How To Use This Book

In tracing- your line of Carter ancestry back to Capt. Thomas Carter, of Barford, Lancaster County, Va., first by means of the index, find yourself or the parent, through whom you trace; then by means of the name numbers follow your line back till you come to the son of Capt. Thomas, from w^hom you descend. The book has been divided into sections, each or* which is devoted to an ac- count of a son of Captain Carter and his descendants.

PREFACE

Not many persons but at some time long to open the chronicles of the past and read the records of their ancestors ; for, as Edward Everett says, "There is no man of culture who does not take an interest in what was done by his forefathers.''

"Beneath the roots of tangled weeds,

Afar in country graveyards, lie The men whose unrecorded deeds

Have stamped this nation's destiny. '

Genealog-y has a wider field of usefulness than that of merely promoting family pride. Among other things may be mentioned the collection and preservation of much that is valuable in ancient manners and customs, and the putting in easy reach of :he present day historians new and authentic ideas as to the source of our colonial population and their social and political character- isitics.

This volume is the record of a family that for two hundred and sixty years has played a part in the social, political and military life of the Old Dominion and other States to the south and west. While many have held high places of trust and honor, the majority have not been mien of great wealth and public position, yet it is to their credit that they were good citizens. leading honorable lives — acting well their part in the local atifairs of their neighborhoods, and always finding a place on the battle- field for principle's sake. We should not love our kindred alone for their genius and glory, but also for their homely virtues and domestic affections that expanded and flourished unob- served save by the little world in which they moved.

The first of the family in Virginia was Capt. Thomas Carter, planter and tobacco trader, said to have been the son of a London merchant, though it is pretty well established that ''gentle blood coursed through his veins." Among his descendants have been

PREFACE

vestrymen, justices, sheriffs, legislators, congressmen, circuit and supreme court judges and candidates for Governor ; and in military affairs they have ranged from private to brigadier-general. In the hundreds of wills, deeds and other papers of the Carter family examined, but one man made his mark ; and in the in- ventories of their personal estates for two and a half centuries the possession of books is recorded in all.

A noticeable fact is that many of the Carters of \^irginia as well as elsewhere, though they cannot give a connected account of their ancestry beyond the Revolution, are by '"tradition" descendants famous old "King Carter of Corotom.an,'" whose immense wealth has enabled his descendants to hold on to the splendid old homes of his sons, and the frequent appearance in print of accounts of these has done much to spread and maintain this idea. These "traditions" have been particularly hard to shake even in the light of comprehensive data to the contrary from the original public records, and in a few instances I fear the families, like the proverbial woman, convinced against their will are of the same opinion still — with them, it is ant Casar aiit nidlus. A writer in The Times-Dispatch a few years ago said: "Almost everybody by the name of Carter aspires to be descended from that lordly old John of Corotoman, whose son Robert is the only Virginian who rejoiced in the name of 'King.' He made the high-water mark of Virginia Carters. So prominent were these Corotoman Carters that one is apt to conclude that really no other Carters are worth a moment's notice. Such however is far from being the case." I believe that the following pages will show that during the same period there was another Carter family in Virginia to which no one need be ashamed to belong, though it has never possessed as great wealth nor been allied with as many of the really great families of the Old Dominion. However, their marriages in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries con- nected this Carter family with the Dales, Skipwiths, Balls, Thorn- tons, Fitzhughs, Masons, Chews. Beverleys, Armisteads and other well known families, and in the early nineteenth century with the Washingtons, Lees, Pages, Pendletons, Blands, Bacons, Talia- ferros, Marshalls and others. ;..

PREFACE

While there were a number of Carter emigrants to Mrginia during the seventeenth century, but five of them seem to have been of any prominence, judging from their possessions, poHtical preferment, etc. They were :

1st. WilHam Carter, who patented more than two thousand acres in the county of James City between 1635 and 1640; and doubtless was the emigrant ancestor of the Carter families found in James City county and Surry and adjacent Southside counties in the next century, among whom were Dr. James Carter, of Williamsburg, about the middle of the iSth century, and Dr. Thomas Carter of the Revolution. The loss of the James City records precludes the writing of a history of this family.

2d. Col. Edward Carter, who settled in Nansemond County prior to 1650,. was a member of the House of Burgesses, Coun- cil, colonel of militia, etc. He purchased large plantations on the Rappahannock in Lancaster County, but probably never lived on them ; returned to England, where his will probated in 1682 styles him as '"Edward Carter, Esq. of Edmonton, ]\Iiddie- sex." So far as known he has no descendants in Virginia.

^d. Col. John Carter, who settled in Nansemond County prior to 1650, was a colonel of militia, justice, Burgess, mem.ber of the Councill, etc. About 1650 purchased several thousand acres of land on Corotoman River, Lancaster, to which he re- moved and founded the famous "Corotoman" estate of this Car- ter family. He died comparatively young in 1669, but in the meantime had had five wives, one of whom was a daughter of Cleve Carter of England. In this connection the following notes may be of interest: Thomas Carter of Somerset, descended from Thomas Carter, Gent, of Crumdale, County Kent, died in 1603 leaving issue — George, eldest son ; Thomas of Winchauck, yeoman (born in 1592), Christopher, Jonas, Richard, and Cleve. This Cleve Carter may have been the Clyve Carter, aged 25 years, of St. Alphage, Canterbury, Woolendraper, who obtained a license April 17, 1624, to marry Elizabeth Boys, aged 19 years, daughter of Edward Boys of Boneington. parish of Goodnestone. They might have had a daughter who married Col. John Carter

PREFACE

of Va. Col. John Carter of "Corotoman" left tliree sons — John, the eldest, died without male issue; Charles, the youngest, died unmarried, and Robert, the second son, was the famous Robert Carter of '•Corotoman" and ancestor of all of this family of Car- ters. Numerous accounts of this family have been published, and the late Mr. Robert Carter of -Shirley" and his daughter some years ago prepared an extensive chart of the family in both male and female branches.

4th. Capt. Thomas Carter, who came to Virginia prior to 1652— it is thought to Nansemond County — was a captain of militia, justice, deputy clerk of his county. Burgess (?), ere. Purchased a large plantation on Corotoman River from Col. John Carter and was settled there in 1652. Of his descendants this volume is the first published account, except some preliminarv notes in the IVUUam and Mary Quarterly.

5th. Giles Carter, who came to \'irginia several years later than the others, and died in Henrico County in 1701 at the age of 67 years, leaving sons Giles and Theodorick, and daughters Mrs. Davis and Mrs. Williamson. So far as known he never held any military or political position, and is supposed to have belonged to the Gloucestershire Carters. His descendants were chiefly settled in Henrico, Goochland, Prince Edward, and Hali- fax counties. An interesting account of them has been published by Gen. W. H. G. Carter, U. S. A.

In some counties in Virginia the untangling of the Carter lines has been very trying, as in addition to two or three branches of the Thomas Carter family there was also one or more branches of the descendants of Col. John Carter and Giles Carter. As for example in the small section of Southw^est Virginia, now in the county of Scott, there settled between the years 1772 and 1795 the following Carters : Thomas, Joseph, and Norris Carter. -,ons of Peter Carter of Fauquier; Dale, John, and Charles Carter, sons of Charles Carter of Amherst, a brother of Peter of Fau- quier; John Carter, Sr., and sans John and Landon, supposed to have been of the Corotom.an Carters— later removed to Ten- nessee; Joseph and John Carter, who came direct from Enjrland ;

and in the next decade William Carter, supposed to have be- longed to the Giles Carter family, and Richard Carter from North Carolina. ]Most of them were opposed to race suicide, left large families and few records, many of their descendants intermarrying until some of the present generation are descended from at least four of the original emigrants.

Unfortunately many invaluable public records, as well as fam- ily papers, have been lost through the ravages of time, fire, and war. Much, however, remains, and it has been my endeavor to collect and perpetuate this in the present form for future genera- tions of the family. In the following pages I have tried to give more than a mere genealogical skeleton of names and dates by giving little peculiarities, description of personal belongings, ex- tracts from old letters, diaries, and other interesting data relative to the fam.ily. At this point may say that I have shown no in- tentional partiality to one branch over another, the difference in the accounts being in the amount of material available. The criticism may be advanced that I have included too many of these unimportant details, rendering the work cumbersome to the genealogical worker ; and that many of the accounts of the allied families, being only extracts from printed works, might well have been omitted. In reply will say that this book is in- tended primarily for the members of the Carter family, and it is thought that no detail of the lives of their ancestors will be without interest to them. The notes of the allied fam.ilies are included to give them in accessible form some data of their an- cestors other than Carter. It is hoped that the index will make the book useful to genealogical workers as well. Since my pre- liminary account in the IVilliam and Mary Quarterly, the dis- covery of the old Carter Prayer Book and other family records have made necessary some changes in the branches as formerly traced. After 1800 the accounts are given on the authority of one or more members of the branch in question ; previous to that year they are based on original public or private records.

But few of the earlier female branches of the family have been traced, and many of the male branches were lost during the "scattering time" near the close of the eighteenth centurv,

PREFACE

when there was such an exodus from the older counties of Vir- ginia to newer sections of that State or other States to the south and west — the emigrants forgetting to leave behind in the public records their new address.

Delightful have been the weeks spent in the clerks' offices among the quaint and interesting records of past generations, and in the great libraries in Richmond, Baltimore, Washington, and Lexington, Ky. Of meeting and corresponding with many interesting members of the family, and gathering from all these sources extracts from the faded records, traditions, old letters, papers, pictures, etc., and then fitting them to each other like putting together the fragments of a piece of broken china.

The following pages have been written at spare moments caught from professional duties, and the few who read them will not realize more fully, or regret more sincerely, their faults than the author.

The Carters in the Revolution

Unfortunately \'irginia has never had a comprehensive roster of her soldiers and sailors in the Revolution, though various special lists have appeared from time to time in the past hundred years. However, the \'irginia State Library has now taken the matter up and is preparing a comprehensive alphabetical roster of all the Virginia soldiers, in the Revolution, based upon al! the known sources, both printed and manuscript; and doubtless will have it printed when completed. Anyone wishing to obtain the record of Revolutionary War service of some Virginia ancestor, no doubt can obtain it for a reasonable fee from the librarian of the Vir- ginia State Library, Richmond, \'a.

