June,
According to "A History of the Carter Family" (sorry, I don't have
author) Chapter 5,
Giles CARTER b 1634 in England. Died about 1700. Lived in Henrico
County, VA. Married Hannah. Their children were:
Theodrick, Susannah, Mary, Ann and Giles.
Son, Giles married married Mary PORALL. The only children listed for
them is a son Benjamin. This would be a few generations prior to the
Daniel you are seeking, but the Mary PORALL might be a clue to your
POVALLS...then again.

Kathy, did the book say they were descended from Giles Carter? I am
struggling to find where Daniel Carter, deceased in 1798 in Powhatan
County,
came from. I know that Povalls were mixed in there somehow and a Ralph
Hudspeth also. Any insight would be helpful. June Cottrtell
