- Description:
- "Carter's Quarters," the two-story wood-frame plantation house initially constructed in 1800 on Cherokee leader Judge John Martin's 15,000-acre plantation in Murray County, was originally named "Coosawattee," after the river that runs through the property. Eighty enslaved persons lived and worked there. After the passage of the Indian Removal Act in 1830, the 1832 Land Lottery awarded the Martin property (lot number 45) to Sarah Bosworth, who in turn sold it in 1833 to Farish Carter (1780-1861), the namesake of the town of Cartersville. The two-story wood-frame house functioned as the living and industrial center of this vast plantation, which in 1850, reported 403 enslaved persons working on the property. The property saw a major renovation in 1935. Farish Carter's papers are held at the University of North Carolina. https://catalog.lib.unc.edu/catalog/UNCb2369456 ; as of 2019 the property was still held in the Carter family. Variant names include: Carter's Quarters, Coosawattee. See ref # 86000460 (Carter's Quarters) https://www.nps.gov/subjects/nationalregister/upload/national-register-listed-20240710.xlsx