In October, 191 1, the Virginia Historical Magazine began the publication of a comprehensive Bibliographv of printed and manu- script sources relative to the service of \'irginians in the Revolu- tion. To the present time this covers nearly forty pages in the magazine, and is not yet complete.

Since it has been impossible for me to examine all these sources, I shall make no attempt to print here a list of the Carters who saw service in the Revolution, though from the few lists accessible to me I have found the names of thirty-six Carters.

FIXETTA AXXE LYOXS, (Mrs. Henderson Miller), From whom I derive my Carter blood, this history of her people is afFectionateiy dedicated.

Genealogy of the Carter Family

Captain Thomas Carter

Origin.

The name Carter is given among the fifty surnames most ccm- monly found in England, and is of quite ancient respectability, as it occurs among the country gentry as early as the four- teenth century. From early times there seem to have been two separate Carter families in England.

The use of the talbot, buckle, and Catharine wheel, in various combinations in the arms of the different Carter families settled to the north of London in the small adjoining counties of Bed- ford, Hertford, Middlesex, Buckingham. Oxford, and the still more northerly shires of Northumberland and York, would seem to bind them all more or less closely to one fountain head of this blood, the original seat of the family probably being in Bedford or Hertfordshire. The other Carters were located to the south of London in Kent, Cornwall, Somerset, Devon, and Ireland, with no similarity whatever between their arms and those of the northern Carters, the original seat of the southern Carters proba- bly being in Kent. In the century preceding the settlement of Virginia a great many of the Carter families, both north and south, sent a number of their younger sons to London to seek their fortunes in business.

The arms used by Col. John Carter of "Corotoman," Virginia, and by Capt. Thomas Carter of "Ear ford," Virginia, indicate that both belonged to the Carters north of London, though not the same family.

Ancestry.

Of the ancestry- of Capt. Thomas Carter, of "Barford," Christ Church Parish, Lancaster County, Virginia, we know nothing certain. The tradition preserved by a branch of the family in Lancaster and recorded in 1858 says that he was the son of a London merchant of good family.

2 GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

The circumstantial evidence of the crest on his seal, the nam- ing of his home "Barford," and the striking similarity of the bap- tismal names of his children and their descendants with those of Bedfordshire, makes it appear strongly probable that he was more or less closely connected with the ancient Carter family of '^Kimpson," Bedfordshire. I am of the opinion that he was a son of one of the sons of William Carter, Gent, of Kimpson. Bedfordshire (buried Dec. i. 1605), and his wife, ^larv Ancell (Buried March i, 1619), daughter of Thomas Ancell, Esq.. of Barford, in Co. Bedford. They had issue seven sons and ten daughters as follows : Thomas, eldest son and heir, born Sept. 19. 1575; Xichoias, William, Anne. Winifred, Marv, Oliver, Amye, Elizabetli. Temperance. Anne, Ursula. Ancd. Robert,' Katharine, Alice, and John, the youngest, born Xov. 5, 1599., The names Henry, Edward and Daniel appear among the chil- dren of those sons of William and Mary Ancell Carter', of whom we have record.

Capt. Thomas Carter of Virginia may possibly have been the youngest son of Ancell Carter, born Oct. 2d,, 1591, son of Wm. and Mary Carter of Kimpson, who settled in Lx)ndon. At the visitation of the Heralds from the College of Arms in 1634, Ansyll (Ancell) Carter of London, Grocer, had six sons living as follows : George, eldest son, John, Ansyle, William, James. and Tlwwas, youngest son, who could not have been over three or four years old in 1634. Capt. Thomas Carter of Virginia was born in 16303 1.

No original paper of Capt. Thomas Carter bearing his own seal has been found (he sealed his will with the Dale crest), but his grandson, Joseph Carter of Spotsylvania, in 1739 u^ed a seal bearing the initials 'T. C." surmounted by a crest showing a demi-talbot out of a mural crown. This is one of the crest'^ of the Kimpson Carters and of Ancell Carter of London.

Though the parentage of Capt. Thomas Carter is not known, as is likewise the case of Col. John Carter of "Corotoman- and a number of other prominent emigrants to Virginia, there is plenty of evidence to show that he came of a good family, who-c claim to gentility was unquestioned. He lived in an age when a

GE\'EALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 3

man's pretensions to social consideration must bear thorough investigation before being allowed; and Capt. Thomas Carter's seem to have stood the test.

Mr. Richard Alexander Bruce in his Social History of the Seventeenth Century in \'irginia says: "There was the clear- est recognition of class distinctions in every department of Vir- ginia life during the seventeenth century, a fact brought out in numerous ways by the silent testimony of different legal docu- ments which have survived to the present day. The colonial custom, following the immemorial English, was in such docu- ments to fix by terms, whose legal meaning was understood, tlie social position of the principal persons mentioned therein. In conversation the term "Mister" was no doubt applied to both gentlemen and yeomen ; the term seems in fact to have been re- served in those early times in all forms of written and printed matter for those whose claim to be gentlemen in the broad social sense was admitted by all."

Mr. Bruce says further that in Virginia this use was observed most constantly in the county tax lists, where only gentlemen received any designation at all; and that was always cither "Mr." or a military title if such was possessed. The Lancaster records abundantly substantiate such a claim for Thomas Carter, as from his first appearance in the tax list of 1653 as "Mr. Tho: Carter" until his death in 1700 he does not appear without the distin- guishing "Mr." or "Capt."

HlMSELF,^--^"

The first written account we have of Thomas Carter, Gent., the emigrant, is in a MSS. account of the family in 1858 by John Carter of "The Xest," Lancaster County, who derived most of his traditions from a maiden aunt— Miss Fanny Carter, born >n 1738, died in 1830, who seems to have known a great deal about the family. But in every generation the spinsters of a family, having no husband or children to occupy their time, have been the repositors of its genealogical lore. The account of Thomas Carter is as follows:

"Our ancestors came to Mrginia about two hundred years ago & settled in Lancaster County. The first one of the Carters was

i

4 GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

my grandfather's grandfather Thomas Carter son of a London merchant of good family.

"I have heard said there was two brothers of them the other being a John Carter who settled south of the river in Essex but further I can"t say. And I have heard said we are kin to old Robert Carter who is buried at old Christ Church in this County but have never found out how. He was very rich— some say the richest man in \irginia.

"Our old Ancestor Thomas Carter was about 21 years old when he come to Lancaster and he was a man of substance and position as a planter and tobacco trader. He was married twice. First to an English woman whose name I've never heard, they had 2 or 3 children who all died young. She died and he mar- ried a Miss Dale of good connections and had seven sons and two daughters named Thomas, Edward, James, John, Henry, Peter, & Joseph and the girls was Betty and Katy.

'•Betty married a IMiy George and has descendants in this ^ county. Katy aunt Fanny said was a great beauty and married a Mr. Tabb and I gtiess was the great grandmother of the Glou- cester Tabbs who are a rich and prominent family.'' Note.— The old Carter Prayer Book says that Katharine Carter married John Lawson on the i6th of June 1703.

The remainder of this :\ISS. will be given under the different branches of the family to which it refers. It is written in a little leather bound "Diary" for the year 1858 and is nov.- owned by Miss Mary Carter, an aged lady, at present living in Lincoln County, Ky. It was sent to her uncle Thomas Carter, in 1S58, by his uncle John Carter of Lancaster County. The first page is as follows: "The Carter Family Tree, for Thomas Carter Esq', Lexington, Ky. Written out by John Carter of The Xest Lancaster County \'irginia from notes from the old papers at the Court House and the recollections of his aunt Miss Frances Carter who was born in the year 1738 and died in the year 1830." As shown by the above note and the Lancaster records, Cant. Thomas Carter was besides being a planter, a merchant and to- bacco trader and probably was the son of a merchant. This fs true of the majority of the seventeenth centurv Virginians whj

GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY 5

made any stir in the social or political affairs of the colony. While most of them were more or less closely connected with the minor gentry at home in England, and an occasional "cousin to a lord," in the main the emigrants were either members of the various craft guilds or professions or sons of members.

Of the social status of these ancient tradesmen we know that in the seventeenth century the military, clerical, legal and medi- cal professions and the mechanical and merchantile arts held re- lations to the social life of England vastly different from, what they now have. These professions and occupations at that time were filled by the younger sons of both the nobility and landed gentry, who, owing to the law of primogeniture fixing the par- ental estate upon the eldest son, were thus dispersed to seek their fortune and honor elsewhere, without in any way affecting their lineal traits or mental and social investments. So a great (leal of the very best blood in England entered the twelve great craft or livery companies as indentured apprentices to learn some trade or craft and later to be freem.en of the same. Long lists of titled persons who actually served their apprenticeship have appeared. It is said that "from these companies sprang many of the noblest houses and grandest characters of English history."

Upon their arrival in Virginia many of these seventeenth cen- tury emigrants set up stores along the great rivers; commanded their own trading vessels, or went into business as master crafts- men, such as saddlers, carpenters, etc. Among the early mer- chants were the ancestors of many of the families that for three centuries have been pre-eminent in \'irginia, such as the Lees, Byrds. Randolphs, Nelsons, Carters of Corotoman, Lightfoots, and others. Upon acquiring land, which most of them did soon after landing, the English law gave them the right to resume the distinguishing title of "gentleman" and the coat of arms, which came to them from their landed ancestors in England.

Mrs. Sally Xelson Robins, a descendant of some of Virginia's rr.ost prominent families, writes: "We Virginians should never be srornful of trade, for the best of our forefathers (and indeed tMc mo?t of the early ones) coined money in their houses of

6 GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY

general merchandise. * * * They did not come to the New World for the pleasure of the thing — ah, no ! it was for a better living than England afforded them, and when they got here they had to hustle, as the pioneers who suffered and toiled in Alaska hustled twenty years ago. The Virginia colonist didn't have the snow and ice in abundance, but he had chills and fever — much worse — and other ills not accounted for. To make his living he set up a store, or contracted for the erection of buildings, and in consequence was called "carpenter." and this affix to his honorable name shocks his twentieth century descendants, who think of \'irginians as dashing cavaliers, never as tradesm.en. The little store helped to move the great plantation and evolved the lordly planter, the most picturesque personage (after the Indian) in America."

