(page 560) NOTES: ----Most records show him with two wives: 1)Elizabeth Armistead and had children: William b. 1740, Frances who married Rice Curtis Jr. , Robert, & John Carter b. abt. 1750 and sent to England for education; 2)Hannah Chew and had children Margaret b.

I believe Bailey is one of them, b.1743; -----"Genealogies of Virginia Families"/Wm. & Mary Quarterly, Vol 1/John Dorman pg 610. (their information came from the Joseph Lyon Miller book "Capt. Thomas Carter & his Descendants". It states John b.1715 and his brother George moved to Spotsylvania Co, VA. They were sons of Thomas Carter d.1776 Christ Church Parish, who was the son of Edward Carter D. 1743 Christ Church Parish, who was the son of Thomas Carter who married Katherine Dale. But, many researchers have said this information is incorrect. That this John Carter b. abt. 1715 was the son of John Carter b.1674 & Margaret Todd, and he was the son of Thomas & Katherine Dale.

KENYON, JEMlMA seems to have d.i., c.1745; she was the daughter of John Kenyon, next below. She may have married Samuel Bailey and died shortly thereafter. COB#2, p. 482: 7 March 1745/6 is not. definite: On the Petition of Samuel Bailey, it is ordered that Francis Martin pay him £5:11:4 for his proportionable part of Jemima Kenyon's estate. Or Samuel Bailey may have married another daughter of John Kenyon (d.t., 1743) and his claim was thus founded.

WILLIAM CARTER married Frances Curtis, daughter of Rice Curtis, Sr., "Gent." of .Spotsylvania, prior to November 20, 1761, as on that date he had a deed from Rice Curtis, Jr., that shows this marriage. Wm. Carter appeared in a list of Spotsylvania slave owners in 1783 as owner of ten
servants. His will, probated in Spotsylvania November 26, 1802, mentions his wife Frances Carter, daughters Lucy Aylett, Elizabeth Belinda, Sarah wife of Edmund Foster, Frances wife of Rice Connor; sons Rice, John and John's daughter Polly, Guilford D., Kenyon, and Abraham; stepmother Hannah Carter; and half sister Elizabeth Carter. He also had a daughter who married James Hume, as September 15, 1794, Wm. Carter made a deed of gift to James Hume for four negroes in trust for Wm. Lewis Hume, son of the said James and grandson of the said Wm. Carter. September 1, 1789, he made a deed of gift to his son John for 216 acres of land in Berkeley Parish.
In 1788 John Carter was married to Mary Herndon, born May 4, 1770, and still living in 1834. John Carter's will, probated in Spotsylvania October 2, 1815, mentions wife, daughter "Polly" and sons Joseph, John, and James. Friend John W. Herndon executor. Polly Carter married, September 24, 1830, .Captain Thomas M. Horn. Mary Herndon Carter was a daughter of Joseph Herndon, of "Mattaponi," Spotsylvania, and his second wife Mary Minor, whom he married August 15, 1765.
She was a daughter of John and Sarah Scott Minor, and was born March 7, 1741, and died October 26, 1822. Joseph Herndon, born May 1, 1737, died October 28, 1810, lived on a beautiful estate about six miles southeast of Fredericksburg. He was a 'graduate of the University of Edinburgh, and took a prominent part in the political life of his county. For further notice of the Herndons see the Virgin£a Historical Magazine, Vols. IX., X., -and XI.
JOHN CARTER was commissioned captain in the Spotsylvania Militia September 18, 1777. Owned nine servants in 1783 before his father's death. May 1, 1794, Captain John Carter and wife Mary and sister Margaret Marshall, widow ,deeded twenty-eight acres of land formerly belonging to their father, John Carter, Sr., to Dr. Robert Wellford. He died in Spotsylvania about 1812, but I have no copy of his will.

FRANCES CARTER married Rice Curtis, III.. 3 son of Rice Curtis, Jr. (will probated 1774), who was a son of Rice Curtis. Sr. (will probated 1753). and his wife Elizabeth.. August 27. 1779. Rice Curtis made a deed to his children named as follows: Nancy. John, Elizabeth, Mary, Frances Margaret, George Bartemeus, and James. Mentions wife Frances Carter Curtis. No further data.

