George Holder,
From my research I, too, believe that your William is from the Giles
CARTER family. The names you list run through all branches of this
family. However, I would suggest you check out the STAMPS family, i.e.
Thomas, William and Timothy, for possible leads.
William (R Wm) STAMPS patented 1020 acres on Birch Creek in Halifax
County in 1766. His wife Elizabeth CARTER, born 1766, was the daughter
of Theodrick CARTER III. Elizabeth was the sister of William CARTER
who married William STAMPS sister, "Polly" STAMPS. After William
CARTER'S death
"Polly" married her cousin, Timothy STAMPS, on Dec 30.
1811.(Pittsylvania Co Marriage records).
Let us know whether this leads anywhere for yoiu.

Original message:
I am looking for the parents and siblings of William CARTER who died
in Halifax County, North Carolina, in 1810. His will identifies his
wife as Deanitia, and his children as William (?Billie?), Theodorick,
Joseph. Francis, Mary, Martha, Nancy Ann, and Lucy. The name of the
son Theodorick may indicate William is of the Giles Carter of Virginia
family but I?ve found no proof.
Any information would be sincerely appreciated.
George