Like Colonels Edward and John Carter, Captain Thomas Car- ter seems to have lived at first after he came to Virginia in Nansemond County and to have continued his store in that county after he had removed to Lancaster. He appears first in the tax list of Lancaster County in 1653 when '■M^ Tho: Car- ter" paid tithes on himself and four servants. Fromi this time on until his death he appears with a varying num.ber of ser- vants— in 1663 he paid for twenty, and in 1699, the year before he died, for nine.

He purchased his first plantation of about eight hundred acres on the "Eastermost branch of Corotoman River" from Col. John Carter, and June i, 1654, acknowledged the debt in court — 12,852 pounds of tobacco to be paid the following October "at ■ ye dwelling house of the sd M' Tho: Carter," and 130 sterling on Sept. 18, 1655. "Mr. Thomas Carter," "Planter," "Mer- chant," and "Gent." acquired land as follows :

Jan. 14, 1656, from George Marsh, 560 acres; 1658 from Ed- mund Lunsford a plantation, acreage not given: Dec. 8, 1674 from his father-in-law Edward Dale, "Gent." 500 acres; May 27, 1657 a patent for 150 acres; Sept. 20, 1661, patent for 220 acres; and in the next thirty years patents for small parcels aggregating 470 acres. He seems to have kept practically all of tliis during his lifetime. The old court records show that he

GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY 7

appeared frequently as the attorney for non-residents of Lancas- ter both in other parts of Virginia and England, thus showing that he had a wide acquaintance.

"Oct" ye 21^ 1663 According to order the Oath of a Commis- sioner (justice) was this day Administered to Capt. Thomas Car- ter after which he sat in the Court," and continued on the bench until Nov. 8. 1665. March 8, 1670 the following order of court was recorded: "At ye request of Mr. Edward Dale, Mr: Tho: Carter is dep'td Clerke for the said Dale fifor conformation of whom in ye Clerke's place it is ordered by this Court Y*^ a

bee sent to ye Ho^' Thomas Ludwell Esq^ Secretary

for his approbation." The first order shows that he was a cap- tain in the Lancaster militia. It is also believed that he wa3 a burgess in 1667 and probably subsequently. The Randolph papers show that a "Captain Carter" was a burgess in that year and a member of one of the committees. This was during the "Long Assembly", which convened March 23, 1661, and lasted until Mar. 7, 1676 without a general election. At this time there seems to have been no other Carters, of any prominence, in Vir- ginia outside of those in Lancaster County, and Giles Carter of Henrico County, who is said to have never held any military or political position. In Lancaster County the tax list for 1667 shows the names of "Col. John Carter, Sr."; Col. Edward Car- ter", "Capt. Thomas Carter," and ''Mr. John Carter, Jun." April II, 1666 Col. John Carter, Sr. as presiding justice administered the oath of a justice to his son "Mr. Jo: Carter", whose name appears in the list of justices with the title of "Mr." until 1670, when he appeared as "Capt." John Carter. For a number of years prior to 1661 Lancaster county had two and sometimes three representatives in the House of Burgesses, but the incom- plete lists of the "Long Assembly" give her but one, though it is presumed that she had as many burgesses during that period as before and after.

Were the old vestry boote-of Christ Church in existence \f^x^^ would most probably show the name of Capt. Thomas Carter among the vestrymen and church wardens. The old vestry book beginning in 1739 ^or the combined parishes of Christ Church

8 G EXE A LOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

and St. Mary's White Chapel, gives the names of the two sons cf Capt. Thomas Carter sur^-iving at that time, and two of his grandsons among the vestrymen and church wardens ; and a grandson and a great grandson were clerks of the vestry for a number of years.

From Mrs. John Scarlett Smith of San Francisco, whose step- mother was a Carter, I have obtained the old Carter Prayer Book, printed in 1662. which contains many valuable records of this family.

The early marriage and birth records in this old bock are all in the same handwriting, but as it is a seventeenth century hand, they were probably written in by Capt. Thomas himself in his old days, or else copied from some other record by one of his sons.

Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. died Oct. 22, 1700 "aged about 70 years."

Mrs. Catharine Dale Carter died May 10, 1703 in the 51st year of her life.

Capt. Carter's will, dated Aug. 16, 1700 was probated Nov. 14. 1700 by his second son Thomas Carter, Jr. He divided his estate as follows : Wife Catharine to have the home plantation for tlie rest of her life, a negro man named Dick, the great table, and one-third of the remainder of his personal property. Sons Edward, Thomas, Henry (then hi England) and John to

10 GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

each have a hundred acres of land ; son James to have the land devised to Henry if the latter did not return from England. Daughters Elizabeth and Katharine, and soni Peter and Joseph had been provided for by their grandfather Dale. Son-in-law William George to account for 1,560 pounds of tobacco that he had advanced him on the Dale estate due to his wife from her grandfather. Son Thomas to have the home plantation after the death of his mother. The rest of his real and personal estates to be divided equally between all children.

Capt. Carter sealed his will with a seal showing the crest of his father-in-law, Edward Dale, which doubtless was more con- venient at the time of signing the paper than his own sea'. The original papers in Virginia show numerous examples of men using some other family seal than their own, though they are known to have possessed one with their own crest on it.

The personal estate amounted to £236. and included a "parcel of old Bookes", a silver drinking pot, tankard, and twelve 'silver spoons, beside the usual household and plantation furnishings of a man of his class.

I obtained from a Mr. Dorit, a Lancaster photographer, a photograph and description of a delapidated old frame house standing not far from Corotoman River, and said to have been the old Carter home. It is a long wooden building, a story and a half high, and dormer windows front and back. There are four rooms and a small hall on each floor. A small chimnev in the center and a great inside chimney at each end with enormous fireplaces upstairs and down. On either side of these end chim- neys were large alcoves or closets with windows in them. The main rooms were about sixteen by twenty- four feet.

Imagination easily pictures Thomas Carter with his family and neighbors in the long winter evenings gathered about the huge log fires piled high in these wide throated chimneys at 'B^v- ford." And while the boys and girls played the old-time Eng- lish games, roasting chestnuts, telling apple seeds, or dancing the old English dances, their elders around a great bowl of steaming punch (as was the custom), sang the old songs and told tales oi the old days -at home"— their hearts and minds filled with haopv

Ancestry of Katherine Dale, Wife of Captain Thomas Carter

The Dales and Skipwiths.

Among the royalists who sought refuge in V'irginia after the death of King Charles I., were Sir Grey Skipwith and his brother-in-law Edward Dale, Gentleman. Sir Grey was the second son of Sir Henry Skipwith, Baronet of Prestwould, Lei- cestershire, whose ancestry goes back in an unbroken line to the time of the Conqueror; and Major Dale was of the ancient fam- ily of Dale of Northampton and London, which originally was of county Chester, as he used the same arms, the crest of which is shown on his seal to a paper at Lancaster Court House, Va.

They belonged to that class of emigrants to Virginia, who, Mr. Philip Alexander Bruce in his Social History of Virginia in the Seventeenth Century says: "Enjoyed an influence in the social life of the Colony which was out of proportion to their mere number. Some of these men, as we have seen, were per- sons of rank in England ; others were untitled officers in the royal armies, and with few exceptions all were sprung from the English landed gentry. They brought with them to Virginia the tastes and habits of the society in which they moved, and to which they belonged by birth as well as by association, the society of the English country gentleman."

They settled on the Rappahannock, but on different sides of it ; Sir Grey Skipwith in what is now Middlesex County, and Major Dale in Lancaster. Major Dale soon began taking a prominent part in county affairs and from 1655 to 1674 was clerk of Lancaster county; from 1669 to 1684 a Justice, or Com- missioner of the County Court; in the years 1670, 1671, 1679, and 1680 High Shriff ; and in 1677 and 16B2-83 Member of the House of Burgesses.

The old records of Lancaster for the first two or three years after the county was organized are not quite complete, but Ed-

Portrait of Major Edward Dale. (In the posicssion of Dr. Joseph Lyon Miller, Thomas. \V. Vu-)

GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 13

ward Dale appears as Clerk of the county in 1655, and thence continuously until ]May 10, 1674 when John Stretchley took the oath as clerk of the county.

In Colonial days the clerk was probably the most important officer next after the County Lieutenant, and besides belonging to the local gentry, was one of the leading men of his county, or what that champion gossip, Samuel Pepys denominates "'a very great man"; which needs no other proof than the mention of such names as Sir Marmaduke Beckwith, Sir Grey Skipwith, Peter Beverley, Benj. Harrison, \Vm. Nelson, Wm. Stanard, \Vm. Randolph, Robert Boiling, \\"m. Fitzhugh, Thomas Lee and dozens of other names of equal prominence, whose owners were clerks of their respective counties. The clerks were also the legal advisers to a large part of their constituents, and for a time were permitted to act as attorneys before the court, but even after this priviledge was taken from them they probably drew up more deeds and wills than all the other attorneys in the county. Edward Dale's library included the following law Ux>ks: The Compleat Justice, The Office of a Complete Attor- ney (in Octavo), Jure Maritimo (Quarto), De Jureaments by Sanderson, The Book of Oathes, and Virginia Laws (in folio).

From sometime in 1669 till April 1684 Edward Dale was a Justice of the County Court, which included such men as Cols. John Carter, Sr. and Jr., Capt. David Fox, Capt. Wm. Ball, Capt. Thomas Carter, :Mr. Rawleigh Travers, :Mr. Richard Par- rott, and Mr. John Custis. :Mr. Bruce says, 'Throughout the Seventeenth century, the most important tribunal in Virginia for the administration of local justice was the monthly or county court," He continues, "According to the Act of 1661-2, the jus- tices were to be chosen from among the 'most able, honest, and judicious' citizens of their respective counties. * * * There are innumerable proofs that they were drawn from the body of the wealthiest, most capable and most respected men to be found Jn the whole community." "The office of a justice was looked upon as being &<:> purely honorable that, following the English precedent, it carried no salary in the strict sense of the term; nor were there any perquisites growing out of the position ap-

preaching in importance those which made the office of Coun- cillor so valuable from a pecuniary point of view.'' The judges on the county bencli were allowed thirty pounds of tobacco from each litigant who failed to win his case.

