  • Notes 
    • http://genforum.genealogy.com/carter/messages/14608.html

      The difficulty of tracing the genealogical ramifications of this numerous Lancaster county family- is enhanced by the fact that it sprang from two fountain-heads, Col. John Carter of "Corrotoman" and Capt. Thomas Carter of "Barford". These gentlemen were undoubtedly related. The following notes, which are confined to the points of contact of the Carters and Paynes, are based on Court records, on articles in W .M., on the excellent Carter Genealogy by Dr. Joseph Lyon Miller, and on my correspondence with members of my family related to the Carters. George Payne (3) m. Sarah, dau. of Mr. John Carter of We. Co. and w. Anne Claytor. Mr. and Mrs. Carter had 11 children-Mary, m. Presley Neale < 1783; Robert, m. Mrs. Nancy Spilman 1795; Anne, m. David Annandale; ,Frances, Samuel, Jane, John, George, Richard, Lucy, and Presley; not chronologically arranged. John Carter, Sr., d. intestate 1782 in We. Co. I have not been able to trace his ancestry. His widow's will is dated 1789 (1789). Presley Neale's will is dated 1815 (1815); his dau. Nancy m. James Payne(C-V-IO).
