The book "Giles Carter of Virginia" by General William Giles Harding
Carter, US Army, published in 1908, lists Giles Carter's descendants
known when the book was published. Both the names "Giles" and
Theodorick" appear a number of times in this family and are almost
unknown in any other Carter family.
Page 82 of the book tells of the will of Theodorick Carter (the third)
of Halifax County, Virginia, which was executed on July 13th, 1805. It
lists a daughter Elizabeth who married a (first name unknown)
Richardson. Page 109 shows this Theodorick married first, a Miss Townes
and second Judith Cunningham. Page 116 lists this Theodorick's children
but does not say which child was by which mother. This may not be your
Elizabeth. There are a number of Elizabeth Carters and Theodorick
Carters in the book.
If this is the correct Theodorick, the book gives his father as
Theodorick (the second, will probated Prince Edward County, Virginia, on
19 Jan 1778) son of Theodorick (the first, died 1736/1737 in Henrico,
Co, VA) son of Giles Carter (1634-1699/17000).
I am very interested in this family because your Theodorick Carter may
be a brother to my 5g-grandfather William Carter who died in 1810 in
Halifax County, North Carolina. But I can find no proof to connect my
William Carter with the William Carter, son of Theodorick Carter (the
second). I would very much appreciate any information you might have
which would confirm or refute this.
Good luck. George Holder, Long Beach, MS