The old records show that in the years 1670, 1671, 1679 and 1680 Major Dale was High SherilT of Lancaster, having been chosen by the governor from among the names presented to him by the county court, as for example the court held for ]\Iarch 1679, "Ordered that ]Mr. Thomas Grymes, Major Edward Dale and Mr. Robt: Griggs be presented to the Rt. Hon^=« S^ Henry Chicheley Lt. Deputy Govern' and Capt Generall of Virg^ in election of a Sheriff for this county for the year Ensuing." And on May 12, 1679, "According to order of the Right Hono*"^ Sr William Berkeley, K'. Governor and Cap' Gen" of Virginia the oath of high Sheriff for this County was this day administered to Maj° Edward Dale." For 16S0 his commission was dated April 10, and he took the oath on May 26th. In 1681 he ap- peared as the security of Capt. David Fox who was commis- sioned high Sheriff. Bruce says. "From some points of view, the sheriff was a more important officer than the clerk.'' "The shrievalty was invested with as much dignity in Virginia as it was in the ]\Iother Country itself." Blackstone, the great Eng- lish jurist, says of the English sheriff' that, "as the keeper of the King's Peace both by common law and special commission, he is the first man in the county and superior in rank to any noble- man therein during his office."

In Nov. 1677 and January 1683 Major Dale received from the county court his pay as a Burgees from Lancaster county — eight thousand eight hundred and fifty-five pounds for each service.

The date of Edward Dale's commission as a major in the Lancaster militia has not been ascertained, he appeared in a list of militia officers in Virginia in 1680 as Major Dale, and in the various court records previous to that year. Bruce says, "The members of the House of Burgesses belonged to the circle of foremost citizens of the colony. Although all ranks of freem.en enjoyed the franchise down to 1670, there is no indication that this system of universal suffrage led to the frequent election of

GENEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 15

representatives of an inferior standing from a social point of view." And of tlie officers of the militia that ""The men who bore these military titles were the foremost in all the various departments of action represented in the Colony."

Maj. Dale's part in Bacon's rebellion seems to have been that he represented Lancaster county "Att a Committy (by OrdCf of Ye Grand Assembly) for Laying a Levy in the Northern Neck for ye charge in Raisinge ye forces thereof for suppres- sing ye late rebellion mett at Capt. Beales ye 14'*" of August 1677 being present Mr. \Vm. Presley, Maj' Ed. Dale, ^lajor Isaac Allerton, Mr. Peter Presley, Coll. Wm. Travers, Coll. Sam' Griffin, Coll. George Mason, & Mr. Martin Scarlett."

In addition to his offices in Lancaster, his home county, Edward Dale was also the first clerk of Westmoreland county between the years 1652 and 1662, running the office by the help of a deputy.

The old worthies of Seventeenth century Virginia were very careful of their honor and dignity, and prompt and severe in their resentment of any infringement of the same. On February 8th, 1670, in contending for a point of this kind Mr. Dale routed the entire court, causing them to adjourn without transacting any business, as the only record of their meeting is as follows : "Mr. Edward Dale, Clerk of this county & in Commission for the peace, and high Sher'. of this County conceiving himself sufficiently qualified to sett covered in Court w"^ some of ye sd Justices would not allow of they did thereupon adjourn till ye second Wednesday in the month next." During his fifteen years on the county bench he dissented from the opinion of the other justfces more than any other one of them, and always saw to it that his dissentions were recorded. Another illustration of an affront to their dignity in which Major Dale played a part is as follows : "Att a court for ye County of Lancaster Nov. y® 8'** Ano Dni 1 67 1 at ye Co" house these Mr.Will Ball Sen.

The existing Lancaster records show no deed to ^Major Edward Dale prior to May 6, 1663, when he had a certificate for 750 acres by assignment from Rich : Perrott ; and on the same date five hundred acres from Richard Merryman. March 30th, 1662 John and Margaret Paine sold to Richard Merryman "the planta- tion whereon Mr. Edw"^ Dale now liveth." Feb. 2, 1664 ^laj. Dale had a deed from Edward Lunsford for three hundred and fifty acres of land on the Eastermost branch of Corotoman River; and Dec. 14th. of same year a deed from \Vm. Chappan for 700 acres on the same branch, for the two of which he paid eleven thousand pounds of tobacco for five hundred acres ; and in May 1681 a like amount to Thomas Chetwood, mierchant, for six hundred acres in St. Mary's White Chappel parish to which he removed and where he lived the remainder of his life.

Of this thirty four hundred acres Maj. Dale deeded five hundred to his daughter Katharine Carter in 1674, and six hundred acres

GE.^EALOGy OF THE CARTER FAMILY ly

to his daughter Elizabeth Rogers in 1677. In all of his deeds and other papers he was always styled "Edward Dale, Gentle- man,"' a title that in the seventeenth century was defined with legal precision, and its use not permitted to any one who had not the right to it. Major Dale's original will has disappeared from the clerk's office at Lancaster court house, but fortunately his son-in-law, Capt. Thomas Carter, sealed his will in 1700 with a seal that shows the crest of the Dales. Mr. Wm. x\rmstrong Crozier, a well known Xew York genealogist and authority on heraldry says this seal shows the crest of the Dales of Northamp- ton and London and gives the reading as following: "On a chapeau gules turned up ermine, a heron argent, beaked, legged and ducally gorged or." The arms are: "Gules on a mount vert, a swan arg. :Membered and ducally gorged or." At a visitation of the heralds from the College of Arms in 161 3 these arms were confirmed to Wm. E>ale, Esq., of Brigstock, North- ampton. He was the third son of Robert Dale, Esq., of Wencle in the county of Chester, whose first and second sons were, Rob- ert, Jr., of Wencle, and Roger of Inner Temple, London. Edward Dale of Virginia was probably a son of one of these.

Major Dale was a '"cavalier" or adherent of King Charles L, as is plainly shown by his epitaph, the fact that he enjoyed numerous political offices under that rank royalist Sir William Berkeley, and the following story of him that has come down through his descendants: The story relates that upon one oc- casion a stranger stopped at ^lajor Dale's house one day just about the dinner hour. His horse was sent to the stable and he was invited to join the family at the dinner just then being served. When they were seated at the table the visitor immediately bowed his head and offered a long puritanical prayer, in which he asked rich blessings upon Oliver Cromwell (who was not then . dead) and especial m.aledictions on the head of the pretender- Charles H. This so incensed Major Dale that he ordered the man from his table, sent a ser\-ant for his horse and told him to hunt his dinner elsewhere, thus in his loyalty to his King transgressing one of the strongest unwrittt-n laws' of the time— the law of hospitality.

A three-quarter length portrait of Edward Dale handed down in the Carter family showed him as a portly brown-eyed gentle- man dressed in black velvet coat, dark red waistcoat, cream col- ored satin breeches and a powdered wig. At the close of the war Its owner, the late Col. Thos. Carter of Kentucky removed to Chicago, where the portrait, with other valuable pictures and heirlooms, was lost in the great fire in that city. A copv is now owned by the author.

Dec. 8, 1674 "Edward Dale of the County of Lancaster in Virg^ gent', as well for and in consideration of a marriage already had and solomonized between Thomas Carter of the same Countv Merch^ of the one parte and Katharine his wife, daughter of mee the aforesaid Edward Dale," etc.. convevs to Thomas and Katharine Carter a plantation of five hundred acres in Lancaster. His wife, Diana Dale, signing the deed relinquishing her dower. On the same day they conveyed to Thomas Carter and wife a negro boy named Dick, a gray mare and two-vear-old colt SIX young cows and their calve^. and half the hogs on the plantation.

March 12, 1677, Edward and Diana Dale deeded to their daughter Elizabeth, "now the wife of Mr. William Rodgers, son of Capt. John Rodgers of the County of Northumberland, a plantation of six hundred acres in Lancaster."

Oct. 7, 1687 Maj. Dale conveyed to "Mr. Thomas Carter and wife, Katharine," in consideration of "love and affection," etc Uvo negro boys named James and Robin; and after the death of -Thomas Carter and his wife, the bov Robin was to go to Dale's grandson, Edward Carter, and the other negro to his other Carter grandchildren.

"Imp^ if it shall please God that my wife shall happen to out- live niee I give imto her for her maintenance during her life the whole proffit of my Estate whatsoever it being had to her as an honest woman a Gentlewoman, and a great many years my wife."' After the death of his wife his daughter Katharine Carter was to have control and use of all his estate until his Carter grandchildren were all of age, when it was to be divided as follows. Grandsons, Peter and Joseph Carter, to have his home plantation in St. Mary's parish with all plantation tools, etc., and a negro man each when they arrived at the ago of twenty- one years. This was about 171 1. as in January, 1712, tliey divided their grandfather Dale's plantation. Granddaughter Elizabeth his best bed and furniture and a trunk. To daughter ElizabetPi r<odgers twelve pounds in full of all claims on his estate. The residue of estate to be divided equally between his grandchildren.

The inventory of his estate was returned to court ]\Iarch 30, 1695. and amounted to ten thousand and six hundred and seven pounds of tobacco. It included besides the usual household and plantation furniture a parcel of books, three pictures, two silver dram cups without handles and a pair of silver tongs. This inventory does not list his books separately, but two of them have been preserved by his descendants, and in one of them is the following:

The above epitaph shows that Edward Dale's wife was Diana Skipwith, daughter of Sir Henry Skipwith of Prestwold, Leices- tershire; and the following letter from her brother Sir Grey Skipwith, substantiates it: "Brother Dale.

Pray do me the favor to acknowledge in court on my behalf two bills of sale for Cattle made to Mary Bayley and this my note shall impower you for the doing of it as full as any letter of attorney.

S"" I have not else only our love presented to y'selfe and my sister.

The above letter is recorded on page 364, Record Book No. 2, Lancaster County, Virginia.

Mr. Austin Skipwith. of Prestwould, ^lecklenburg County, Va., writes me that an old copy of Burke says "that to Sir Henry Skipwith of Prestwould, Leicestershire, was born four sons and two daughters, viz : Grey, William, Henry, Thomas, Elizabeth- and Diana.'' ; but he has no record that will shovv the date of the marriage of Edward and Diana Dale.

