"my six sons that is Nathan Carter, Abraham Carter *, Thomas Carter, Stephen Carter, John Carter, and William Carter" Marriage 1 Margaret "Peggy" (Carter)With birth now at 1726 and some exact date for Abraham, let's use 1747 for the marriage:
Nathan Carter [1750]
Abraham Carter b: 1752 *
Thomas Carter [1754]
Stephen Carter , Jr. [1756]
John Carter [1758]
William Carter [1760]
Liza Carter [1762]
Lucy Carter [1764]
Josiah Carter: His Forebears, Descendants and Allied Families, Randolph A. Malone,
Pg. 19:
"Stephen Carter was apparently the next youngest son after Edward, though he is not mentioned in his father's will. [130] We know he was definitely a son, however, because Thomas mentioned him as a son in a deed to his son Edward [114] and is named as a brother
in Edward's will. [158]".
Pg. 20
Stephen Carter was deeded land by Wm Bayley. Stephen Carter owned property on Bird Creek in Goochland Co, but apparently lived near his brothers in Cumberland Co, as he deeded (as "Stephen Carter of Cumberland Co") his Goochland Co Bird Creek property to John Wodill in 1752. His brother Thos Carter Jr (father of Josiah Carter) witnessed the deed. Further records on Stephen are doubtless available in Cumberland Co.
[The will of Thomas seems to treat Edward - and all the other children - as adults in 1726.
And again, Dan Wallace proves the oldest three brothers were born before 1700].
13. On 28 Dec 1748 Edward Carter signed a will with his mark and it was recorded [DB 5/534] on 18 Apr 1749 in Goochland County witnessed by: John Payne, John Hampton, and William Grymes. The will recited: To my daughter Judith Carter, part of land where I now live between the river and Beaverdam Creek. If my wife is with child, then to that child, the other part of land I live on northeast side of of Beaverdam Creek. If not, then all to my daughter Judith. If my child or children die without issue, then all to my brother Stephan Carter. All rest to my wife Mary for life and then to my children. Executor: my brother John Carter. When his estate inventory (?24..8..6) was recorded [DB 6/14] on 15 Aug 1749 it identified him as Edward Carter, Senior.
How do we know the following is the son of Thomas Carter Sr. of Goochland? Other than the THIRD son as Thomas, there is no clue as to names back to Goochland.
