WILLIAM CARTERs will is dated 17 March 1810 and proven in May Court,
1810, in Halifax County, NC. It lists his wife as DEANITIA CARTER, sons
WILLIAM CARTER, THEODORIC CARTER, JOSEPH CARTER and FRANCIS CARTER,
daughters MARY SAWYER, MARTHA BAKER, NANCY BOSTON (?)
and LUCY PIKE, grandson WILLIAM CARTER, son of FRANCES and grand
daughters LOUISA JONES CARTER and POLLY HARRIS and grandson BELFIELD N.
CARTER.
Since WILLIAM CARTER (d. 1810) named one of his sons THEODORIC, he is
thought to be the son of THEODORICK CARTER whose will was probated in
Prince Edward County, Virginia, on 19 Jan 1778, and lists a son,
WILLIAM, Proof that this WILLIAM is the same one who died in 1810 in
Halifax County, NC, is unknown. Any information proving or disproving
this relationship would be very much appreciated.
