PATRIOT Capt. Samuel Carter

Notes:

GILES CARTER OF VIRGINIA

Eggleston, Ryland Randolph. Edniimd Harrison, Richard Tenable, John Epperson. Francis Eppes, Henry Skipwith, Bidler Claiboiu-ne, Samuel Carter, James Wade and other gentlemen were appointed trustees for clearing, improving and extending the navigation of the Appomatox River from Banister's Mills as far up the same as they may judge it practicable, so as to have a sufficient depth and width of water to navigate boats, batteaus or canoes capable of carrying eight hogsheads of tobacco." SAMUEL CARTER who was named as one of the trustees was a son of Theodrick (Second) and Anne Carter.

Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page3). Samuel at various times held the county offices of sheriff, magistrate, and coroner; in 1805-1806 he represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia Assembly. In the late 1790s he was a trustee of a company which improved navigation on the Appomattox River. Later, he became a charter trustee of the Junction Canal Company. In 1825 the company constructed a canal which linked the Appomattox and Little Roanoke rivers. John Wood's map of Prince Edward County shows Samuel's mill at the mid-point of this canal.

Theodrick Carter, II and Anne Waddill were the parents of Nancy Waddill Carter. Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill. William was elected vestryman of St. Peter's, on June 1, 1704, and served in this capacity for at least thirty-five years. The author James Branch Cabell, a descendant of John Waddill, discussed the Waddills in his book "The Majors and Their Marriages." Theodrick Carter and Anne Waddill lived for a time in New Kent County. According to the register of St. Peter's parish, their first child John was baptized on October 30, 1737. Theodrick appeared in the Amelia County tithables list of June 10, 1747 in John Nash's district (this area became part of Prince Edward County in 1754); he is absent from the list Nash compiled for the same district on June 10, 1745. He must therefore have migrated from New Kent County to present-day Prince Edward County sometime between these two dates. Nancy was born June 15, 1749, probably at her father's estate "Hickory Hill" (also known as "Hickory Grove"). According to tradition, the house was built around 1750; however, it may have been built three years earlier, since we know that Theodrick was living in John Nash's tax district on June 10, 1747. John Wood's 1820 map of Prince Edward County shows the location of Hickory Hill. Two miles west of Hampden-Sydney College is the notation "Capt. Carter's." Captain Carter was Samuel Carter, Nancy's brother. Samuel inherited Hickory Hill from his father in 1777. Destroyed by fire in 1933, Hickory Hill was described four years later in the Works Projects Administration survey of Prince Edward County homes: [Hickory Hill] was not a show place except for its splendid boxwood and cedar hedge and lovely gardens. It was a plain frame house, or rather two houses connected by a little square room. The first of these traditions says it was built in 1750, a story and a half with small rooms except for one large reception room, which was beautifully paneled, and with one side of carved oak. The other part of the house was built by William H. Venable, when he bought the plantation in 1853 from Edward Carter [Samuel's son]. Mr. Venable built a large, square, two-story frame building, with large rooms and ample halls. The many outbuildings around the mansion house made the place quite a little settlement. The large grove of hickories flanking it on the south gave the place its name.

That Patriot Samuel Carter is the son of Ann Waddill and the husband of Elizabeth McRobert is proven by his associations with his brothers, Waddill, and his Chancery Suit in Prince Edward for his share of his Father's Still [purchased by Theodorick3 and his son, Waddill. He is also the elder of the two, closely related Samuel's. The Samuel Carter who is the owner of Carter's Tavern is the son of Theodorick4 and his wife, Judith Cunningham. This Samuel Carter, Married Elizabeth H. Neal 8 Sep 1812 in Halifax Co., VA. [Original marriage record shows Elizabeth H. Bibb as she is a Widow, and whose mother is Martha Neal and Bondsman or Security as Wm. Neale Jr.] His 2nd wife, Betsy M. Holcomb is the Widow of John H. Holcomb, and names her Holcomb sons in her will of 1844. The Margaret B. Carter who witnesses her Will, is identified as her Sister-in-law. It should also be noted that the Household of Samuel Carter and Betsy included the orphan of his nephew, William and Mary Hobson, as well as the Holcomb orphans. Additionally, Samuel 'Tavern Keeper' identifies his brother as Alexander Carter.

Samuel Carter (-1830) gave support to the Army during the Revolution. He represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia House of Delegates (1805-6).

Samuel's will executed 17 Dec 1829, probated 18 May 1830, Pr. Edw. Co., VA; Witnesses: J. Michaux, J. W. Franklin, R. Booker, James Madison; Executors: sons William M. & Edward A., & son-in-law John P. Mittauer.