With the above conclusive evidence of the parentage of Diana Dale I will give an account of

The Skipwiths.

The Skipwith family is one of the most ancient in England, going back, as it does, to the time of William the Conquerer, and, in fact, through a marriage of one of its members in the sixteenth century, can trace back to the Conqueror himsel't. The following account of this family is taken in the main from Burke's Extinct and Dormant Baronetcies.

This family, originally written Schypwyc, and denominated from a town and lordship so called in the East Riding of York, descends from Robert de Eitoteville, Baron of Cottingham in the time of the Conqueror, of whom and his descendants, the feudal lords of Cottingham. Dugdale treats fully, and at length in his baronage.

GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY 23

The first Robert de Estoteville had a son, Robert, Jr., who acquired a great inheritance with his \vife, Emburga, daughter and heir of Hugh, son of Baldrick, a great Saxon Thane, and among other lands had the lordship of Schypwyc, or Skipwic. He left three sons : Robert, his heir from whom the Lords of Cottingham ; Osmond, who died at Joppa, in Palestine, in one of the Crusades, and was ancestor of the Estotevilles of Gressing Hall ; and Patrick of Skipwith, who having by gift from their father, the lordship of Skipwith, his descendants took their name therefrom, in accordance with the custom of the age. He married Beatrice, daughter of Sir Pagim De Langtun, and was succeeded by his son, Jeffrey De Schypwith, who married Marian, daughter of Wm. De Schypwith, was hostage for the Lord Scales in the Barons' War in the ninth year of the reign of King John. His son and heir, Sir William De Skipwith, Lord of Skipwith in the time of King Henry HL, married a daughter of Sir John Thorp, and heir of Sir Wm. Thorp, through whom he became possessed of a great estate in Lincolnshire. He was the last of the family to reside at Skipwith in York. Their son. Sir John De Skipwith, living at Thorp, was sometimes styled De Thorp. He had the estate of Beakley from his mother and the estate of WVanby by his wife, Isabella, daughter of Sir Robert De Arches, Knight.

He was succeeded by his son, John De Skipwith, who re- sided af Beakley, married Margaret, daughter of Herbert de Klinton of Yorkshire, and was succeeded by his son, William de Skipwith, who married Margaret, daughter of Ralph FitzSimon, Lord of Ormsby in County Lincoln and sister and sole heir of Simon Fitz Ralph, whence came that inheritance which was in the possession of Sir Ralph Fitz Simon, Knight, who in several charters was termed "Nobilis" and had obtained the estate and manor by his wife, daughter and heir of Ormsby of Ormsby. From this marriage of Wm. I>e Skipwith cam.e three sons: John, eldest son, d. s. p., in the tenth year of the reign of Edward HL, the same year in which his father died; Sir Ralph (3rd son), from whom descended the Skipwiths of Heburgh in Lincolnshire; and Sir William, 2nd son, who was bred to

the bar and was King's Sergeant in the thirty-third year of the reign of Edward III., three years later Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, which he held for four years. He married Alice, daughter of Sir \Vm. de Hiltoft, and left Sir William, Sir John, Patrick, Stephen, Alice and Margaret. ^ Sir William, Jr., also bred to the bar, was a justice of the King-'s bench in the fiftieth year of the reign of Edward III., and renewed his patent in the first year of Richard II. Was senior judge of the court, and his name is handed down with highest honor by historians. He left but one daughter and was succeeded by his brother. Sir John Skipwith, who was High Sheriff of Lincoln in the century. Richard II., and a Knight in Parliament from Lincoln in temp. Henry V. He married Alice, daughter of Sir Frederick Tilney, and left three sons: William' d. s. p.. Sir Thomas and Patrick, from whom the Skipwiths of Utterly in Lincolnshire. Sir Thomas Skipwith distinguished hjmself in the French wars and was knighted in Fra^nce by King Henry V. He married Margaret, daughter of John, Lord Willoughby de Eresby, and died before the nineteenth year of the reign of Henry VI., and was succeeded by his son. Sir Wm. Skipwith, Avho owned twelve different estates in the counties of York and Lincoln. Like his father he was knighted in France by Henry VI., and was sheriff of Lincoln in the thirtv-seventh year of that King's reign. He then married Agnes, daughter of Sir John Constable, Knight of Burton-Constable, and had John and Alice, and died in the first year of the reign of Henry VII. Sir John Skipwith was made a Knight Banneret for his services against the Cornish rebels, being with the King at the battle of Blackheath. He married Catharine, daughter of Richard Fitz William, Esq., of Woodworth, and had Sir William and four daughters.

Sir William Skipwith, Knight, was sheriff of Lincoln in the eighteenth year of the reign of Henry VIII. He married Eliza- beth, daughter of Sir W^m. Tyrwhit, Knight, of Kettlebv. and had Sir William, Lionel, John, George and four daughters." This wife died and Sir William then married Alice, daughter and heir of Sir Lionel Dymoke of Scrivelsby, by whom he acquired

gexe:4Logy of the carter family 25

a large estate. By this second marriage there was issue but one child, Henry Skipwith, who became the ancestor of the Skipwiths of Prestwould, Leicestershire, and of the Skipwiths and Dales of Virginia. It is through this Dymoke ancestress that the Skipwiths of Prestwould trace back to King Henry HI., which will be given later.

Henry Skipwith, Esq., only son of Sir William Skipwith of Ormsby, and his second wife purchased the estate of Prestwould, in Leicestershire. He married Jane, daughter of Francis Hall of Grantham, and died in 1588: was succeeded by his eldest son, Henry Skipwith, who was created the first baronet of Prest- would, December 20, 1622. He married Amy, daughter and co-heir of Sir Thomas Kempe, Knight, by whom he had four sons and two daughters, viz, Sir Henry, d. s. p.; Sir Grey, removed to Virginia during the usurption of Cromwell, etc. ; William, Thomas, Elizabeth, and Diana, who married Edward Dale and removed to Virginia.

Sir Henry Skipwith, the first baronet of Prestwould, father of Diana Dale, was a poet and man of letters, and is spoken of by Barton in 1622 as follows: "Sir Henry Skipwith, I cannot pass over in silence, for his so many good parts — his person, his valour, his learning, his judgment and wisdom do challenge more than I can express among the rest, yet I cannot omit to speak of his witty conceits in making fit and acute epigrams, poems, mottoes and devices."' Sir Henry was commissioned by King Charles 1. to raise troops against the Parliament forces under Cromwell, which like to have cost him his life, and com.- pelled his son. Sir Grey, to seek refuge in Virginia. This is set forth on the tombstone of Sir Wm. Skipwith, now in the church- yard at Blandford, Va. In 1653 Sir Henry Skipwith sold Prest- would to Sir Christopher Packe, Lord Mayor of London in 1655 and an adherent of Cromwell. It is thought that Sir Henry was compelled to sell his estate to Sir Christopher Packe by Cromwell and his party in order to save himself from a worse fate because of his adherence to the royalist party.

Accounts of the Skipwith family in Virginia have appeared in print several times, a most excellent one by Mrs. Sally Nelson

Dymoke.

Sir William Skipwith. Knight, sheriff of Lincolnshire, in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Henry VIII. married, as his second wife, Alice, daughter and heir of Sir Lionel Dymoke of Scrivelsby and had an only son, Henry Skipwith, Esq., of Preswould, Leicestershire. He died in 1588 and was succeeded by his only son, Henry Skipwith, who was created baronet of Preswould in 1622. His youngest daughter, Diana, was the wife of Maj. Edward Dale, of Lancaster county, Va., and mother of Katharine Dale, wife of Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr.

It is through the Dymoke ancestress that the Skipwiths and Carters derive their "royal lineage'' and trace back to King Henry III. Besides his high estate and royal power, Henry III. possessed not a noble characteristic, nevertheless through him comes royal blood that is royal in the persons of Henry II., William "The Conqueror," and other early English, Scotch and French monarchs.

Henry III.'s wife was Eleanor of Provence. Their son. Henry Plantaganet, Earl of Leicester, married Blanche, daughter of Robert, Earl of Artois, and granddaughter of Louis VIII. o^ France. They had a son. Henry, Earl of Leicester, who married Lady Maud, daughter of Patrick, third Baron de Mowbray. Their son, John de Mowbray, married Elizabeth, the only child of John, Lord Segrave, and had a daughter, Margery de Mow- bray, who married John. Baron de Welles, and had a son, Eudo de Welles, who married Lady ]Maud, daughter of a Baron de Greystock. They had a son, Sir Lionel de Welles, who married Joan, daughter of Sir Robert Waterton, and had a daughter, Margaret de Welles, who married Sir Thomas Dymoke. They were the parents of Sir Lionel Dymoke, who married Joan, daughter of Richard Griffith of Stockford, and had a daughter, Alice, who married Sir V/illiam Skipwith of Ormsby : and rhus comes the royal blood of the Skipwiths and Carters.

Through Matilda of Flanders, wife of William "Tlie Con-

queror," the Dymoke line of descent extends back through the Counts of Flanders to Baldwin I., Count of Flanders, who married Judith, daughter of Charles II., "The Bald," King and Roman Emperor, who was a grandson of Charlemagne, one of the world's greatest rulers. Through the wife of Henry I. of England, Margaret, daughter of Malcolm III., King of Scotland, and his wife, the Saxon Princess Margaret, called "Saint Margaret," the Dymoke line extends back through the Kings of Scotland and early English Kings to the good King z\lfred "The Great." Through the de Mowbrays the Dymokes trace back to Phillip II. of Swabia, German Roman Emperor, and from, him through a line of German Emperors back to Charlemagne again, includ- ing in the line the greatest among the German Roman Em-peror?. Frederick I., "Barbarosa." elected Emperor in 1152; Henry III., "Niger" ; the two great Ottos and others.

With the above outline as a base, those who mxay wish to do so, can trace out the various lines and find enough noble and royal ancestors to "fill a book."

Aside from their royal and illustrious ancestry, the history of the Dymoke family is full of interest, as for a thousand years they have held one of the most picturesque and historic of the hereditary offices to be found in England, that of Champion to the King on his coronation. The office of Champion was in- stituted by William "The Conqueror," who entrusted it to Robert de Marmion, conferring upon him at the same time the Castle of Tamworth and the Manor of Scrivelsby, in Lincolnshire, de- creeing that the office should always pertain to the Lord of the Manor of Scrivelsby.

