In addition to what Holly said, I wrote to the 'college of arms' once about
another line, but at that time they explained that a 'Coat of Arms' does
indeed belong to one specific person. But that his sons can change one
small item, or add something from his mothers' line to that Coat of Arms and
then it belongs to that specific son. So if there are any changes at all
to the coat of arms of Robert King Carter (I have not seen it myself), to
the one on that website (which I have also not looked at), it could be the
coat of arms of one of the sons, grandsons, etc.
Thanks, Kathy Wells.

I would like to point out that the Kevin Trueblood website you recommended
has what it calls "Carter Family Crest".

There is no such thing as a "Family Crest". Not under the English heraldry
system.
In the English heraldry system, a coat of arms was granted TO A SPECIFIC
PERSON. Only THAT person and his legitimate male line descendants have the
right to use the coat of arms. The coat of arms displayed on the Kevin
Trueblood website looks very similar to the coat of arms that officially
belongs to the Robert "King" Carter line (Y-DNA R1b-32).
But, hey! We're just ignorant rebel Colonists so we can do whatever we
like. My ancestors fought a war so I would have the right to thumb my nose
at the British Crown -- if I feel like it -- and apparently Kevin Trueblood
feels the same way.

Truebloods
Website which has pictures of Cary Carter, Mahalia Price, Moses
Carter, etc.
