantime -- like so many others -- that dryland farming in an extended drought on the plains of eastern New Mexico could be disaster.

        "It was here too that Isabel Moncus confronted and death with a racial prejudice she had held all her life, later to wonder at Texas history books and her own failure to recognize the slanted way she had conducted herself until then.

        "By trying hard to make a living, the Moncus family eventually covered all the occupations important in those early days.  They ranched right on through the Dust Bowl; father and son in different generations served as county sheriff; they ran a rural general store; and they birthed children and fixed broken bones -- the latter because Isabel Moncus brought with her a medical tome -- 'she had the book!' -- and it gave instructions on treating all manner of injuries and ailments.

        "Granddaughter Mary Lynn Moncus (many of the Moncuses went by their middle name), now 64, is a retired professor of Southwestern literature and folklore at New Mexico State University.  She remembers a childhood spent in her parents' then-dirt-floor, tin-roof house with no running water and a grandmother, on her father's side, who was her best friend.

        " 'When they came here, the didn't even know what kind of wild critters to expect in this new countryside,' she says. 'But they brought 21 head of cattle with them, they were tough and exceedingly resourceful and they survived.'

        "No such confidence flows from her grandmother's account, which she proclaimed as fiction but which Lynn Moncus says is in fact biographical.  And how her grandmother lamented leaving the area around Hamilton County, Texas:

        (from Isabell's manuscript:

        'I loved that home; I could see possibilities of our acquiring adjoining farms and becoming wealthy farmers and stock raisers.  I didn't want to sell our home . . . and go West!  Of all places.  I didn't want to go . . .

        'For the first few days, we traveled slowly.  The cattle had wintered hard and were thin.  They could travel only a few miles a day.

        'How hard and dreadfully lonely and dreary it could be . . ."

        "As they made their way West, the little Moncus family (Isabel's brother Claude Carter drove one of the wagons) would stop at fledgling farms of acquaintances who had proceeded them but had not ventured farther.

        " ' Every time grandpa stopped, my grandmother hoped, 'Maybe we'll stay here'," Lynn Moncus says.  'They'd do some canning, and my grandmother would make cuttings of fruit trees to plant an orchard.  And then grandpa would decide it was time to move on . . .'

        "Isabel Moncus thought Plainview, Texas, was civilized, but by the time they reached the aptly named Stinking Springs in eastern New Mexico, she knew for sure it was the end of niceties.

        "Isabel Moncus may have been tougher than she thought.  Lynn Moncus says some of her grandmother's contemporaries were actually driven mad by the stark loneliness and the incessant wind that swept over the empty prairie.

        "The men could get on a horse and ride away, but the women didn't have a chance; they had to stay there, often alone in a dugout with no one to talk to and every day was like the day before, only worse.

        "But her grandmother's adjustment to life in the New Mexico Territory was not itself without a hint of despair from the jolting journey of the wagon.

        " 'In a few miles, we went off into such a depression or basin several miles in extent . . . such as sometimes occurs on the plains.  'This,' I thought, 'is like the true deserts I've read and heard of, and dreaded as much all along . . .'  Not a sprig of grass, nothing but greasewood, sand and gravel . . . but plenty of that.

        "Walter changed his mind about where he was going not long after arriving in New Mexico Territory.  Someone rode into their trailside camp and told them about good ranchland between Fort Sumner and Tucumcari near the southern escarpment of the Caprock.

        "Walter Moncus decided to look into the report and he rode to Tucumcari, which was then little more than a tent city.  People there had some encouraging words but warned him to stay off the fenced property of the big Horseshoe Ranch, which frowned on homesteaders, who they equated with squatters.  It was here that Isabel Moncus was introduced to the kind of country she was in.  Already, she had recognized -- almost without realizing it -- the importance of water in the part of the plains.

        " 'We drove across the basin the basin, not so far as it seemed, and came to a big cattle outfit that had various wells in different parts of their range; but this was the first ones we'd struck, and we stayed there a couple of hours while the cattle drank and rested.  They were almost fagged out.  Some wouldn't have gone another mile, only that they sensed they were nearing water, and we ate our lunch while resting.'

 

"ADVENTURE IN THE PAST

        "Lynn Moncus has nothing but pleasant memories of her life in the company of pioneers, and the hardships that her grandparents and parents had endured were for her the stuff of adventure in the Caprock country -- even when she had to make the torturous trip to the spring to fetch a pail of water.

        "Her assessment of her grandparents' character revolves mostly around her grandmother Isabel.  But grandfather Walter evidently made quite an impression; he was a forceful and opinionated man, she says, and she could always calculate his mood by the way he set his hat.

        " 'Grandpa was good to me,' she says.  'But grandpa tended to raise his voice a little bit.  He maybe liked to talk big . . . He had a high school education, which was unusual in that time.  He like to talk politics and religion.  He had a particular interpretation of the Bible, and if you didn't agree, it was bad news.  He was a real table-pounder.  When I was little, I used to think, 'Boy, I'll be glad when I get old enough to leave the table quick.'

        "By contrast, her grandmother 'lived her religion; she was a front-row Baptist.

        "Despite their different personalities, Lynn says, her grandparents came to be held in high respect by people in the Caprock county.

