Biography

George Carter, was born 1725-30 in Christ Church Parish, Lancaster, Virginia. He was the son of Thomas Carter, grandson of Edward Carter, and great-grandson of Capt. Thomas Carter of "Barford" of Lancaster, Virginia. His wife was Frances Neale of Westmoreland County about 1750-55. They settled in Caroline County and raised their children Richard Alexander, John, George, Presley, Thompson, Levin, Charles E., Spencer, Mary, Margaret, Elizabeth, and Sarah Carter here. In 1755 George Carter was ordered to deliver the Estate of John Hubbard, Dec'd, to the securities of the Estate. In 1759 George Carter was guardian of three children, Daniel, Mary, and Eusebius Hubbard, orphans of John Hubbard Decd, giving account to the court. John Hubbard's widow Sarah had remarried to a John Carter who had died in Caroline County by Nov 1750. George received the following grants in Halifax, Virginia, and died there>[1]

On July 10, 1766 George had a grant of 185 acres in the county of Halifax and July 20, 1768, a patent for 354 acres in the same county.

George died in 1786 and the widow, Frances, approved the inventory of his estate. On 9 Feb 1787, Frances wrote a note to the Clerk saying that her husband had recently died, that she wanted Frederick Miller to have a license to marry her daughter, Mary Frances Carter, and was sending her son to represent her."

I have worked and studied this couple [Richard 'Gunsmith' Carter and Frances, his wife for many years. The books who show Frances as Frances Neale are inaccurate. She is Frances Walters, d/o William Walters and Susannah MAGBY. There has been much speculation and theories regarding this family. You will note as customary naming patterns using the grandmother's or mother's maiden name for a middle name. Magby, McBee and many other spellings identify the ancestors named Magby. These families are NOT descended from Thomas Carter. The dna results for Family Tree dna have identified descendants of several of the known children of Richard Carter and Frances Walters. They are each R1b-08. At least 4 or 5 men have tested with the exact same result. Also note on each deed record the witnesses are always Walters. William is dead, so her relatives are signators to ensure her [Frances] equity. This misidentification, likely begun with the Thomas Carter memoir is so very rampart in all quarters, and I fear will proliferate endlessly. Records concerning this family are found here. https://reynoldspatova.org/getperson.php?personID=I13984&tree=reynolds1 Mary Frances Eggleston (nee Reynolds)
Carter-19974 and Carter-7666 appear to represent the same person because: Please merge. Thank you.
I've a few questions regarding this Thomas Carter:

Have any marriage records been found for this couple? Any records that have their children? The only statement I've found so far "Thomas Carter living in Lancaster in 1785." as a reference to the son of Thomas Carter (1699-1776). So is this the son of Thomas Carter (1699-1776) or is he of a different Carter line?
