He was called "Thomas Carter of Reading" and was a wheelwright by trade. He moved from Reading to Weston about 1718 where he remained until 1726 when he removed to Hebron. In 1750 he and related families moved to what was then the N.E. part of Kent in Litchfield County, Conn. and took up a large part of what later became the town of Warren, rough, wild and mountainous. There is a tradition that "one of the early carters came first to Warren, then practically a wilderness without paths or roads and selected a spot for a clearing. He then returned to Hebron and came back with his family, but so wild was the country that for some time they were unable to find the site which had been selected."
