Robert Carter was a physician. In an article of a wedding anniversary published in the Atlanta Constitution, it mentions that Dr. Carter and Ms. Nelson married in Augusta, Georgia and moved to Columbus five years after their marriage. Robert Carter I was a druggist, and in the back of his drug store, he and Major Nelson kept their books which they had brought with them from Virginia, and which they shared with their friends. This was the nucleus of the first Columbus Library. Around the bend of the Wynnton Road in the neighborhood known as Carter Place, was the home of Major Thomas M. Nelson and of his son-in—law Robert Carter, who had come down from Virginia prior to 1838 The estate, comprising a hundred acres, more or less, had a spacious and lovely house with wide porches on two sides, the hipped roof supported by Doric columns. It housed a gracious family, whose roots were all in the Old Dominion. On all sides were the old—fashioned box—bordered flower gardens, wonderful magnolias, flowering shrubbery and broad acres extending to the East. The home was one of those said to have been constructed in 1838 by Matthew Evans, the most popular builder of the day, for his brother-in—law, Augustus Howard. Evans had built many homes for the members of his wife's family, the Howard's. This one soon passed to the Nelsons and Carters.
