      Descendants of Thomas Carter III of Lancaster

      Thomas Carter, eldest son of Capt. Thomas and Arabella Carter; born about 1696, lived and died at or near the old home on Corotoman River. He was married about I720-I725 to Joana Miller; said to have been of a Maryland family, though there was a Miller family at that time in Lancaster, but the Lancaster marriage bonds do not contain
      his name. This Thomas Carter's descendants have perpetuated the Williamson-Ball names of Jesse, Juduthan, Rawleigh and Williamson more than any other branch of Arabella Williamson Carter's descendants. Sept. 28, 1730 he was granted 200 acres of land in that part of Goochland county that in 1748 became Cumberland county, and four
      years later another grant for 400 acres. Thomas Carter of Christ Church parish, Lancaster made his will April 17, 1735, probated July 9, 1735. He left all his estate to wife Joana, and after her death to his two sons, Jesse and Thomas Carter. He asked that no appraisement of his personal estate be made, but an inventory shows that he left a good lot of household goods, books, a gold ring, four negroes and seven sets of
      brick moulds, which shows that bricks were made in that part of Virginia. Joan Carter did not long survive her husband as on May 3, 1737, Mr. Thomas James was appointed guardian of Jesse and Thomas Carter, orphans of Thomas and Joan Carter. Jesse Carter was of age prior to March 10, 1748, as on that date the court made a final settlement with him for his share of the estates of his father, Thomas Carter, and his grandfather, Capt. Thomas Carter, Jr. Thomas Carter IV was not of age until Nov. 27, I755 but Feb. 21, 1752, the court decided in his favor a suit against his guardian, Mr. Thomas James for his share of his father's and grandfather's estate. He then chose his brother Jesse as his guardian, and Aug. I7, 1753, Jesse Carter as guardian of his brother, Thomas returned to court an account for the services of two negroes belonging to Thomas. Thomas and Joana Carter had two sons named Thomas, as often happened in colonial days. The elder of these, born before his grandfather made his will, April 24, 1728, died about 1733-'34, and when another son was born Nov. 27, 1734, he was also christened Thomas.
      9. Jesse Carter, born circa 1724-1725, died in Pittsylvania in Nov. 1811.
      10. Thomas Carter, born Nov. 27, 1734, died in Pittsylvania, July 15, 1817.

      THOMAS CARTER (Thos.(3), Thos.(2), Thos.(1)), b. "Barford," Lancaster County, Nov. 27, 1734,
      died at "Greenrock," Pittsylvania, July 15, I8I7.
      In I760 he sold his land in Lancaster and removed with his brother, Jessee to the land they had inherited from their father, in Cumberland County. Here Thomas Carter married, July 10, 1764, Winifred Hobson, eldest daughter of Adcock and Joana Lawson Hobson. She was born July 15, I745 in Northumberland County, and died Dec. 3, I831, in Pittsylvania.

      Bio provided by Kitty (#49069727)
      Thomas Carter and Nancy Hutchings were married in 1806. Nancy was the daughter of Moses Hutchings and Lucy Parks (who were married 13 Dec 1780 in Pittsylvania Co., VA). After Nancy died, Thomas moved to St. Charles, MO, with all of his children except James and Stokeley. Thomas died in St. Charles, MO. His will was recorded in Pittsylvania Co., VA, on 20 Nov 1854 (Will Book 2, p. 181).

      NOTES ON WILL OF THOMAS CARTER 1852 And MOSES HUTCHINGS 1835 This Thomas Carter's will was written in Missouri. After his wife Nancy Hutchings died, he moved west when most of his children did. Nancy died prior to the writing of her father's will on Jan 13, 1835. In his will, Moses Hutchings states that he has already given to his 'Daughter Nancy Carter wife of Thomas Carter in her lifetime one Negro girl named Amey together with various other property which she had in possession long previous to her death. It is also my will and desire that at my death the children of the said Nancy Carter or their legal representatives shall have an equal share of the property of which I may die possessed of, to be equally divided between them which I give to them and their heirs forever.' Later, in Item 10, he refers to his deceased daughter Nancy Carter 'at my death and before there is any division of the property of which I may die possessed of, there shall be raised by my Executors out of the said property the sum of six hundred dollars and paid to my surviving Daughter Polly Walton and to the children of my Deceased Daughters Nancy Carter and Peggy Tompkins as follows to wit, to the said Polly Walton the sum of Two hundred dollars and to the Children of the said Nancy Carter the sum of Two hundred dollars and the three children of the said Peggy Tompkins the sum of Two hundred dollars which said sum of Two hundred dollars I give and bequeath to my said daughter Polly Walton and the heirs of her body to be equally divided between them, and the sum of two hundred dollars I give and bequeath to the children of my two deceased Daughters to wit, Nancy Carter and Peggy Tompkins respectively to be equally divided between them, to them and their heirs forever? An interesting note for descendants of Stokeley Carter is that Nancy Hutchings had a brother Stokely Hutchings as mentioned in the will of Moses Hutchings. Carters Leaving Pittsylvania County Of the children of this Thomas Carter, James and Stokeley Carter stayed in Pittsylvania County. Note in the will that they are authorized to sell their father?s land in Virginia and divide it among all the children. The will also states that his daughter Lucy has died, and he mentions his daughter Winnefred Hubbard. In Miller?s book, he names the children, from oldest to youngest: James, Lucy, Samuel, Winifred, Stokeley, William, Patsy, and Margaret. Miller has more information on James and Stokeley than he does on the others. He implies that all of the others moved to Missouri with their father. He has that Lucy married a Mr. Hubbard, and than Winifred did also. I'm guessing it is the same Mr. Hubbard since we know Lucy pre-deceased her father, and had children. The executor of Thomas Carter's will, Milton L Lovell was married to his daughter Margaret Carter. He was her 2nd husband, she having previously married a Mr. McGregor. Milton Lovell was a judge in Missouri. Son William Carter had a daughter who married someone from Missouri, so I am thinking he went there with his father
