News: Looking for females who are in the pure female lines (mother to daughter) from William and Sarah who are willing to do an mtDNA test. Such a person would be descended along an all female line from Mary DEVIN Biggers or Margaret DEVIN Reynolds. The hope is to identify the markers for Sarah SMITH Devin to help identify her parents. Contact the webmaster if interested.

        "Henry Carter Ann Davis was married ye 6th day of May 1701"

        The Prayer Book has his marriage to Anne Davis on 06 May 1701.

        Library of Virginia has his will probated 10 Feb 1743 -

        GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES From the William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine, Vol. I. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1982. Page 602-603.

        "Henry Carter (Thomas (1)), born 1674, died 1743. In a deposition made April 8, 1743, Henry Carter stated that he was about 69 years of age. Sometime prior to 1704 he married Anne Harris, as shown by a lease for 200 acres of land , dated Nov. 9, 1704, from Henry Carter and wife Ann "who was daughter of Gainey Harris late of this county Gent, who by his will dated 14 th April, 1693, left the above mentioned premises to his daughter Ann". From 1728 to 1740 "Mr. Henry Carter" was continuously a Justice of the County Court. April 5, 1737, Henry Carter and brother Joseph were two of eleven signers to a memorial complaining of the misrepresentation of Wm. Ball, Jr., Gent. who had been a Justice of Lancaster for nine years and then omitted from the Commission because of misrepresentation.

        "Henry Carter was a vestryman of Christ Church and before his death in 1743 he was one of six vestrymen to meet with a like number from St. Mary's White Chapel to form a general vestry for the two parishes. His brother Joseph Carter was a vestryman from St. Mary's at the same time....March 21, 1732, "Henry Carter of the County of Lancaster Gent." made his will which was probated Oct. 10, 1743. He left home plantation and negro, Courtney, to son Gainy; negroes Tom and Jack to three daughters and son Robert all of whom were to have the right to remain at home till the daughters married and Robert arrived at the age of sixteen. Daughters also to have two beds and furniture and their mother's jewelry - Catherine the biggest gold ring, Ann the lesser ring, and Elizabeth the gold bobbs; Son John to have a chest in the "outward room", a new hat, his silver cup, and a ten shilling piece of gold he had from his mother Katharine Dale to make him a mourning ring; Son Harry his little trunk, new dugget coat and breeches and dimity and linen clothes; son Josiah, horse named Jack, a steere, new saddle and bridle; son Robert, the smallest bed and furniture upstairs. All to share equally in the rest of the estate. Brother Thomas Carter to have his silver seal. Desires that his "Cousin Thomas Carter" assist son Gainy in managing the negroes. This would seem to indicate that Capt. Thomas Carter Sr. had a brother who had descendants in that part of Virginia. There was a family of Carters in Middlesex county, contemporaneous with Capt. Thomas Carter and his sons, who had similar given names to those in Lancaster. Henry Carter's personal estate contained besides the usual furniture, and jewelry mentioned in the will, a large amount of clothing, 15 books, a pair of silver shoe buckles, a viol, twelve leather chairs, 2 pewter flower pots, etc."