 

"A PLACE TO SETTLE

        "Right after their arrival, Walter and Isabel felt fortunate to find a live spring in a place called CHARCO CANYON.  They staked a claim and, in time, the place became known as Moncus Canyon.  It was further fortunate that it was outside, if barely, the boundaries of the Horseshoe Ranch.

        "Isabel tells about finding the place:

        " ' (Walter) gave a loud whoop.  He was babbling and almost raving in his delight.  I'd never seen him so excited about anything and I wondered if he'd lost his mind.  Then he stopped the team and finally gave  me a chance to answer him.  *Old lady, just what do you think of this?* *It's perfect,* I said.  *And house or no house, it just seems like home to me . . . But when we do get a house, can you imagine anything nicer than our home on the range will be in this very location?*

        "The first house was no fancy affair.  It was built of closely set vertical posts, chinked with mud.  It was followed by a large frame house with a shingle roof and a porch on three sides, built on the open top of Caprock, Lynn Moncus says, where it could be struck by lightning and blasted by the wind.   

        "Young Herman soon was joined by a sister, Ima, and then twins, Claude and Maude, and twins again, Ray and May. 

        "For a while, Walter and Isabel Moncus were the first and only homesteaders in the area.  But other came.  Walter and his brother Burnace erected a shack and opened the Moncus Brothers General Store.  A blacksmith set up shop nearby, and soon there became a need for a post office, which was established in 1908 with the postmark of Ima.

        "Walter later built an adobe house with a shingle roof down in the canyon, and son Claude and his wife Sara -- Lynn's parents -- established themselves in a half dugout around the bend in the canyon.  First Walter and later Claude were elected sheriff, and Lynn Moncus remembers moving back and forth between the ranch and Tucumcari as her father served three separate terms.

        "Claude the sheriff achieved a measure of fame, was even written up in a crime magazine, for solving a semi-sensation murder of a man whose body was dumped near Tucumcari in the 1950's.  Claude doggedly figured out the identity of the victim and traced his car to Amarillo, found no better clue than a matchbook in the car and, beginning with nothing else, used the matchbook to determine who the killer was and to track him to Surgeon Bay, Wis.  The culprit was subsequently arrested in California and convicted in New Mexico, where he died in the electric chair.  Claude, a modest man, could have attributed his success to the streak of resourcefulness exhibited by his parents in challenging a new land with two covered wagons and a baby boy.

        "For all their struggles in those first years, it was perhaps Isabel who fought and won the biggest one.  'My grandmother was terribly frightened of Mexicans,' says Lynn Moncus.  'But later on she got angry at the misrepresentations of Mexican people she found in the history books.  (Isabel later wrote)  'I was afraid of the Mexicans . . . I'd never seen a Mexican; but wasn't I a teacher?  I knew my Texas history.  I knew that the Mexicans were a race of cowardly cutthroats . . . Oh, that history had me ruined, in that respect, for pioneering.'  Later, as she came to know them in New Mexico, Isabel's perceptions changed.  'My preconceived ideas of the Spanish race were wrong.  I found them to be as upright, honorable and sensible as my own race.  Of course there were dishonorable one among them, but neither could my own race boast of perfection.  Then is when I began to wonder about my Texas history.  Could those atrocious crimes as related in that history have been committed in retaliation from crimes equally as great, that we had committed against them?  We made history of theirs but failed to mention our own crimes.  Be that as it may, had I learned that lesson years earlier, I would have been spared the bitter hatred, fear and suffering that I endured until I learned the race among whom I am proud to acknowledge I have many good friends.'

 

"OPTIMISTIC PIONEERS

        "Since almost the beginning of this century, the Moncus family has had a presence in Quay County and Eastern New Mexico.  Lynn Moncus says she's the last Moncus left.  Her grandparents, only two generations removed, were reflections of thousands of other optimistic pioneers who loaded down their wagons with nearly every earthly possession and set off down a dirt road -- more confident than apprehensive -- to farm and ranch in the unfamiliar but expansive West.  Some of them came to New Mexico.

        "The grass has not comp0letely come back in fields abandoned to the fickleness of dryland farming.  They lie in silent legacy to the unwise practice of taking a plow to some parts of the prairie, harvesting bumper crops of dust.  But even if the crops and cattle failed, the people endured.

        " 'I have nothing but good memories of pioneer time,' says Lynn Moncus.  ' They were hard times but we were all equal.  We were all grubbing for a living.  And even if some people were at war with each other, if one got hurt or in trouble or got sick, you went over to their place and brought in the crop or branded cattle or whatever needed to be done.'

        "Walter and Isabel Moncus, facing advanced age, move to Fort Sumner and then to Tucumcari in their later years.  He died at 80 in 1955.  She died at 90 in 1964.  They are buried at a cemetery in Tucumcari."

        When Evelyn was twelve, she was a foster child to Katherine Christy, a school teacher at the Adams Elementary school.  Evelyn lived with "Aunt Kate," until 1937, when she married Bill McNeil.  After graduating from Phoenix Union High school, she attended Phoenix College for a year.  During the early part of her marriage, Evelyn helped her husband in the printing business.  When Bill McNeil began his own business in the fifties, Evelyn ran the office, kept the books, and made deliveries of finished jobs.  In the mid-1960's, she went to work at Motorola, where she worked until her death.
