They were each literate - had full flowery signatures, but 2. Per observations of Dan Wallace and others - their sons were all illiterate - made marks 3. Despite the trading abilities of Giles Sr., each of the sons went into plantations. Oct 2008: new member of The Carter Society - David Carter dacar7@verizon.net Giles Carter m.

[In Edgecombe Co. at the same time were Ralph HUDSPETH (son-in-law of Giles II) and his sons Ralph, Giles, and Carter; also Philemon BRADFORD, who also came from Charles City Co., VA] Note 1 Birth date of Giles II(1681-1686): Giles II was under 18 on 14 Dec 1699 when his father's will was executed; he was to receive his share of his father's estate at age 18. Therefore he was born after 14 Dec 1681. He received a deed of gift from his father 1 Apr 1686. The law allowed females to marry at 12 and males at 14. Males could possess land at 16, but not own it until 21. Guardians were required for orphans under 21, who could choose their own at 14. In 1704 Giles II, who was underage, requested the appointment of Wm. SEWELL as his guardian. By 1711 he must have been 21, because he recorded two land transactions. [These two items suggest a possible 1690 birth date, but we already know Giles was living on 1 April 1686.] Most researchers suggest that Giles II and Mary Povall were married between 1700 and 1702. [I?m guessing at a 1702 marriage date, and birth dates of 1685 for both Giles and Mary.] Note 2 Death date and place of Giles: Giles Carter of VA says that Giles was in Henrico Co. at least until 1736, that no will had been found, and that his death date was unknown. p 77 says that the Carters of this family who remained in Henrico Co. were descendants of Giles II and his nephew, John, the son of Theodorick I. Some Southern Colonial Families p 141 4 Giles died about 1760 in North Carolina Edgecombe Co., NC Giles and son Giles Jr. (X) appear as witnesses in 1743 and 1744 Giles and wife purchase 250 acres in 1744 and sell it in 1748. Robert witnessed the 1744 deed. .Other Carters witnessing deeds were James (1746, 1753 & 1754); Joseph (1754) From Edgecombe Co., Granville was formed in 1746 and from Granville, Halifax Co. was formed in 1758. In 1760 there are two deeds for Giles Carter Jr (X). I interpret that to mean that Giles, Sr. was also there on 16 June and 6 Dec. 1760. After that date there was no Jr. Note 3 Children of Giles Carter II and Mary Povall: There are many opinions regarding the children of this family. The only child I'm sure of is Mary, who married Ralph HUDSPETH II. LDS Ancestral File for Robert Povall (JVOT-CN): All born in Henrico Co VA Mary b. 1699, m. Ralph Hudspeth Benjamin b. 1701, m.

Giles-2 was a minor when his father wrote his will in 1699. The guardian for Giles-2, William T. Sewell, left his entire estate to Giles-2. William Sewell was probably related to HANNAH or GILES and may have been HANNAH?s brother, or less likely, her father. William Sewell was listed in the 1705 Quit Rent Rolls as owning 59 acres.
