I do NOT have any "proven" Davis descendants from Mary CARTER DAVIS,
widow of Thomas DAVIS who married my ancestor Thomas "TOTTY" (NOT Toddy).
I have mainly researched my direct line. I do have the book "Giles
Carter of Virginia" that I use for reference among other Bk's of Henrico
Co., Virginia. I was hoping I would find DAVIS descendant's of Mary on
this CARTER-L list. I do have some information on the HUDSPETH's who
went to NC, TN, KY. But I do not have Daniel CARTER you are seeking
information on. I also have a John DAVIS I believe to be a likely
descendant of Mary TOTTY, but can not post information without making an
error, so best not to claim anything at this point. I appreciate your
comments and hopefully I will be able to start researching My CARTER
ancestors more. I have been consentrating on my COMBS family for a
long time, trying to find the maiden name of William TOTTY's wife Mary,
whom I believe could likely be a COMBS, not proven still. I am becoming
burnt out on the COMBS research and wanted a change of pace <VBG>. I
would love to hear your info on you you think Hannah may have married
after the death of Giles. I never even thought of her getting remarried,
duh, maybe I can help you a little. Do you know of any DAVIS
descendants of Mary and Thomas?
Looking forward to getting to know other CARTER researcher's.

Birdie,
Do you have any Davis descendants from Mary (Carter) Davis and then she
was Mary (Carter) Davis Toddy but first married to Thomas Davis? Do you
have any descendants from Anne (Carter) who married James Davis?
Susannah (Carter) Price Williamson who first married Daniel Price is
also in the will. These girls were daughters of Giles Carter, I.
I am struggling with Davis in Cumberland County. Ralph Hudspeth sold
John Davis some land in Goochland County-> Cumberland Co. about 1740.
This Davis may be family since Ralph Hudspeth married first Mary Carter
dau of Giles Carter, II.
James S. Beck did a book published by Family History Publishers of
Bountiful, Utah called OBSCURITY named for the Hobson Tract in
Cumberland County. His address was 428 North 300 East, Keysville, Ut
84037. The book is mostly family group sheets but some history of his
family. He is descended from Mary (Carter) Hudspeth 1st wife of Ralph
Hudspeth, Jr who went to NC with Giles Carter, Jr so the report goes.
Giles Carter Jr married Mary Povall sometime before 1708. He completely
lost me when he stated William Carter who died 1810 in Halifax, NC was a
son of Giles Carter and Mary Povall. I asked for proof and he stated
his notes had not caught up with his writing. You may want this book.
It's cost was $20.00 in 1995.
Did Hannah Carter remarry after Giles Carter I death. I have a name in
mind but don't want it published because it then becomes fact.
You can ask me anything you want. I am searching for Daniel Carter in
Cumberland County in 1756 as overseer for John Pleasants. He later was
in Powhatan County where he died in 1797 and his son Povall Carter II
was executor of his estate. Povall Carter I died in Henrico County in
1760 but he did not name Daniel Carter as one of his children although
Daniel testified for him in a suit in Henrico County in 1755/56.
