ALSO I saw that you are working on Leavells from Virginia. You may have this information already but I just moved to Fredericksburg, Virginia and I live in Spotsylvania County in a 600 home development called Fox Point. The area was previously a farm and the owner was a Leavell. There is a family cemetery located within our housing project. It is small - the size of lot.

NOTE: On the 1890 Documents George T. Carter ALIAS Gravitt

George T. Carter had two wives. Susie Gravitt is found on the death certificate as the mother of Joseph Alpha Carter, Sr.. Both George and Susie are listed as having been from Halifax County, Virginia. Later investigation shows the marriage record as Martha S. Green. An 1890 document shows George T. Carter AlIAS 'Gravitt' is the explanation of my grandmother's recollection. His second wife, Sallie Fanny Green is the sister of his first wife. In 1924 she inherits money from her uncle, John King Gravitt and the 3 of the 4 children of Geo. T. Carter and Sue Green are listed as heirs in this will, as well. By 1930 George T. Carter is listed as widower on the census.
