      Mary Carter, d/o Theodorick2 married Drury Scruggs. In Goochland 16 Nov 1742 Oaths by Theodrick Carter and John Scruggs with William Mayo proved the Will of William Randolph of Goochland. We presume John Scruggs to be the father of Drury and Theodorick Carter to be the s/o Giles2; Theodorick2 Carter is dead several years before this document is executed.