Regarding the descendants of Captain John Carter, Sr ., of Spotsylvania, and his two wives (Miss Armistead, of Caroline, and Hannah Chew, daughter of Captain John and Margaret Beverley Chew, of Spotsylvania, and granddaughter of Captain Harry Beverley) , his great-granddaughter by the second marriage, Mrs. J. N .Hook, Clemsen College, S. C., has supplied interesting data from old letters and an account of the family prepared about 1845 by a grandson of Captain Carter-Hon. Norborne E. Sutton, of Caroline.
Captain Carter',s home was near the Spotsylvania-Caroline line about sixteen miles west of Bowling Green. It is said to have been a large brick house, and that he lived there in considerable style. In the division of the property a£ter his death the house and 142 acres of the home plantation fell to the share of Mrs. Margaret Chew Talliaferro, who was the only one of his children who removed from Virginia. Her sister, Mrs. Burton Talliaferro, however rented it instead of building on her own portion. The old mansion was burned in 1825, and the bricks sold later for other purposes. Major Benjamin Alsop, writing in 1827 to Mr. Zachariah Talliaferro, says: "YOUR place is truly unlucky after the mansion house was burnt, Mrs. Lucy Talliaferro repaired the Overseers house and livd in that and a few days before last Christmas it took fire and was burnt down. She is still living on the land near where the old house stood, has put a Chimney to the Carriage house & is living in that in a Very uncomfortable manner." He continues, "Mrs. Talliaferro talks very Much of Coming to your Country as soon as she gets her" Matters rounded up." "We have had a very Cold Winter the coldest we have had for many years and at this time (March, 1827,) our roads are almost impassible."
In November , 1829, he writes: "Horace Marshall is broke and sold out. Was in Philadelphia the last I heard of him." (He was Captain Carter's grandson.) "Mrs. Mary B. Stevens has become very poor. She is living with her son Lewis at present. Lucy Stevens is with Mrs. L. Talia£erro." * ~ * "Capt. Stanard is still here, but in bad health." In January, 1830, he wrote: "With respect to your Old Acquaintances I will Endeavor to give you some Account. Larkin Stanard is still living-he has a Sore leg, which keeps him Confind. Henry C. Coleman is living in Caroline, Wm. & Zach. T. Wilson has been dead several years, the children of Wm. Taliaferro are all living but the oldest son Walker he has been dead sometime; the daughters all Married. Some doing pretty well & some badly. One of the daughters is dead and left 2 or 3 children. Your old friend James Carter is still living and well the last I heard of him. Capt. Jones & his wife are dead & the land sold and the children Squandered off. Col. Coleman's widow & her Children has moved to Kentucky, we have lately heard her oldest Son is dead. So goes the World some Coming in Others Going Out." Other letters show that Mrs. Hannah Carter died in 1821', leaving a personal estate valued at about $7,000.00 ; and that her son Robert and daughter Elizabeth died prior to 1827 unmarried.
- About 1845 Mr. Sutton prepared a brief account of the descendants of his greatgrandfather, John Carter, in some of the branches of the family, from which the data here given is mainly taken. He mentioned no children of his own. He stated that his greatgrand£ather, John Carter, was an officer in the Revolution, and gave it on the authority of family tradition and the word of an officer who told him that he had served with him.
. MARY BEVERLEYG CARTER married Captain Richard Stevens, of Spotsylvania, and had issue-Lucy, Lewis, Robert, Hiram, Richard, Horace, Polly, and Judith. All married but the two younger sons, but I have no data of their descendants.
MARGARET CHEW CARTER , born January 14, 1771, in Spotsylvania, Virginia, died May 19, 1822, at her home, "Mt. Jolly," three miles £rom Pendleton, South Carolina. July 31, 1802, she was married to Zachariah Taliaferro, an old bachelor lawyer of South Carolina. He was born in Caroline county, Va, April .28, 1759, and died in South Carolina April 14, 1831.
ANNE CARTER married Wm. Heslop and. had a son Horace, and possibly other children.
SARAH CARTER married William Sutton, of Caroline county