Died:

The May 4, 1830 issue of the Richmond Gazette carried the following notice of Samuel's death:

Died, on the 29 ult. at his residence in Prince Edward county, Capt. Samuel Carter, in the 76th year of his age. The disease which terminated his existence was of long standing and grievous; but he bore it with the utmost patience, and met death with a firmness that had characterized him throughout his long and useful life. It cannot be necessary to lay before the public a particular detail of the useful part he acted, during an arduous struggle for Liberty and Independence: let it suffice to say, he embarked in the cause of freedom at the earliest period of our conflict with the Mother County, and his zeal never abated or tired in its defence. He was in the battles at Germantown, Long Island, Brandywine, and, in short, most of the hard-fought actions to the North, in which he distinguished himself as an undaunted, intrepid officer and soldier. His conduct and services after peace was established proved his ardent attachment to pure republican principles, and is worthy of all praise. He was soon called to fill, and did then also distinguish himself by a most happy, judicious exercise of his superior, natural, mental endowments. No one knew man better than Capt. Carter; and no one did, or can excel him in the possession of those rare qualities, which so pre-eminently fits man for usefulness to his fellow man. As a man, he was scrupulously just-- His hospitality was proverbial, and his charity, which was exercised for charity's sake, knew no bounds. As a husband and a father, he was affectionate and tender, almost to a fault-- As a master, he was kind and humane; and his superior he has not left behind him.

Samuel married Mary Elizabeth McRobert 11 Jan 1798, Prince Edward County, Virginia. Mary (daughter of Reverend Archibald McRobert and Elizabeth Bland Munford) was born Est 1774, Prince Edward Co., Virginia; died 1800, Prob. Prince Edward Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill.

Nancy's father was one of Prince Edward County's most prominent planters. He purchased 975 acres in old Amelia County on September 20, 1748, and bought and sold other parcels of land up to the time of his death. A member of the Anglican church, Theodrick offered 300 acres of land to St. Patrick's parish for its use as a glebe, or plot of land granted to the local clergyman as part of his benefice during his tenure of office.

Thomas and Nancy Thompson probably named their fourth child in honor of her brother, Samuel Carter. Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page 3).

Under Berkley's administration, the first generation of what would be known as the Virginian aristocracy came into existence before the English Civil War ended. These included the founders of powerful dynasties such as John Carter, Richard Lee, Benjamin Harrison, the first Randolph and Thomas Stegg (or Stegge) who amassed the Byrd wealth. All of the colonizers who rose socially had connections, wealth and education. These advantages promoted them to the highest rungs of the colonial society. The families they founded ruled the Royal colony of Virginia for more than a century.
The Byrd, Beverley, Carter, Culpepper, Isham, Washington, Spencer, Randolph, Jefferson, Bland, Beverely, Bolling, Eppe and Hackett families intermarried, creating a web of overlapping kinships. They sat on the governing boards of the colony and promoted each others interests. Berkeley also fostered the rise of the General Assembly from a small body into a replica of the Parliament in England, and promoted a separation of power between provincial and county governments. He worked to create a royalist society, where an elite ruled over the great masses of yeoman farmers, free and enslaved African Americans, indentured servants and marginal farmers who leased their land. A brief look at some of the families who served in the Virginia House of Burgesses displays a continuity of the landed-gentry class in the governing class of the colony. In 1664 Lawrence Washington and William Randolph were elected members of the House of Burgesses. The 1736-1740 legislative session had representatives of the Randolph, Carter, Fitzhugh, Beverely and Berkeley families seated, and the 1776 Assembly had Carters, Randolphs and Lees as well as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson.
++++++++++++++++++
Wm. Burnett says "I think we are beginning (or, at least, are on the verge of beginning) to get some deeper insights into what was going on in 17th century Virginia as it relates to some particular families on which we have spent some of our time researching."

?My sense is that we should get a better understanding of what was going on on Turkey Island in Henrico County in the 17the century, before the Randolph family (another one of my ancestral lines, by the way, having the distinction of being the earliest known (to me) mother in my maternal line of mother?s mother?s mother?s etc.) began building its 18th century mega-mansion.

?Giles Carter, whose progeny (son Theodoric with many siblings) is undisputed, is considered by all researchers known to me to have been born in Gloucestershire England. Everything else is a matter of dispute with some very sophisticated arguments to advance each theory as to from whom he descended and who he married or to discredit other theories on those subjects.

?Giles Carter may well have been a teenage indentured servant, with relatives, at least by marriage, of royal descendency. If so, his indenture occurred a few years, perhaps a decade, before a pair of Saunders (cited by Justin) came over to America.

?(There is a difference between the indentures of Giles Carter and the Saunders which I suspect we will find is important. Giles? indenture conformed to a policy of the Cromwell?s Commonwealth. The Saunders came over when Cromwell?s associates were being hanged for high treason.)

