      Linda Dannette Carter Kryshtalowych: Trish Taylor Since you have an ancestry account, go to the Search option then scroll down to Card Catalog. Then do a search for "The descendants of Capt. Thomas Carter of Bar, Lancaster, VA (descendants of John Carter of Lancaster) then find pages 48 & 49. Childrens names are listed and Meredith isn't among them but that's to say there wasn't a Meridith. The name could have been omitted for various reasons.
