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]

Notes:

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.

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.
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).

___________________
Capt. Robert Munford resided at Prince George Co., VA. He was a member of the House of Burgesses between 1736 and 1740 at Virginia. He left a will on 8 Sep 1743; proved 10 Sep 1745. He died in Dec 1744.

George Currie, 2nd husband of Elizabeth, resided at Prince George Co., VA. He died circa
1771.

Am searching for information about Rev. Archibald McRobert,
who was a charter member of Hampden-Sidney College and an organizer of the Presbyterian church in Prince Edward County in the late 1700s. He married Elizabeth Munford, daughter of Robert Munford and Ann Bland. In 1800, he and (his son?)Theodorick McRobert served on a Republican Committee from
PE Co. to advise President Jefferson on the reelection of Republicans. Theodorick and another son (I presume), Ebenezer, appear on the 1910 Prince Edward Co. census.
