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.

Devin descendant, Stanley Wayne Devin, passed away at 1:30 a.m. on Dec. 4, 2014. He was the last living child of Ira & Oleta Devin.

      • At the Halifax County. Virginia, coui't, held in
        November, 1799, the following was ordered and made
        of record :

        "Theodrick Carter. Gentleman, is recommended
        to his Excellency, the Governor or Chief Magistrate,
        for the time being, as a fit person to execute the office
        of Sheriff of this County for the ensuing year."

        He filled the office for two successive terms. His
        identification aided materially in clearing up a
        tangled procession of Theodricks in that generation.

        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.


        Theo?d Carter [seal]

        Witnesses: William Waddill, Elizabeth Clarke, and Agnes Watkins.


        Agnes Watkins, the witness to this will, was the wife of Francis Watkins, one of the executors of the will. 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.

      • Judith Townes is often shown as the first wife of Theodorick Carter by reputable researchers, with these listed children; however, if Theodorick married Sally Ellbank in 1763, as is listed, then these children would be hers. There is something missing in this research.-Mary Frances Eggleston