Though in the past hundred years the appearance of the Cham- pion as a part of the coronation ceremonies has become obsolete, in the days of long ago none, perhaps, of all the splendid and picturesque ceremonies held in connection with the coronation pageant of the Kings and Queens of England was more inter- esting, and certainly none pertook m.ore of chivalry than that of the Champion's challenge.

In ancient times as soon as the King and Queen were crowned they sat down to the royal banquet, spread in We;tmin;ter, and

28 GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

during the course of this the great doors of the Abbey were thrown open and the Champion appeared on a magnificient charger, both clad from head to foot in armor, and at two or three stations in the great hall, he loudly challenged all comers to deny the right and title of the sovereign, and, throwing his gauntlet upon the floor, offered to defend their claims against any one with lance, sword or mace. The King then drank from a golden goblet, which was refilled and presented to the Cham- pion, who drained it and carried the goblet away as a perquisite of his office. Descriptions of several of these ceremonies have been preserved, but I will give here only the first and last. Some of the perquisites of the champion by prescriptive right were :

"One of the King's best coursers, the second best in the royal stable, with saddle, harness and trappings of cloth of gold ; one of the King's best suits of armour, with cases of cloth of gold, and all other things belonging to the King's body v,hen he goes into mortal combat." Historians have enumerated the arms provided for Sir Charles Dymoke, Royal Champion at the Coro- nation of King James II. in 1685, as follows: "A complete suit of white armour, a pair of gauntlets, a sword and hanger, a case of rich pistols, an oval shield with the Champion's arms painted upon it and a gilded lance fringed about the handle ; also a field saddle of crimson velvet with gold and silver, a plume of red, w^ite and blue feathers, consisting of eighteen falls and a heron's top. Another plume for the horses head and trumpet banners with the champion's own arms depicted upon them."

The first appearance of the King's Champion in England, of which we have knowledge was at the coronation of William, Duke of Xormandy, and his wife. Matilda of Flanders, as King and Queen of England, 1068 A. D., at Winchester. The challenge was delivered upon this occasion by Robert, Lord Marmyum in the following words: "If any person deny that our most gracious sovereigns. Lord William and his spouse, Matilcla, are King and Queen of England, he is a falsehearted traitor and liar, and I, as Champion, do challenge him to single combat."

Robert Marmvum, Lord of Castle Fontenav in Xormandv, and

GENEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 29

a descendant of "Rollo the Dane/' who was made Dtike of Normandy by Charles III. of France, was in Normandy the hereditary Champion of Duke WilHam of Normandy, his kins- man, later ""Winiam the Conqueror," and thus the office was car- ried into England.

The la?t official appearance was at the coronation of King George I\'.. July 19, 1821. Since then the coronation banquet has been abolished and with it the public appearance of the Champion. King Edward VII. changed the office from that of hereditary Champion, to hereditary Bearer of the Royal Standard. When this change was made, Frank Dymoke, Esq., of Scrivelsby pre- sented to the King a suit of armor that for centuries has been used at the coronation of English Kings, w^hich is now preserved at Winsor Castle. The banquet scene at the coronation of King George IV. is thus described :

"Westminster, the scene of this magnificent pageant, which was one of the most memorable and splendid coronations ever held there, was a spectacle which beggars description. The in- termixture of waving plumes, glittering jewels and beautiful costumes of the assembled multitude, the magnificent coronation robes of the nobles, and in some instances the grotesque, though splendid dresses of those who were to form part of the grand procession, excited wonder and admiration and gave a singu- larly striking appearance to the scene.

'•'As soon as the procession, which moved upon the royal blue cloth, spread from the throne in Westminster Hall to the great steps in the Abbey Church, where the coronation was to take place, had left the hall, the scene was immediately changed, when the floor, which only a few moments before had been thronged with by far the greater portion of the nobles of the land in all their pomp and splendor, was now taken possession of by workmen and w*ho transformed the hall as if by magic into a great banquet hall. On each side of the throne, sideboards were erected, which were quickly loaded with massive gold plate, and the great tables down each side of the hall were spread with covers for 334. The royal table had covers for seven and displayed a magnificent service of gold. Just before the return of the

30

GEX'ETiLOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY

coronation procession to the banquet hall, the 26 great chandeliers and twelve beautiful candelabras on the tables, making upwards of 2,000 candles were lighted.

•'Before the first course, which was served in twenty-four gold- covered dishes, carried by many gentlemen pensioners, preceded by a large number of attendants representing all the officers of the household and four sergeants-at-arms, was placed upon the royal table by the clerks of the kitchen, the great doors at the lower end of the hall were thrown open to the sound of trumpets and clarions, and the Duke of Wellington, as Lord High Constable; the Marquis of Anglesea, as Lord High Steward, and Lord Effing- ham, as the Deputy Earl Marshall, entered upon the floor, mounted upon richly caparisoned horses. The Duke of Wellington was on the right and the Earl Marshall on the left, on beautiful white steeds, and the Marquis of Anglesea in the center on a magnificent dun-colored Arabian. Each was followed by a groom and at theliead of each horse walked a page.

"Pausing for a moment under the archway as the trumpet sounded, they proceeded slowly down the aisle between the tables to the foot of the throne, where they remained while the twenty- four golden dishes were being placed upon the table. As the gentlemen pensioners delivered the dishes to the attendants they retired one by one backward between the horses and were fol- lowed by the three noblemen, who backed their steeds with great skill down the center of the hall.

"The first course having been removed, the attention of the assemblage was called to the bottom of the hall once more by a loud and continued flourish of trumpets. The great doors were instantly thrown open, and the King's Champion made his ap- pearance under the Gothic archway, mounted on a splendid charger. He was accompanied on the right by the Duke of Wel- lington, and on the left by Lord Howard, but his polished steel armor, his plumes and the trappings of his steed instantly pro- claimed the capacity in which he appeared. He was ushered within the limits of the hall by two trumpeters with the arms of the Champion on their banners, and by the sergeant trumpeter, and by two sergeant-at-arms with maces. An esquire in half

GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY .j

armour was on either side, the one bearing the lance and the other the shield. Each horseman was followed by a groom and at the head of each was a page.

"The first challenge was given at the entrance to the hall, the trumpets having flourished three times. It was read by the herald attending the Champion: 'If anv person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Sovereign Lord King George IX . of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and next heir to our Soverei,gn Lord Kmg George III., the last King deceased, to be the right heir to the Imperial crown of this United Kingdom, or that^he ought not to enjoy the same, here is his champion, who sairh that he lieth, and is a false traitor, being ready in person to combat with him, and in the quarrel will adventure his life against him on what day soever he shall be appointed.' After pausing a few seconds the Champion drew off his gauntlet and thr'ew It upon the floor. As no one appeared to accept the challenc^e the herald took up the glove and returned it to the Champion' The cavalcade then advanced half wav up the hall, where it again halted, and after the trumpets sounded, the same chal- lenge was given as before.

At the foot of the throne the service was again repeated. Loud shouts of "Long live the King"! followed each restoration of the gauntlet. His Majesty, taking the golden goblet from his cup- bearer drank to the bold challenge, then the Champion received the cup and drank to the King— "Long live His Majestv, King George the Fourth." After draining the cup the Champion gave It to one of the pages, who bore it away as a perquisite of his master."

At the coronation of King George II., when the Champion, Lewis Dymoke, threw down his gauntlet, an unknown man leapt from the crowd and seized it. A rush was made for him bv the ^ergeants-at-arms, but the crowd, largelv composed of Jacobite sympathizers, opened a lane for his escape.

The last of the Marmions was Sir Philip, a statesman, who

12 GEXE^TLOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY

died in the rei^i of Henry III., leaving but two daughters, the eldest of whom inherited Tanuvortli Castle in Warwickshire' and became the ancestress of the Grevilles, the other inherited Scriv- elsly and became the ancestress of the Dy mokes. For some time the tenure of the Royal Championsiiip was in doubt, but the Court of Claims decided in accordance with the original grant to Lord Robert de ^larmyum, that the office of Champion belonged to the owner of Scrivelsby. and accordingly Sir John Dymoke. the grand- son of Sir Philip .Marmion, was the Champion at'tlie coronation of Richard II. Sir Robert Dymoke was the Champion to three of England's rulers, Richard III., Henry VII. and Henry VIU. Sir Edward Dymoke was also Champion for three of his sover- eigns, Edv.-ard VI., and Queens Mary and Elizabeth.

Sir Edward D}Tnoke's wife was Lady Ann Talbois, whose ancestry was equally as illustrious as his own, she being a lineal descendant of King Edward I. of England bv his first wife, Princess Eleanor of Castile, daughter of Ferdinand III. of Castile, by his second wife Johanna daughter of Louis VII. of France, thus giving her a long line of Spanish and French royal ancestry. Lady Ann was descended from two of the children of Edward I. of England, namely, Edward II. and his sister. Joan de Acre, who married Gilbert, ''the Red" Earl of Clare.' who was the seventh Earl of Hertford and the third Earl of Gloucester. She was descended from fourteen generations of Percy ancestors, the Earls of Northumberland, one of the greatest among the great baronial families of England. A warlike race, brave and loyal, though hot of temper, and ever to the forefront in contests of their time. The Percy was to England what the Douglas was to Scotland. One of these Percy ancestors wa. the famous Sir Henry Percy, the "Hotspur" of history, of whom It was said that "no other was ever more bold or brave" ; when Henry IV. made unjust demands of him for certain prisoners in his charge. Shakespeare thus voices his reply:

"An*, if the devil came and roar for them. I will not send them: I will after straight And tell him so; for I '.vill ease my heart Albeit I make a hazard of my head."

