pg. 50 ff:
As previously stated, the will of John Carter, of
Halifax County, amongst other provisions, devised
to his three sons, Richard, Robert and Theodrick,
four hundred and fifty acres of land purchased from
George Ridley. The records of Halifax County, Vir-
ginia, show that Robert Carter sold his share of the
land to George Marable.

The court records of Halifax County show that
Robert Carter was married to Unity Cook, by Wil-
liam P. Martin, November 1st, 1792.

The last business transaction recorded by Robert
Carter, in Halifax County, Virginia, prior to his re-
moval to Tennessee, was the sale of two negroes to
William Ferrell on June 19th, 1801. This closes the
record, in direct line, of the branch of the family
herein traced, in Virginia, as Robert Carter moved
with his family to Tennessee about 1805, there being,
at that time, six children, Sarah Venable, Henry
Cook, John Blackgrove, Robert Michaux, Polly and
Samuel Jefferson Carter, all of whom, according to

SAMUEL JEFFERSON CARTER BORN HALIFAX COUNTY, VIRGINIA 3 JANUARY, 1803

DIRECT LINE OF DESCENT pg. 51

the family Bible, were born in Halifax County, Vir-
ginia. Another son, Alexander Cunningham Carter,
was born in Tennessee. Two other children, Mary
and Nancy, did not survive infancy.

Robert Carter continued to reside at Franklin,
Tennessee, until his death, September 9th, 1839, in
his 69th year. His will was burned while in the pos-
session of one of his grandchildren, at Nashville, Ten-
nessee. A list of personal property, in his possession
at his death, is recorded at Franklin, Williamson
County, Tennessee.

Samuel Jefferson Carter, son of Robert and Unity
Cook Carter, was born in Halifax County, Virginia,
January 3d, 1803, and died suddenly at Carter's
Landing, West Tennessee, March 31st, 1873, leaving

pg. 52

no will. He married, as shown by the family Bible,
first Eliza Staggs, and had three children: Watson
M., Jordan B., and Eliza S. Samuel Jefferson Car-
ter married second Anne Vaulx, and had fourteen
children: Warren, Hays, Watkins Leigh, Charles
Vaulx, Samuel J., Laura O., Irene M., Samuel Jeffer-
son, William Giles Harding, Anne Catharine, Frank
Cook, Ella Watson, Vaulx, Mary Hays.

Samuel Jefferson Carter resided with his family in
Davidson County, near Nashville, Tennessee, prior to
1861, and in Nashville during the Civil War. At the
time of his death he was residing on his farm in West
Tennessee, near Carter's Landing, on the Mississippi
River.

William Giles Harding Carter, son of Samuel Jef-
ferson and Anne Vaulx Carter, at present the oldest
living representative, in the direct line, bearing the
name of Carter, was born near Nashville, Tennessee,
November 19th, 1851.

etc.etc.etc.

William Giles Harding Carter was married, Octo-
ber 27th, 1880, at San Francisco, California, to Ida
Dawley. Two sons have been born of this marriage,
William Vaulx Carter (who was graduated from
West Point in 1904 and appointed a lieutenant in the
Sixth United States Cavalry, his father's old regi-
ment), and Leigh Hays Carter, who, while a student
at the University of Illinois, was accidentally killed

DIRECT LINE OF DESCENT 53

by an electric shock in one of the University build-
ings, August 27th, 1907.

Of the eleven sons of Samuel Jefferson Carter, the
first eight are deceased without male issue. General
William H. Carter has one son, William Vaulx Car-
ter, and Frank Cook Carter has one son, William
Dawley Carter. These two young men, William
Vaulx Carter and William Dawley Carter, are all of
their generation bearing the name of Carter, in the
direct line traced in this memoir.

Robert married Unity Cook on 26 Oct 1792 in Halifax County, Virginia U.S.A.. Unity was born in c 1774 in Halifax County, Virginia U.S.A.. [Group Sheet]

Name: Theodrick CARTER II Birth: ABT 1697 Henrico Co VA
Death: 1777/1778 Prince Edward Co., VA

Per all of the following, Theo instant had to remove from Henrico County - but the question remains if he removed again - or - had initailly settled in that area that became Prince Edward - OR - is this his cousin Theo, of Giles Carter Jr.?

LaVere Peters' effort to identify children of Giles II (from below):
"Probably Theodrick - Giles deeded to son Theodrick Chas. City Co land 1741"

* 1741 /2 Joseph Dabbs to Theodrick Carter north side Willis River
next to Orson Martin and James Webb

16 June 1741 Theodorlck Carter of Goochland Co., to Richard Manlng of same
[at face value, could be either Theo]

* 1743 Orson Martin of Goochland to Theoderick Carter of Amelia
north side Willis river wit Edmund Gray.

