Jesse A. McCarter had married Margaret Ann (Peggy) Dunn and together these pioneers moved from Tennesse to Reynolds county, Missouri in 1850. In 1854 they moved to Dent county, Missouri and homesteaded on a 500 acre tract of land which is still in the family today. They had 8 children...3 boys & 5 girls. Jesse passed away in the fall of 1874 and Margaret died in 1887.
Jesse and Margaret Ann were the parents of John A. McCarter who was Becca's father.
Reynolds county is about 40 miles east of Dent county.
Missouri gained statehood in 1821. Millard Fillmore was the 13th US president from 1850-1853. Westward expansion was now underway!