?Now let me share with you my (current) radical thought. The Carters, Saunders, Crumps, Crewes, Sewalls et al. were involved in dynastic strategies (maybe not a monolithic strategy, but several strategies that collectively looked out for the economic interests and sought to secure economically viable positions for the younger members of the ?clans?).

?That ?indentured service? or ?apprenticeship? positions were not lower class stable boys persuaded to trade years of labor for passage over to the new world, but devices by which the sovereign power granted subsidies (land for numbers of indentured servants transported from England to America).

?The Merchant-Venturers of Bristol, who had suffered under the English Civil War, considered the tobacco of Virginia a game-changing event. If that is so, why not exploit the sovereign?s deal to grant land in Virginia in exchange for passage of ?servants? to America.

?I am proposing that we re-examine the research on the 17th century immigration to Virginia in a new light. That we take with a grain of salt all 21st century explanations of what 17th century terms mean ? indentures, land for passage of servants, even dowries and bequests.

?Instead, we consider the 17th century settling of Virginia as the concerted exploitation of ?new lands? involving the sovereign power and a select number of families that have achieved power and influence over the centuries and are determined to exploit the situation to their advantage.

A corollary to the above argument of ?concerted action by mercantile families? suggests that we consider wills and property transactions not just from the standpoint of nuclear families as we are used to thinking in the 21st century, but as sometimes (often?) part of dynastic strategies.

Virginia County boundaries based on a 1770 map

The Illustration, below, of Virginia County boundaries, uses the following as a base map: A New and Accurate Map of Virginia Wherein most of the Counties are laid down from Actual Surveys. With A Concise Account of the Number of Inhabitants, the Trade, Soil, and Produce of that Province. By John Henry. Engraved by Thomas Jefferys Geographer to the King. London, Thos. Jefferys, 1770. Call Number: G3880 1770 .H4 Vault. Library of Congress, Geography and Map Division. County names are transcribed below the map and numbering has been added to show their location. Colorfill has been added to highlight County boundaries. Counties that were listed without boundaries defined are represented without colorfilled areas. The Muster Rolls of Pendleton Militia on 6 Sep 1794 in Captain William Janes' Company were: Michael Arbogast, Jacob Gum, Charles Halterman, and Henry Simmons ( Library of Congress )

Birth:
The interior of Saint John the Baptist Church in Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England

Name:
This from another researcher, Peyton Carter, 1 Apr 2003. I have received confirmation from the records office in Gloucestershire, England, of the baptismal record of Giles Carter, who immigrated to Henrico County, Virginia. Here is the actual reply I received:

"A member of staff checked the baptism register for the parish of Cirenchester (P86) for the year 1635 and I can confirm that the baptism of Gyles, son of Theodor [Theodore] Cartor is recorded. The spelling of names was not standardized until fairly recently and so the slight difference in spelling of both the christian and surnames is not significant."

Giles1 married Hannah Crew/Crews/Crewes. Hannah (daughter of Captain James Crew/Crews/Crewes and Consort of James Crew/Crews) was born Est 1655, Turkey Island, Henrico Co., Virginia; died 1702, Varina, Henrico, Virginia . [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Name:
Hannah Crew has been accepted as the wife of Giles Carter by the Colonial Dames of the 17th Century. She is said to be the daughter of James Crewe [notorious for his participation in 'Bacon's Rebellion'. James Crewe was hanged for his participation.

Notes:

--- John Webb was transported from England to Henrico County, Virginia in 1678.
--- John Webb's will (dated 6 Jul 1725) mentioned his wife, grandson William, and a son John to be executor. Wit: Theodorick Carter and his wife Elizabeth Carter. Page 109 of attached PDF (children listed in St Peters Parish Vestry Book)

John married Sarah Cock/Cocke/Cox. Sarah was born Est 1660, Henrico County, Virginia; died Bef 1726. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Died:
Not mentioned in Will of John Webb

Notes:

The Waddills lived in St. Peter's Parish for many years, as shown by the register and other parish records. William Waddill, Sr., was a vestryman and also church warden of St. Peter's Parish. His name was spelled Waddell in all the records until the meeting of August 18th, 1704, after which it was always spelled Waddill until it disappears from the vestry proceedings, the last entry being at the meeting of October 8th, 1737. [Note ? this makes perfect sense because William Waddill died Oct 17, 1738 and is buried under a large tree on Cedar Lane Farm on ground that is near St. Peter?s Parish in New Kent County, Virginia.]

William married Susannah Noel. Susannah was born Est 1668, Prob. New Kent Co., Colonial Virginia; died Yes, date unknown. [Group Sheet]
