• 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.

Notes: Why is George Hunt named as security with Thomas TOTTY regarding the estate of the Orphans of Thomas Davis? What tie did George Hunt have with Thomas TOTTY? Could it have something to do with the widow Mary Davis who married Thomas TOTTY? It has been thought by many TOTTY researchers, that Mary was nee Carter, daughter of Giles & Hannah CARTER who was named in his will as being married to Thomas DAVIS. However some questions as to Mary being a Carter has been voiced due to her age. ANY help on this puzzel would be greatly appreciated!