On page 102 it was stated that Margaret Chew Carter, daughter"of John and Hannah Chew Carter, of Spotsylvania, was the wife of Captain John Marshall. She was the wife of Zachariah Taliaferro, of South Carolina, and had a half sister, Margaret Carter, who was the wife of Captain Marshall.
The illustrations for the April Quarterly were accidentally omitted, and will be given here.***
Who is This John Carter ? JOHN CARTER was twice married,
but had issue only by the first wife, who is thought to have been a Miss Spencer. He married second, in 1757, Mary, "widow of Mr. Thomas Pollard." In her will, dated February, 10, 1792, "Mary Carter, widow of John Carter, dec'd," left all her property to her children, Thomas and James Pollard and Mary Pollard James. The personal estate of "John Carter of Corotoman River Planter" was divided between his wife Mary Carter and his four children on March 25, 1783. This estate amounted to ? 237 6s. 6d, and included six negroes and a good lot of furniture contained in the following rooms: "The hall, the Chamber , the Red Room, the Upstairs, the kitchen, and the Sellar." He owned "a great Bible, 2 sermon Books, a Hymn Book and a parcel of old books." John Carter had issue :
John Cammack; b,1738 possibly in Spotsylvania County, Va.; m, Nancy Miller: A son
James b, 1769 in Spotsylvania Co., Va.; m, Susan Carter: A
daughter Cynthia b, 1819 in Bardstown, Ky.; m, my gggrandfather Franklin Peck Bishop. They both died and are buried in West Union, Fayette Co, Iowa.

THE FOLLOWING INFO. BELOW CAME FROM THE TRIGG BOOK I QUESTION SOME OF THE DATES,.BUT THIS IS HOW THEY APPEAR IN THE BOOK
NOTE:JKT -By Lester White. Copy of a document enclosed. Written on old ledger paper in pencil by some person apparently very much advanced in years. J.B. Trigg signed this document.

Dear Friend :

Your of a few days ago is at hand and in answer will say that I don't know as who Wm. Trigg wife was as I can find no record to show her maiden name, but I know it was ANN. We have an old Bible date of 1812 and records of birth and death and marriages of Thomas Trigg family to the present day. The birth of Thomas Trigg, my Grandfather, is not recorded in it. His death is. He died 17 Jul. 1852, age 69 years, hence born in 1783. My Grandfather Thomas Trigg married Matilda Carter, 5 Oct. 1809. and only raised two children. Joseph W. Trigg and Isaac E. Trigg who was my father. I am the only son living out of five, 3 of my brothers and sisters died young. I had a brother 8 years older than myself killed during the war, accidentally in his 16th year, killed in 1864. My father Isaac E. Trigg married Catherine M. Fox on the 25th of Jan. 1838. My uncle, Joseph W. Trigg, also married my Mothers sister Amanda Fox and there are only two children, John W. Trigg and Lucy Matilda Trigg who married A.B. Hawkins. They both have quite a family. This is the only Trigg family living in Spotsylvania Co. There are a good many in the State of Virginia. I am confident there is no other old Trigg residence in this County, but the place I live in. You ask about the Trigg burying ground. The only Trigg burial ground I know of is on this place and in our garden.

Now in regard to the Brock connections I will send you some old records which will be more satisfactory to you than anything I could write you. I am always willing to throw the light on things that I can. When Mrs. Miller of Albemarle was here she was very anxious to find out who married Polly Trigg, my grandfather's sister and you will see from these old papers I send you that she married William Carter who was a brother to my grandma Trigg. I shall not attempt to write any more of the Brock line as I will send papers that will be more satisfactory to you. Now in regards to the children helping you the three girls are living in Washington D.C. My family consists of only six, so you see there are only three of us at home. My wife and youngest child, a boy of 13 years of age and myself.

Now in conclusion I will send you these old papers with understanding that you, within a reasonable time return them to me safely and in good condition which I think is your reasonable duty. Hoping that you will get them safely and that they may be safely returned. I am very respectfully,
Your friend,

J. B. Trigg

P.S. This Catherine Chew Brock whose WILL I send you, owned quite a large landed estate as well as a good many negroes. The old Brock residence is 13 miles from Frederick and on the railroad leading to Orange Court House. John W. Trigg, who is double first cousin of mine lives in the old house which I suppose is 150 years old if not older. There is on this place a large graveyard of Brocks and Carters and my uncle J.W. Trigg and wife are also buried there. At some future time, I will examine the records at the Clerk Office and try and find out what my grandfathers, fathers name was and from who this place was bought from or whether it came out of land grant from the Sovereign of England. The deed from William Trigg and Ann his wife, 13 Jan. 1808 to my grandfather, Thomas Trigg and his wife Matilda Trigg.

NOTE:-JKT. The above William and Ann Hampton Trigg settled in Montgomery Co. TN. In a letter 30 Aug. 1923, to Mr. L.F. White & Sons, Red Oak, TX. from Mrs. J.B. Trigg RFD 1, Chancellor, VA. Box 40. J.B. Trigg died about 1919.

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.

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.

Thomas married Katherine Dale on 4 May 1670 in Virginia. Katherine was born in c 1630 in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. [Group Sheet]
