    Name:
    Robert's wife Frances Walton is identified as the daughter of John Carter and Elizabeth by a legacy she received in her father's 1785 will. John Carter, by a 1773 deed of gift, gave each one of Frances Carter Walton's three children: John Carter Walton, Mary Walton and Elizabeth Walton, a slave, so all the children were born by that date.
