The article provides a history of the Carter clan, a Mormon missionary family from Benson, Vermont that joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS) in the 19th century. The Carters converted to Mormonism as farmers and artisans but soon became important figures in the church, particularly four brothers from the family: Simeon, John Sims, Gideon, and Jared Carter, who served on LDS high councils. The family eventually fell out of favor after members produced a number of orphan children and children without mothers. The family eventually split up through Colorado, Texas, and the Midwest of the U.S., and mostly followed the Mormon leadership of LDS leaders Joseph Smith III or Brigham Young.
