David Miller Carter was a lawyer and landowner of eastern North Carolina; Confederate colonel and military judge; legislator, 1862-1865; resident of Washington, N.C., until he moved to Raleigh in 1874. The collection includes papers relating to land ownership and legal business mixed, after 1849, with family and personal correspondence and letters from political leaders of both parties. Civil War items relate to Carter's activities as military judge and other matters. Scattered papers deal with the Bank of Washington, the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Company, the sale of slaves to Carter, and a wide variety of affairs in North Carolina. Correspondence of Carter's wife, Harriett Armistead Ryan Benbury Carter (1833-1877), is also included. Later papers are those of Carter's daughters, Sarah Lindsay Carter and Laura Armistead Carter (died 1935).
