| 1. | Judith ? Townes was born Abt 1745, Halifax Co., Virginia; died Bef 1764, Halifax County, Virginia. Notes:
Theodorick Carter, it seems was Witness to the will of Stephen Towns [sic] the accounts current of this will read like a 'whose who' of the families who intermarried later in Halifax County Virginia, including David Powell, Richard Carter, William Carter, William Womack, Obediah Kerby, James LeGrand, Thomas Lipscomb, James Brooks, Turners, Brandons and others. Together with the note that Theodorick married Miss Townes, reputed to be 'Judith' Townes is compatible with the assumption that this is correct information. Presumably Ms. Townes [wife of Theodorick, had died prior to the date of this will, as he married his next wife, Judith Cunningham in 1770] WP21 Aug 1783
