Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Mary CarterMary Carter was born Abt 1673, Henrico Co., Virginia; died Aft 1732, Henrico Co., Virginia or Rowen, NC.

    Notes:

    Mary Carter, d/o Giles had orphans of Thomas Davis, her husband, when she married Thomas Totty and produced at least 2 children with him. I speculate she would have named one of the children Giles and another Thomas; When she married 2nd to Thomas Totty, George Jefferson stood security for the bond.

    It appears there are two Mary Carters in Henrico; Mary, d/o Giles Carter m. James Davis so named in her father's will. This Mary then marries Thomas Totty proven by Henrico records; [George Jefferson is surety]
    2nd Mary Elizabeth Carter is the d/o Joseph and documents prove she is married to a James Davis. 1738 Lancaster.

    The unproved marriage report of a Mary Carter to James Osborne is certainly questionable as she is said to be married to him [Osborne] while married to Davis & Totty. We have proved the marriages to Davis and Totty; no evidence is seen to substantiate the purported Osborne relationship. Too many Mary's; not enough data. mfe
