Rev Larkin Carper is not the soldier that deserted in the Civil War. That Larkin is the son of Rev. Andrew Carper bon in 1843 . Rev. Andrew was the brother of Rev Larkin Carper.

They had another brother Rev Cornelius Carper who had named one of his sons Larkin as well. Both Andrew and Cornelius were born in Missouri and lived in Leavenworth County, Kansas. All three were the sons of Rev. Nicholas Carper who was a Cumberland Presbyterian Minister. Nicholas was a free man by 1825 and died in the American Bottoms, an area apart of East St Louis. Nicholas was owned by his half brother Captain William Jack who operated a ferry in Lexington, MO, before moving to Platte County, Missouri around 1837 with his family. Andrew and his family were enslaved by William Jack's son Lamanza Culbertson Jack and were listed as inventory around 1859.

How Larkin arrived in Texas is still a mystery. 2 of Jack's children did however move to Texas and this may be how Larkin came to live there.