* 1750 Hutchins Burton of Cumberland Co.Va. to Thomas Platt land
north side Willis River adj. Theoderick Carter ,Thomas Bassett & Robert Burton.

"The Willis River rises in southern Buckingham County and initially flows eastwardly into [southern] Cumberland County, where it turns north-northeastwardly for the remainder of its course. It flows into the James River in northern Cumberland County, about 6 mi (10 km) southeast of Columbia".

Amelia County is nowhere near the Willis - it's on the other (east) side of Cumberland:
The County, named for Princess Amelia, daughter of George II of England, was created by a legislative act in 1734, and in 1735, it was created from Prince George and Brunswick Counties. Then, in 1754, Prince Edward County was formed from Amelia County, and later the County was reduced to its current size when Nottoway County was separated in 1789.

* These three deed citations could be anywhere along the Willis - including the intersection with the James River - which is exactly where Carters Ferry (of Robert) is. Thing is, per the description of the river flowing North by Northeast, the only land truly north of the Willis River is in that small pocket up at the James River - where the Willis turns sharply East just before emptying into the James.

And yet, these are just deed locations - except for the 1743 citation, these do not tell us where the Theo in question was living at the time. We have many cases where in other lines where transactions were being conducted after the removal of the property owner.

Charles City Co., VA Records 1737-1774, Weisiger III, p 85
1742 Giles CARTER sold land to Theodorick CARTER in Henrico Co VA

The following are all from June Cottrell's 8 Dec 1997 e-mail:
1753 Will of John Cocke of Henrico Co was witnessed by Theodorick & Joseph Carter.
1756 transaction with the Hamlett family
1759 Theo & Joseph witness to will of John Cocke (probably the actual probate)
1761 A deed from Robert Povall of Henrico Co. to Theodrick Carter of Charles City Co.
1752 A second transaction with the Hamlett family.
1768 Theodrick Carter married Elizabeth, widow of Samuel GREGORY in Charles City Co.
1771 Theodrick did the inventory of Littleberry Hardyman
1774 Theodrick did the inventory of Henry Phillips.

Joseph Carter may be Theodrick's son.

A solid, continuous presence where the combined transactions of 1742 and 1753 prove the three transactions on the north side of the Willis River must belong to Theo Junior - in Amelia County by 1743 - and not the son of Giles Junior. And ... let's remember that the mother of Theo Junior is now proven to be Elizabeth Webb - per the 1741 transaction north of the Willis.

Notes:

http://oliverdreams.tripod.com/TedCarterJr.html

THEODORICK JR -3 married about the time his father died, somewhere around 1736 or 1737. John Carter-3 is mentioned in the will of their father to receive several basic household articles that were not given to THEODORICK-3 who appears to be the older of the two men, and was probably already married at the time the will was written. THEODORICK-3 received almost twice as much land as John-3 did, however, again reinforcing our belief that he is the older of the two. THEODORICK-3 married a woman named ANN, who is apparently the daughter of WILLIAM WADDILL. Her birth is recorded in the parish register as ?Ann Waddill, the daughter of William Waddill christened 24 January 1713? and recorded in New Kent. Since we know that THEODORICK CARTER-3 was born prior to 1706 we can see that ANN WADDILL was a few years younger than he was.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this seventh day of December in the year of Christ one thousand seven hundred and seventy seven.

Thomas Watkins [possibly the father of Francis] had witnessed the will of THEODORICK-3?s father. Thus, more circumstantial proof that we have the right Theodorick Carter. The William Waddill who witnessed the will was probably not ANN?s father by that name, but most likely was her brother, nephew, or cousin. The will was probated January 19, 1778, in Prince Edward County. Francis Watkins, the executor of the will, was apparently a close friend or relation to the CARTER family. John Carter-4, the son of THEODORICK-3 named a son ?Francis Watkins Carter-5? and WILLIAM-4 also named a son ?Francis-5.? That Christian name has continued as an ?heirloom? name in this line of CARTERS ever since. This reinforces the supposition that ?our? WILLIAM is ?that William Carter.? Agnes Watkins?s sister was married to Nathaniel Venable, the co-executor.

The mention of the Negro slave, Dick, who had been inherited as a lad from THEODORICK CARTER-2 in his will is another piece of evidence that we have the correct Theodorick Carter.

The older children, Susannah-4, John-4, Theodorick-4, and WILLIAM CARTER-4 had apparently already been given their shares of the estate prior to the death of their father, THEODORICK-3, so they received only token bequests.
