8. CHRISTOPHER LAWSON CARTER, born at "Greenrock," Pittsylvania county, Va. Feb. 7, I784 died in Lincoln County, Missouri, Oct 7, I860. January 2, 1809, he was married in Pittsylvania to Mary, daughter of James and Frances Rogers Sawyers. She was born Sept. 27, 1791, and died on the old Carter place in Lincoln county, Dec 2, 1876. The descendants of Christopher L. Carter have from him the statement that his father, Thomas Carter, of "Greenrock? Pittsylvania, was a soldier in the Revolution, and they think that he was the Thomas Carter who enlisted March I0, 1777 for three years as a private in Captain John Dandridge's company, 1st Artillery Regiment, Continental Line, under Colonel Charles Harrison, and was assigned to service in the State of Virginia.
They also have the tradition that Christopher Lawson Carter and two of his brothers saw service in the War of 1812. I find from the Muster Rolls of the War of 1812, published in 1852, that Captain Edward Carter's troop of cavalry was attached to a regiment of United States Cavalry under Colonel P. Holcombe in the service of the United States from the 3rd to the 12th of Sep., 1814, and included the following Carters:
Captain Edward Carter, Sergeant Rawley W. Carter, Sergeant Christopher L. Carter and private Jesse Carter. They were probably all four the sons of Thomas Carter of "Greenrock"--two undoubtedly were.

to Missouri in the fall of 1850 by way of the Isthmus of Panama. In 1854 he removed his family to Waco, Texas, and a year later to Pale Pinto county, Texas, where he lived until
his death in July, 1888. During the war he was in the service of the State of Texas, but always on the frontier against the Indians. He was a large cattleman, and with
Simpson, Slaughter and others formed the Texas Cattle Raisers' Association, which has become the most complete association of its kind in the country. He was married in
