      Notes:

      The entry at March - Saturday 20 - 1858 (MSS 1858) of the Date Book of John of The Nest, addressed to his nephew, Thomas Carter of Lexington, Bourbon County, Kentucky,
      son of Joseph, brother to Daniel Carter Jr.:

      "John Carter was another of Old Tom's sons. I have never known but one of this branch of the Carter family, a Mr. Norborn Sutton a lawyer living in Caroline. A few years ago
      spent several days in Lancaster taking depositions in a suit. I saw him at the C. H. and on hearing my name he said his Grandfather was a Carter. He spent Sunday with me and I found him a pleasant well informed man. He knew a lot about his and told me his grandfather's father was a John Carter who settled in Caroline from Lancaster before the county was formed.

      "He did not know the name of John's father but I believe it was from Old ancestor Tom [proven to be Thomas Carter Sr.] who had a son John. He said his John was married 3
      times - first to a Miss Ball who was a sister of a cousin to Gen. Washington's mother. She died and left him no children". (Joseph Ball Carter died in infancy)

      "He next married a Miss Payne and had several daughters and a son Henry and none of these married he thinks.

      "After she died he married a Miss Tod from King and Queen and settled in that County. She was an heiress and brought him a nice lot in land and slaves. They had sons John (Mr. Sutton's grandfather), William who now has descendents in Caroline, Robert who lives in King & Queen and James who left no children and a daughter Margaret who never married.

      "John the oldest son was married twice, first to Miss Betty Armstead of Richmond County & last to a Miss Hannah Chow [sic] of Spotsylvania. The first wife had sons William
      married Curtis, John married Sijohn [sic] and daughters Martha mar. Goodlo, Ann mar. Heslop?, Peggy mar. Marshall, Fanny married Curtis, Betty married Thomas and Sally
      married Sutton and was the mother of Mr. T. S. The last wife had son Robert never married and daughters Mary married Stevens, Margaret Chow married Taliaferro, Judy
      married Sutton, Lucy married Taliaferro, and Lilly never married.

      "He was a Captn. in the War of Independence and was a man of great means and fine style of living. His children all had big families all scattered everywhere. John Carter,
      first of Caroline, lived to be very old."

      John of Caroline was married three times; Catherine Ball, who was reportedly a cousin of George Washington; a Miss Payne was the second wife and Margaret Todd the third wife; Heirs of John are Henry Carter, Capt.

      Capt. Thomas Carter, who came to Virginia prior to 1652-it is thought to Nansemond County-was a captain of the militia, justice, deputy clerk of his county, Burgess (?), etc. Purchased a large plantation on the Corotoman River from Col. John Carter and was settled there in 1652. Of his descendants this volume (speaking of Dr. Miller's book) is the first published account, except some preliminary notes in the William and Mary Quarterly.

      The purpose of this treatise is to provide new research conducted by Carter researchers and genealogists. And, 1.) propose that CPT Thomas Carter of Barford Plantation likely had a father in Lancaster named Maj. Thomas Carter; 2.) shed new light on the origins of the Thomas Carters, and 3). argue a familial connection, or kinship, between the "Corotoman Carters," Thomas and John.
