Biography
Private Landon Carter served with Virginia Line during the American Revolution.
Private Landon Carter was born circa 1758, in Carolina county, Virginia and enlisted during the American Revolutionary War, in Captain Haw's company, under the command of Colonel Spotswood, of the 2nd Virginia Continental Line. [1] Landon is honored for his military service by the Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, as DAR Ancestor #A094839. [2] DAR records indicate that Landon died September 5, 1838, in Stokes county, North Carolina and that his wife's name was Mary. (no maiden name given). Applications for membership in the Society of the DAR have been made by the descendants of their son, James Carter, who married Elizabeth Webster; and of Mary "Polly" Carter, who married Joshua Southern. [2]
On March 22, 1782, in Amherst county, Virginia, Landon married Mary Goodrich, a daughter of James Goodrich and Margaret Vawter. Landon and his family moved to Stokes county, North Carolina before 1800, with the Webster, Walker and other families. Landon is buried in the Webster Family Cemetery, in Rockingham county, North Carolina. [3]
Researchers Notes
From his Find A Grave memorial"
- "The Will of Martha Hudson, Amherst county Daughter of John Hudson & Martha Goode names Landon Carter and his son James as heirs. Martha’s sister was Mary Hudson who married Griffin Carter and probably mother of Landon Carter. They all lived in Caroline County Virginia and removed to Amherst County Virginia with Goodrich family."
Also, John's Find A Grave memorial is connected to that of Edward Ware as his father. This was probably a typographical error while added a parent using a memorial number. If I find the correct memorial number for his father, I will send a correction to F.A.G. jg
Landon was born in 1757. He passed away in 1838.

The dates coincidence is very high suggestion of a match, so perhaps the parents are incorrectly attributed but the match remains?
b. 1717-00-00 d. 1810-00-00 YDNA testing of a male Carter in the line suggests that father of Landon Carter b 1757 may be a Ware.

Is this just incorrect parental attribution discovered through DNA because unless that person is tested, we can't verify, and have to go back to church records, no matter how wrong they may appear to be. Simply remove the father or Mark as adopted perhaps fir now, as we can't be sure what actually occurred. I know of one dubious attribution elsewhere, and it seems the true father was married days before going to war, and killed, within a week or so, and the new *father* nd natural mother baptised the child as their own, to keep things simple for the child, who was later told, eventually, after dna testing showed otherwise. Child is living so no names and no pack drill. It prefers it that way.
