Elizabeth Carter

1736 -

• Name	Elizabeth Carter
  Born	26 Sep 1736	Halifax County, Virginia U.S.A.
  Gender	Female
  Notes	The following messages concerning the Stamps/Carter marriages describe William Stamps marrying Elizabeth Carter; his brother Timothy Stamps marriage to Mary "Polly" Hobson Carter who was William Carter's widow (William Carter the s/o Richard and Susannah Bigger), and the marriage of William Carter s/o Theodorick III and Judith Cunningham, to Mary "Polly" Stamps. I believe these are three different siblings of Theodorick III and Judith Cunningham, et.al. and Theo II. Elizabeth Carter d/o Judith Cunningham married Bill Richardson, I believe this to be accurate information. The Elizabeth Carter who married William Stamps is more likely Ann Waddill and Theodorick II Carter's daughter. Additionally, if William Stamps patented land in 1766 he had to be born prior to that date and so we can deduce that his wife would be born prior to the time he is patenting land. - Mary Frances Reynolds Eggleston; mfeggleston@gmail.com ***************** From: Lynn Marion Subject: [CARTER] William Carter died 1810 Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 12:55:58 -0700 George Holder, From my research I, too, believe that your William is from the Giles CARTER family. The names you list run through all branches of this family. However, I would suggest you check out the STAMPS family, i.e. Thomas, William and Timothy, for possible leads. William (R Wm) STAMPS patented 1020 acres on Birch Creek in Halifax County in 1766. His wife Elizabeth CARTER, born 1766, was the daughter of Theodrick CARTER III. Elizabeth was the sister of William CARTER who married William STAMPS sister, "Polly" STAMPS. After William CARTER'S death "Polly" married her cousin, Timothy STAMPS, on Dec 30. 1811.(Pittsylvania Co Marriage records). Let us know whether this leads anywhere for yoiu. Lynn Marion Original message: I am looking for the parents and siblings of William CARTER who died in Halifax County, North Carolina, in 1810. His will identifies his wife as Deanitia, and his children as William (?Billie?), Theodorick, Joseph. Francis, Mary, Martha, Nancy Ann, and Lucy. The name of the son Theodorick may indicate William is of the Giles Carter of Virginia family but I?ve found no proof.

  Father	Theodorick 3 Carter, II,   b. c 1706, Turkey Island, Henrico Co., Virginia ,   d. 19 Jan 1778, Prince Edward Co., Virginia  (Age 72 years)
  Mother	Ann Waddill,   b. c 1713, New Kent Co., Virginia
  Married	c 1735	Halifax County, Virginia U.S.A.
  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. 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.
