Jane Agnes Carter (maiden name: Mack) married Jackson Carter (post-war name: Lilburn Jackson) in slavery in 1862. Her owner was William "Blockhead Billy" Goodwin (Goodman), who lived in Pike County, Missouri. Her husband belonged to John Coles Carter, who brought him from Virginia to Missouri in 1852. Together, Jane and Jackson Carter had 13 children, including: Fannie, born around 1868; Maggie, born around 1870; Fred, born around 1874; John, born around 1876; Mary, born around 1879; Lilburn, born around 1880; Henry, born around 1882; Fay, born around 1889; and Moses, born November 11, 1891. During the war, she joined her husband in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where they legally married on December 1865 under "the new Constitution," as she reported in her pension testimony. After the war, her family moved to Quincy, Illinois, where her husband worked as a laborer. Her husband died on February 1, 1907, and she secured a $12 monthly pension later that year. One of her children also received $2 per month. Jane's pension increased to $20 per month by 1916. A woman named Amanda Hill also claimed she was the widow of Jackson Carter, but the pension agency ultimately ruled in Jane's favor.
