Ginger and Deloris,
Sorry, I've been out of town. This is the abstract of the will that I have, except
that Jesse Carter and Benjamin Carter are shown as signing with their mark.
The full citation of the source is: Margaret M. Hofmann, Genealogical Abstracts of Wills,
1758 through 1824, Halifax County, North Carolina (Weldon, North Carolina: The Roanoke
News Company, 1970), 143.
Regards,
George
