George can you tell me where Samuel Carter lived and his time frame?
I am going to add more on Daniel Carter and maybe someone will recognize him. He was a
witness to a deed in Goochland County in 1746 from Henry Trent to Robert Goode along with
Bennett Goode and Thomas Turpin.
He went to Henrico County for the trial of William Day against Poval Carter. Povai Carter
l, paid him and a Giles Carter for 2 days attendance and traveling 37 miles twice and
ferriage. Henrico County Court Orders pg 157 June 1757. (Robert Carter in Cumberland
County had a son Giles. ) Daniel was a an overseer for John Pleasants in Cumberland
County. In 1763. he was a witness to a deed when John Pleasants Sr. and Jr. sold 800
acres to Joseph Calland and Maurice Langhorne.
He was in various trials as a witness. He bought 100 acres from Hezekiah and his son
Daniel Mosby, Hezekiah inherited from his father- in-law Nicholas Cox. A Giles Carter
was a witness to a land transaction of Nicholas to John Martin then in Henrico in 1728.
The land Daniel bought in 1775 was on Maple Swamp which fell into Powhatan County. One of
his Daniel's sons was John B. Carter who was born 11 February 1758. He married
Elizabeth Mosby. According to his pension application John was a son of Daniel and Jane?
