  • Notes 
    • John Carter, is the husband of Oney Pollard and a 1st wife, whose last name is Vaughan, a daughter of James Vaughan and Lucy Jeter. Peyton Carter, whose line this is, now believes Oney Pollard is the 2nd wife of John and the first wife, Vaughan is the mother of all three of his children. Mary Elizabeth Carter, James Ryland 'Riley' and Beverly Atwood Carter. We believe it is likely that the Vaughan Mother of these children is Mary Elizabeth, and that this child would have been named for her Mother, who died at her birth.

    1. [S46] Marriage Record/Certificate, John Carter + Sally Watkins.
      There are six marriages in Halifax of John Carters in the period of 1790-1822. If John Carter, s/o Waddill Carter is not the person who married 1st a Vaughan [d/o James], and then Oney Pollard, then John, s/o Waddill must have married one of the other candidates. They are; John Carter-Sarah Farmer, d/o Enoch Farmer, 25 Jan 1790; John Carter-Sarah Blankenship, d/o John Blankenship 14 Sep 1799; John Carter-Sally Watkins 17 Jun 1800 [Robt.Terry is bondsman and Nancy Terry, Elizabeth Reade and Robt Terry] John Carter-Susannah Powell (who signs for herself 2nd marriage?) 24 Mar 1804[Robert Powell is security and Joshua Adams and Samuel Cobbs Jr. Witnesses]; John Carter and Leanna Francis, d/o David Francis, 26 Dec 1812; John Carter and Sally Frazier, d/o Joel Frazier Witnesses James Cole and Joel Tucker; John Carter and Sarah Yeates 23 Dec 1822 John Yeats Bondsman. It is likely Sally Watkins died young and any other of these entries may be a 2nd marriage for John, s/o Waddill. Further research is underway.

      Note by Nancy Billings: I found Charles Carter on the tax records in 1793 in Chesterfield Co VA. He has 256 acres at that time. His son James marries Phoebe Farmer daughter of John Farmer. We later find Phoebe named in her father's Will. I found the Farmer family tree in a book in the VA State Library with records back to 1616 on the James River.
