Dear Tim,
There is a bit here in "DESCENDANTS OF CAPT. THOMAS CARTER"
Page 312
" Unidentified Carters in marriage records: Charles CARTER to Susannah TAPP
Dec. 28, 1797."
I believe this took place in Culpeper County, VA.

the most elegant men I ever saw.We had a viset in the summer from Cousen
Eppa Filding and Edwin F. who we never saw before. They are very fine