I The office of the King's Champion was in its very essence one of

I romance and chivalry, and its influence is shown in some of

I England's most delightful literature. In Ivanhoe there are a

I number of references to the knightly service of the champion;

I in Redgaiintlet the champion appears in person, and in Marmion

{Lord Robert was to some extent the original of the picture drawn, and Tamwtjfth Castle, his home, is frequently mentioned. I Scrivelsby Manor is one of the most unique establishments in

I England, situated in an extensive park, in one of the most beautiful

sections of Lincolnshire. The entrance to the park is through a great old gray stone arch overgrown with ivy, and surmounted by the life-size figure of a lion, standing out in bold relief against the vivid green of the summer foliage or the soft dull gray of a winter sky. The lion is one of the crests of the Dymokes, and their arms show two lions passant upon a field of black, and the motto "Pro Rege Dimico."

This quaint old manor of Scrivelsby has been immortalized by Lord Tennyson in his Locksley Hall Sixty Years After, and Lady Clare de Vere. Somersby, the childhood home of Tennyson, is but seven miles from Scrivelsby, and it has been said that the "stately park of the latter, with its wide stretching woods and meadows, was frequently the chosen scene of his rambles," and many times must he have passed through the great Lion Gateway :

"Here is Locksley Hall, my grandson, here the Lion-guarded gate.

There is one old Hostel left us when

they swing the Locksley shield. Till the peasant cow shall butt the Lion

passant from the field."

There is the life-sized figure of a cow in the park at Scrivelsby.

The Dymokes were also descended from Robert de Vere, Earl of Oxford, and were very proud of their many coats of arms and Norman blood.

In addition to the descendants of Diana Skipwith Dale through her daughters, Cartharine Carter and Elizabeth Rogers, the Dymoke blood is represented in \'irginia through the descendants of Col. George Reade, who was the grandson of Sir Thomas Windebanke and wife. Frances Dymoke.

Colonel Reade was Secretary of \'irginia, acting Governor in 1638, etc.: from him are descended the Nelsons. \\'arners. Wash- ingtons, Lewises and other well known \'irginia families.

Descendants of Edward Carter

Edward Carter, eldest son of Captain Thomas and Katharine Dale Carter born April 9, 1671. died in 1743, intestate. Son Thomas administrator. Inventory mentions only furniture for room and a parcel of books. He probably divided his estate before he died and lived with his son. In 1694 he was an e.xecutor of his grandfather Dale; appeared in tax list for 1696 When he paid for two persons. June 24, 1703. "Edward Carter of ye p'sh of Christ Church, in ye county of Lancaster, Gent." gave an indemnifying bond of t'500 sterling to brothers Thomas. Henry and John guaranteeing title of land left them by their father, "Thomas Carter late of this County Gent., dec'd." March 2, 1716, "Edward Carter of Christ Church psh gent" and wife Eliza- beth sold land to John Rhodes. August 10. 1719, a negro boy, son of a free negro woman, was bound to '"Mr. Edward Carter" until he was of age, who. in addition to suitable maintenance in his service, was "to cause him to be taught to read and write." In 172 1 he witnessed the will of brother Peter, and in 1733 that of brother Henry. Xo other mention of him in the Lancaster records.

The Carter Prayer Book shows the following:

"Edward Carter of y^ co^*' of Lanes*" & Eliz'' Thornton Dau : to M'. W-". Thornton of y^ Co*^ of Gloucs"" was mar** 3*^ June 1697. It being a Thursday."

This was probably Elizabeth Thornton, daughter of William Thornton, Jr.. of Petsworth parish, Gloucester, born August 26, 1672.

Thorntox Excursus.

\Vm. Thornton, Jr.. born Mar. 27, 1649, died Feb. 15, 1727. was a ves- tryman of Petswortli. Gloucester County, and owned a good deal of land in that parish. He was married three times, but his Bible while giving the date of his marriages and the names and dates of birth of his fifteen children does not give names of his wives. Elizabeth Thornton Carter being the eldest child, a- his first marriage took place Aug. 24. 1671.

GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 39

\Vm. Thornton, Sr., is supposed to have been the emigrant ancestor of this the largest and most prominent family of this name in Virginia. He is supposed to have come from Yorkshire, and appears first in York Co.. Va.. records May 11, 1646. He settled in Petsworth parish. Gloucester, and was a vestr\-man in 1677. He had several grants of land in Glou- cester and other counties along the Rappahannock, and in his old age removed to Stacord County, where he died after 1708. He had sons, Wil- liam, who remained in Gloucester, and Francis and Rowland, who removed to the Rappahannock lands in Richmond and Essex Counties. They were men of wealth and social prominence, and have many distinguished de- scendants, who have intermarried with the Pressleys, Fitzhughs, Gregorys. Washingtons, and other well-known families; and have left behind them several fine old homes, which in their day have been noted for elegant cul- ture and lavish hospitality. See William and Mary Quarterly, Vols. HI., IV., v., and VI.

Edward and Elizabeth Thornton Carter had issue as follows: Margaret, born June i, 1698; Katharine and Tlioiiias (twins), February i, 1699/1700 — really 1700; Judith, June 22, 1702: all in "Gloucester att ^^. \\m. Thorntons." Edward. August. 1704; EIizab<;th, May 8, 1706; "in Lancaster to this time." There may have been others born subsequently and not recorded in the old Prayer Book.

Thomas Carter of Lancaster.

It is through his eldest son, Thomas Carter, born February i, 1700, died December 3, 1776. that the descendants of Edward Carter are traced down to the present time. He probably owned his father's home-place on Corotoman River, as his home adjoined those of Dale Carter, his cousin, and of Col. James Gordon, in whose interesting diary, Thomas Carter is mentioned as follows :

1795-

"Jan. 6. I went with Capt. Fouchee to Thomas Carter's to see about his son's board. Rained all day."

"Jan. 9. Received a letter from Col. Conway and one to Nancy upon religion, but in my opinion very little to the purpo'-e. Thomas Carter rec'd one which displeased him very much. Col.

40 GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY

Conway seems so great a bigot that people who are rehgiously incHned dispise his advice."

"Aug. lo. Went to Col. Conway's in order to make friends with him about the letters he has lately rec'd from Thomas Carter, or in his name — which I performed with much difficulty. The old gentleman was in a great rage at first."

"Oct. 22. Col. Conway has begun to write to Thomas Carter, which surprises us all, after his promise to have done with such writings.''

"Nov. 30. Thomas Carter here and several of the neighbors."

1761.

"Aug. 10. I went for some of the neighbors, viz : Dale and Thomas Carter, John Mitchell, etc.,"' about getting a new minister.

"Dec. 26. Sent for several of the neighbors to dine with us — Col. Taloe, Mr. Dale Carter, Thomas Carter and many of the girls of the neighborhood. All very agreable."

1762.

"April 29, We went to Mr. Thomas Carter's to Mrs. Whale's funeral, where Mr. Waddel preached an excellent sermon to a large number of people, who seemed well pleased."

Note. — Mrs. Whale was probably the mother of Thomas Carter's second wife, who was Anne IVale, before her first marriage.

1763.

"Feb. 13. Mr. Waddel proposed ten persons for elders — Col. Selden, Dr. Robertson, Mr. Chichester, Dr. Watson, Mr. Thomas Carter, Mr. Dale Carter, Mr. John Mitdhell, Mr. Belvard, Mr. Wright and myself."

"Aug. 14. Told Mr. Criswell that his difiference with Mr. W. has m.ade it disagreeable at his boarding longer at our house, so he and his wife went to Thomas Carter's."

Note. — Mr. Criswell v.as the minister of the Episcopal church, and Mr. Waddel was the famous Presbyterian minister of that day.

ing house to meet :Mr. Waddell and Mr.Criswell, who appointed this day to talk over their differences before Mr. Thomas Carter and Col. Selden. After much debate they agreed to be friends."

"Sept. 13. This day our son Nathaniel was baptized by Mr. Wadell. No company but Mr. Chichester and Xancy, Molly Chi- chester with :Mr. Carter and their girls.''

In 1745 and '46 Thomas Carter was a member of the vestry of Christ Church as shown by the old vestry book. He seem.s later to have gone to the Presbyterians as in 1763 his name was one of ten proposed as elders in that church. In 1747 and 1752 his name appears in a poll of freeholders of Lancaster, when he voted for Col. Edwin Conway and Capt. \Vm. Tayloe for burgesses.

Thomas Carter was married twice, but the date of the nrst marriage and the name of his wife have not been preserved. The second marriage took place Jan. 15, 1750, to Mrs. Anne Hunton, nee Wale, widow of Thomas Hunton, whom she had married on Nov. 15, 1737, and by whom she had at least one daughter, Anne Hunton, who was mentioned in Thomas Car- ter's will.

Thomas Carter had issue by his first wife sLx sons and six daughters :

1. Edward Carter, died in Lancaster in 1781.

2. John Carter, died in Lancaster in 1782.

3. George Carter, died in Halifax about i785-'86.

4. Thomas Carter, living in Lancaster in 1785.

5. James Carter, probably a cripple, as he was left to the care of his brother Edward for the remainder of his life.

6. Raleigh Carter, youngest son, died in Nottoway between 1815 and 1820.

2. JoHx Carter (Thos.', Edward', Thos.') owned a good plantation of about four hundred acres near Corotoman River, in Christ Church parish. In my incomplete genealogy of the Carters, published in the IViUiaui and Mary Quarterly, I gave this John Carter as the son of Daniel (died 1759) and grandson of Captain Thomas, Jr., but the Ca'-tcr Mss., 1858, shows that I was mistaken and he was a^lson of Edward Carter. The Carter Mss. says of him: "John Vv-as married twice. First to a Miss Spencer, daughter of Edward Spencer, of Richmond county, and lastly to a widow Pollard, who bore him no children. By the first wife he had Spencer, Thomas and Lucy, who married Tapscott Oliver, of Northumberland county, and has grand- children living there now. Tom went to Culpeper and married a Miss Gaines and had a big family. Spencer I remember very well. He married a Miss Hayney and had sons, Spencer, John, Rawley and Hayney, about my age, and daughters, Lucy and Winny. I was at the infair at his second wedding when he mar- ried the widow of George Conway."

Spencer Excursus.

There was a very prominent family of Spencer in the Northern Neck, which was connected with the well-known families of Ball, Roane, and other F. F. V.'s of that part of Virginia. This family sprung from Nich- olas Spencer of Westmoreland, a member of an ancient Bedfordshire family, and one of the most prominent m.en of the last half of the 17th cen- tury in Vrginia. See Virginia Historical Magazine, Vols. II. and IV., and William and Mary Quarterly, Vols- VI. and XVII.

