A family historian, Barbara Carter will discuss the trials, tribulations, successes, and surprises she has encountered as she has walked along the trail of her ancestors, many of whom were from South Carolina. Carter will present our 4th program in the Archaeology Month series, co-sponsored by Beaufort County Library, Beaufort County Planning Department, Historic Beaufort Foundation, and USC-B.
Carter holds a BA in history from Hunter College and a master’s degree in the Education of the Gifted from The College of New Rochelle.
In 1991, reversing the migration of her ancestors northward, Carter headed south upon her retirement from 30 years of teaching. Beaufort’s rich history immediately became Carter’s passion particularly when it pertains to slavery, the Civil War and Reconstruction.
Presently, she is busy transcribing and indexing the journals of Beaufort Reconstruction Era minister, George R. Newcomb and his daughter, as her project for the Beaufort District Collection of the Beaufort County Library. (Yes, Barbara Carter is one of the few, the proud: the Beloved BDC Docents!)
Carter's session will be held on the weekend in an attempt to accommodate the working folks of our community who want to participate in some of our Archaeology Month programming efforts. Please join us if you can.
