    • The DAR Record that says Elizabeth Carter b 1787 (supposedly a daughter of Waddill Carter and Mildred Wade) is shown born two years after her father Waddill died. There is a mistake here. Nancy Elizabeth Carter, d/o Waddill & Mildred Wade Carter is thought to be born in 1765, which would put her the right age to have married John Boisseau. There are other Waddill Carters in the Halifax Virginia and Caswell Co., NC area, which are situated very close to one-another. Unless there is a second daughter of Waddill and Mildred Wade Carter whose name is Elizabeth, I cannot agree with the DAR record until further evidence is established. The records of the DAR are being investigated.

    1. [S100] Internet Source, http://oliverdreams.tripod.com/AnnWaddill.html.
      Waddill Carter-4, died about 1782 in Prince Edward County. He married Mildred Wade and had a daughter, Nancy Carter-5, who married John Bissequ in 1786. Her marriage bond mentioned that her father was deceased. His will was executed April 6, 1782, and probated in July, 1782. His other children were James Carter-5, Theodorick Carter-5, John Carter-5, and at least two other daughters.