So far as is known there is nothing that will connect Edward Spencer of Richmond County with Col. Nicholas, except that they lived in the s.Tme section of the country^ and that Coi. Nicolas had descendants of whom we have no data. Little is known of Edward Spencer. In 1718 Stanley Gower of Richmond County mentioned him as his "son-in-law" in his will; but from the wording, and from the custom of that day, it is

46 GEX'EALOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

th'jght that Spencer was a stepson of Gower and not his son-in-law as we now use the word. The old Farnham register says that Edward, son of Edward and Winifred Spencer was born Nov. 20, 1710. It may give ether Spencer data, but I did not know of this Carter-Spencer connec- tion when I examined the old register at the courthouse. The published extracts from the register and the county records show that the Gowers were people of means and intermarried with well-known Richmond County families. It is probable that John Carter's wife was a daughter of Edward Spencer, Jr.. as they were married in 1749, when Edward, Jr., was 39 jears old. and that was a day of early marriages-

A deed in 1757 shows that John Carter's second wife was Mary, the "widow of Mr. Thomas Pollard." In her will, dated February 10, 1792, she left all her property to her sons and daughters, Thomas and James Pollard, and Mrs. Ixlary Pollard James, children of her first husband.

March 25, 1783, the personal estate of John Carter, deceased, was appraised and divided between his widow, Mary Carter, and sons, Spencer and Thomas, and daughter, Lucy, wife of Tapscott Oliver. It amounted to f237.6s.6d. and included a good lot of furniture contained in the following rooms: "The hall, chamber, upstairs, the red room, the kitchen and cellar." It mentions a china punch bowl, a Delf punch bowl, a great Bible, two sermon books, a hymn book and a parcel of old books — rather a close mixture of punch and religion. The negroes were: Mima, Winney (these came to John Carter from his father, Thomas Carter, and are named in the latter's will), Mildred, Lucy and Jonathon. John Carter had given each of his three children two negroes four or five years earlier, probably tiegroes that had come to him in the estate of his first wife.

John Carter and his first wife, Miss Spencer, had issue:

13. Spencer Carter, born 1750, died after i8cx).

14. Thomas Carter, born 1752, died in 18 13-17.

15. Lucy Carter, born 1754, married circa 1775 Tapscott Oliver, of Northumberland county, and had three children in 1783. The Tapscotts and Olivers were well connected familie.s and people of means ; several families of the Tapscotts in Lan- caster owned large plantations and from nine to thirty-two seT^'ants each.

GEXEALOCY OF THE CARTER FAMILY 47

13. Spencer Carter, born in 1750 (Hayden), married circa 1775-76 a Miss Hayney, and in 1782 was living in Westmore- land county, where he appeared in a list of slave owners a^ possessed of three servants. After the death of his father he purchased thg home plantation in Lancaster from the other heirs, and was living there in 1785, the head of a family of seven. According to the Carter Mss. he had issue by this mar- riage sons, Spencer, Jr.. John, Raleigh and Haynie. and daughters' Lucy and Winifred.

December 29. 1792. Spencer Carter was married to INIrs. Anne Conway, born September 20, 1748. widow of George Conway, and daugliter of Travers Downman and his wife, Grace Ball, daughter of Captain George and Grace Waddy Ball, of Wi- comico, Northumberland county. Captain George Ball was a son of Captain Wm. Ball, Jr., and grandson of Captain Wm. Ball, the emigrant to Lancaster. See Hayden s Virginia Genea- logies. She had a daughter, Grace Conway, who married John Carter, son of Henry Carter. Spencer and Anne Downman Carter probably had no issue.

No further record of Spencer Carter's descendants.

14. Thom.xs Carter, born 1754, in Lancaster, died in 1813 in Culpeper, where he married circa 1776-77, Sussannah, daughter of Francis and Dorothy Gaines.

Gaines E.xcursus.

The Gaines family is one of the earliest in Virginia, and prior to the Revolution was scattered in several Tidewater and Piedmont counties, where they were people of means and good connections. The necessary- data for a connected sketch of them is not at hand.

There settled in Accomac County, James Gaines in 1620, and Edward Gaines, aged 3c, in 1634. Doubtless they were the ancestors of the Vir- ginia Gaines family. In 1658, '61 and '63, Daniel, Robert, Thomas, and James Gaines had large grants of land in Rappahannock County. They may have been brothers and sons of one of the Accomac settlers-

The family of interest here seems to have come from, a Gloucester County branch. The Abingdon register gives the following: Francis (later of Culpeper), son of Francis and Sarah Gaines, baptied Feb. 9, 17-28: Elizabeth, daughter of Francis and Sarah, born May 28, 1731; ^lary, born .Aug. 19, 1733; Sarah, wife of Mr. Francis Gaines, was buried Oct. ye 13. 1736. John Perrins. -on of Mrs. Sarah Gaines, died Mar. 14,

48 GEXEALOGY OF THE CARTER FA^nLY

1733. This shows that Mrs. Gaines had married first a Mr. Perrins After the death of his wife Sarah, Francis Gaines, Sr., married again and removed to King and Queen County, where he died in 1774, leaving wife Betty and the following children: Francis, Jr., of Culpeper; Elizabeth- Mary married a Mr. Spencer; Catharine married Chas. Collier; Hannah? Anne; Patty; Thomas; Henry. The latter was a major in the militia. and left sons Harry of "Providence," \Vm. F. of "Greenway" (in King William), and Robert of "White House,"' all of whom have prominent descendants in King and Queen and King William Counties.

Francis Gaines (Jr.) of St. Mark's parish, Culpeper, made his will Sept. 25, 1775, prob. July 15. 1776. Left land and personal estate, in- eluding 12 negroes, to amountii2o8. 7s. gd- to wife Dorothy for the reiit of her life, after v,-hich son James was to have the real estate, and the rest of the property to all children : James. Lucy, Sally, Betty, Dorothy, Anne, and Susannah Gaines. Daughters to each have a horse and saddle after his death. -3132 to Isabella, daughter of nephew Henry Gaines. She was probably the daughter of Wm. Henry Gaines who married Isabella Pendleton, sister of the great jurist, Edmund Pendleton. The will of Mrs. Dorothy Gaines, prob. June 19, 1786. divided her personal property between her daughters Susannah Carter, Anne Martin, and Dorothy and Betty Gaines, and granddaughter Elizabeth Carter. Desired that her son- in-law, Thomas Carter, continue in the management of her plantation ana negroes until the end of the year.

See Greene's Hist, of Culpeper, Bagby's Hist, of King and Queen, Abingdon Register, and Culpeper records.

Thomas Carter owned 237 acres of land that he probably pur- chased when he settled in Culpeper, which he sold Augu>t 8, 1807, to Wm. Gore. March 30. 1797, he purchased a 402-acre plantation from Jos. Strother for £1500.

An old index volume shows that Thomas Carter's will was recorded in a will book (now missing) for the period of 1813-17. A summing up of his personal estate in June, 1817, shows that it amounted to $2,687.50, and among other things mentioned a silver watch, a parcel of silver buckles, books, pair of money scales, etc. The will of Mrs. Susannah Carter, proh. June 19, 1820, divided her property between her seven sons ; Thomas Spencer, James S., William, Landon, Abner, Robert P. and Joseph. She does not mention her daughter, Elizabeth, who married Abiah Guinn, January 2, 1806.

Thomas Carter is said to have served in the Revolution, and

GEXEALOGV OF THE CARTER FAMILY 49

the records show the service of several Thomas Carters from Virginia, one of whom may have been' Thomas, of Culpeper. Thomas and Susannah Gaines Carter had issue:

16. Thomas Spencer Carter, born circa 1778. removed to FrankHn county, Ky.

17. James S. (Stephen?) Carter, born circa 1780, living in Culpeper in 1832.

Spicer and wife, Jane, of Franklin county, Ky. — the said Nancy Carter and Jane Spicer being daughters of Thomas S. and Margaret Carter, now both dead, and the said Margaret Carter being a daughter of Isaac and Susan Green, dec'd, late of Culpeper county. \'a.— appointed Robert ^vlartin, of Grant county, Ky., their^ attorney to recover their share of the Green estate in \ irgmia. Their descendants doubtless are now living in Frank- lin county, Ky.

50 GEN'E'TLOGY OF THE CARTER FAMILY

17. James S. Carter, and wife, Susan, sold to D. John Bailes, on September 10, 182 1, land left Janres S. Carter by his father, Thomas Carter. April 16, 1832, James Carter, of Cuipeper, purchased from Abner Carter, of Loudon county, a house and lot in the village of Flint Hill, Cuipeper county. No other data of James Carter or his descendants.

18. WiLLi.\M Carter, born in >.Iarch, 1782, was married in Cuipeper county, Va., September 13, 18 13. to Keziah Tanne- hill, daughter of !Martha Tannehill, whose will was probated March 19, 1821, and mentions sons, William and George, and daughters, Xancy, Keziah, wife of Wm. Carter; Elizabeth, wife of Lewis Moore, Mariann. wife of Baker, and a daughter, the wife of Anson Dearing.

Keziath T. Carter was born in September 1792, and she and her husband, Wm. Carter, lost tlieir lives when their residence in Bedford county, Tenn., was burned in 1837.

September 8, 18 17, William and Keziah Carter, of Cuipeper, sold to Richard Jackson for S3. 500, half of a tract of 256 acres of land left to William Carter by his father, Thomas Carter. October 18, 1826, they made a deed to Susannah Carter for half of a lot in the town of Washington, Cuipeper county, and probably about this time removed from the county.

They lived for a year or two in Halifax county, Va., and then removed to Bedford county. Tenn., where they died. The records of this county were also destroyed by lire, so that no data can be found of them.

A grandson of William and Keziah Carter, Mr. Abb Landis, of Nashville, says they had issue eight children, as follows: James, Charles, John, Martha. Susan. Mary, Sarah and Xancy, ^Ir. Landis' mother,

Xancy Carter, born in March 1827, died February 5. 1901 ; married on June 27, 1843, Absalom L. Landis, born August 31, 1823, died June 6, 1896. They had issue:
