You've convinced me there are multiple Charles Carters who are contemporaries &
that none of the ones mention so far is my ancestor.

I don't understand "proximity". The city of Fredericksburg, Virginia is
just north of Spotsylvania County, Virginia in the northern part of the state but I
thought Charles Carter & Lucy Barksdale were married down in Charlotte County,
Virginia which is in the southern part of the state (two counties over from Pittsylvania
County, Virginia).
I'm wondering if the Charles Carter married to Betty Lewis is the same as the Charles
Carter married to Elizabeth Lewis. Betty (Bettie) was a common nickname for Elizabeth.
1 John Carter
..+ Sarah Ludlow
....2 Robert "King" Carter ( confirmed R1b-32 )
......+ Judith Armistead
........3 John Carter
..........+ Elizabeth Hill
............4 Edward Carter
..............+ Sarah Champe
................5 Charles Carter d: 1829
..................+ Elizabeth "Betty" Lewis b: 22 FEB 1765 d: 9 AUG 1830
Only this Charles Carter is reported to have died in 1829, not 1827, and said to have died
in Clarke County, Virginia.
Then there is this other Charles Carter from Pittsylvania County, Virginia who is said to
have been married to Lucy Barksdale:
( unconfirmed R1a-02 )
1 Giles Carter b: ~1634 d: ~1699
..+ Hannah ( disputed original surname )
....2 Theodorick Carter
......+ Elizabeth ( disputed original surname ) d: ~1751
........3 Theodorick Carter b: ~1713
..........+ Anne Waddill
............4 Theodorick (III) Carter b: ~1747 d: ~1805
..............+ Judith Cunningham or Miss Townes
................5 Charles Carter b: ~1772
..................+ Lucy Barksdale
The Charles Carter who died in 1827 in Fredericksburg is a mystery to me.

I found a Charles Carter obituary. Fredericksburg, VA: The Virginia Herald, vol. II
(Saturday, 26 May 1827), p. 3. col. 3). I have assumed the obituary is for the Charles
Carter who married Lucy Barksdale based on the proximity of Charles' death place to
the locale of his marriage to Lucy.
As you point out, it seems suspicious that two Charles Carters would have died on the
same date. In order to try to resolve this dilemma, what is the source for the death date
of the Charles Carter who married Berry Lewis?
