A large Carter family was from Ravenna OH. In the early 1850s Miles, Ira, Julius, Addison, and a few more migrated to eastern Iowa, and to Oxford Jct. They were successful in all their several businesses, including stock (cattle) raising which led to their having a Montana ranch. A few Carters went to Los Angeles and Long Beach CA. A (long) essay on the Carters was completed in 2011 and is in Wregie Memorial Library, Oxford Jct. IA.
