• Notes

  Peyton Carter: There is a George Carter, who inherits land in the will of Richard Womack at Gilly's [possibly Grilly] Mill in Henrico County, Virginia (in a part that later became part of Chesterfield County, VA)in 1725. It seems likely that George Carter was Womack's son-in-law. He then immediately sold this land to Thomas Jefferson II (grandfather of the future President). Jefferson bequeathes this land in his will, written in 1725 to his daughter Judith Farrar, wife of George Farrar. (This land was adjacent to additional lands that were owned by Matthew Ligon, father of Richard Ligon, 1745 - 1820, of Amelia/Nottoway.) About 1760, the Farrars sold this land and moved to Mecklenburg to be near Judith's brother, Field Jefferson. In 1803 in Charlotte County, VA, a George Carter makes his will, in which he names his son Richard Carter, son-in-law Eli Roby, and wife Mary; it is wintessed by Clement Read, Daniel Hendrick and Coleman Carter. Coleman Carter married Elizabeth Smith in Charlotte in 1794 and then remarried to Mary Wingo in Amelia in 1806. (It is unknown if the inspiration behind Coleman Carter's name is related to James Coleman, mentioned above with a George Carter in 1745.)
