    Notes:

Value 765 lbs tobacco By William DODSON, Francis MAYBERRY, George HUNT, and Henry VADEN. Presented in court by Thomas TOTTY and his wife Mary TOTTY, late relict of Thomas DAVIS. Recorded 1 Dec 1691.

    Birth:
    354 Capt. Thomas Davis 1651 600
    VIRGINIA COUNTY RECORDS SHOW CAPTAIN THOMAS DAVIS AWARDED 600 ACRES IN 1651 NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, VIRGINIA

    Died:
    1691 December Court [Henrico County Records Book No. 2, 1678-1693 Com: Hen:ci pro die Decemb.s A:o Dm 1691] Tho: TOTTY & __________ his wife according to Order of the last Court prsenting the Inventory & Apprizemt of her former husband Thomas Davis's estate & it appearing to be under the value of an Admcon It is therefore order'd that ye same doe remain in his Custody as Trustee thereof he giving security for ye same. Geo: Hunt in Open Court enters himself security With Tho: TOTTY the Trustee for ye estate belonging to ye Orphs of Tho: Davis dec:d.

    Thomas married Mary Carter Bef 1685. Mary (daughter of Giles1 Carter and Hannah Crew/Crews/Crewes) was born Abt 1673, Henrico Co., Virginia; died Aft 1732, Henrico Co., Virginia or Rowen, NC. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Mary CarterMary Carter was born Abt 1673, Henrico Co., Virginia (daughter of Giles1 Carter and Hannah Crew/Crews/Crewes); 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

    1691 October Court [Henrico County Records Book No. 2, 1678-1693 Com: Hen:ci pr:o die Octob:s Anno Dom: 1691] Tho: Totty & _______ his wife late Relict of Tho: Davis dec'd being by Order of ye Orph:s Court sumon'd to prsent an acc:t of ye sd deced:ts estate did this day prsent a List of ye same at the time of his death about three years since as she alledges; but the same being imperfect & only recited, in a peticon to bestow ye same on her, & there being two of ye sd deced:ts Orph:s alive, for prevencon of an injury to them & for ye more Regular proceeding of the Court, It is Order'd, That Francis Mabury, Will: Dodson, Geo: Hunt & Hen: Voden [Vaden] doe between this & the next Court apprize what remaining estate of ye sd Davis's the sd Totty hath in his possession or they can come to ye Knowledge of & that ye sd Totty's Wife does prsent A full acc:t of ye sd estate of her Oath to ye next Court; Mr Peter Field is hereby requested & appointed to swear the sd Apprizers.
