Hi, I have most of his children as I am a descendent of Joel Carter. I will
have to get them out and will send them to you by this weekend if that is
okay.
William Merriman was generally listed a Merry Carter. As several of his
descendents have the same name you will have to determine which by location
(VA) and dates. The other Merrys were in Tennessee (2) and one in Kentucky.
Also on migrated from Tennessee to the west. Merry was in the French and
Indian War and is listed on several lists as helping with the Revolution.
One or two sons were lost in the Revolutionand there was at least one set of
twins. Twins are a recurring thing in this line of Carters. Augustine
Leftwich was Frances' father and sold land to Merry in Bedford County, VA.
The children migrated to Davidson County, Tennessee and then one that I
know of to Kentucky (my
line). Joel (Leftwich) Carter. The name Leftwich has been handed down
through the Carter and St. Clair lines for at least 4 generations. There
was a James that I can remember in
Tennessee that My Joel's son Merry went to live with and only returned to
Breckinridge County, Ky after Joel's death to look after his mother.
Isaac St. Clair was the father of Isaac St. Clair that also came to
Breckinridge County Ky. Old Isaac (Bedford County, VA) was give the power
of attorney to sell Merry place after his death. Young Isaac was married to
Joel Leftwich Carters daughter.
I will send you the list of children when I can pull them up. All of this
is just from memory.
Hope this helps.
Sheila
