The heirs at law of the John Carter who died in Smith Co, Tn in 1803 but whose Will is filed in Russell Co. VA are all proven descendants of Peter and Judith Norris Carter out of Fauquier Co, VA. At least one of the children of Dale Carter who was killed at Blakemore's Fort in 1774, also appears to have claimed a portion of John Carter's estate. [Russell Co DBK 7 p. 131 ] showing a probability that this Dale was the son of Peter and Judith Norris Carter and not the son of Charles Sr. and Lucy Carter as has been claimed.

https://books.google.com/books/about/Marriage_Contract_of_John_Champe_Jr_and.html?id=4uiujwEACAAJ

Marriage contract of John Champe, Jr., of Lambs Creek, and Ann Carter of King George County. As part of the contract Ann received the slave Diana as a gift and John received land and unnamed slaves in Prince William County.

Died:
At Charles Carter Sr's. death in 1766 in Amherst Co. VA., he names five children. One daughter Susanna died and left a will in Washington Co., VA 15 January 1781. Elizabeth, as shown above, died in 1787, leaving Dale, John and Charles as the other children named. In 1797, the year of the death of Lucy Carter Blakemore, John Carter of Russell Co., VA. was appointed administrator of the estate of Elizabeth Carter [Russell Co. Law order Book 2 pg 379]. It would seem that under the laws of inheritance, Elizabeth had no estate until the death of her mother, and that estate would have passed to the 10 year old daughter who survived her mother by a few hours, and then to the child's father John Carter. -Margie Brown

CARTERS OF ?OAKLAND? PITTSYLVANIA.

9. JESSE CARTER, appeared in the Lancaster records next after the settlement of his father's estate as, "Jesse Carter of the Parish of Christ Church, Lancaster, "Schoolmaster" when on Dec. 8, 1749, he sold to Col. James Gordon 125 acres of land on Corotoman River that had descended to him from his grandfather, Capt. Thomas Carter. At this time he was unmarried, but in the next year he is said to have married Susan Satterwhite, or Satherwaite, of whose parentage no record has been located. That is a name that is found but occasionally in Virginia record, and Mr. Crozier in his Index to Southern Pedigrees of more than twenty thousand family histories and genealogical notes failed to find one of this family. By this marriage he had a son, Jessee and daughters, Margaret and Frances.
.................. ...........................................
This wife died and Jesse Carter was married to Mary Chattin, prior to Dec. 6, 1760, when she joined him in a deed to William Griggs for their home place on Corotoman River when they were about to remove to Cumberland county. Mary Chattin was probably a daughter of Joseph Chattin, of Lancaster, who was one of the processioners of the land in the parish in 1743. She was probably connected with the Chewning family as Chattin Chewning was a processioner in 1747.
............................................................
A search of the Lancaster records for wills of Chattin and Satterwhite might throw some light on the parentage of Jesse Carter's two wives. As said before, Jesse Carter removed his family from Lancaster about 1760-1761 to his part of his father's land in Cumberland county, where they lived until 1781, when they removed to Pittsylvania, where he was living in 1782 as the head of a family of ten whites and seventeen colored servants. In 1785 he purchased thirteen hundred acres of land lying on both sides of Bannister River, Pittsylvania, built a fine house, called the place "Oakland" and settled down for the rest of his life. This old place is now owned by his great grandson, Jesse Lawson Carter, and is situated about four miles from Chatham, the county seat. Jesse Carter of Oakland, made his will Dec. 11, 1805, probated Dec. 11, 1811. He left a fine estate in land, negroes, etc, to wife, Mary Chattin Carter, and his eight children, four of whom only shared in the residuary estate, as he had provided them their share of his property before he died. Jesse Carter had issue as follows:
11. Jesse Carter, died in 1815 in Caswell county, N. C.
12. Frances Carter, married James Hopkins of Pittsylvania.
13. Margaret, married Samuel Thompson of Pittsylvania.
14. Sarah, married Jeduthan Carter, of "Mt. View," Pittsylvania.
15. Thomas Chattin Carter, died I820 in Pittsylvania.
16. Joseph Carter, of "Oakland," died in 1838.
17. Mary Carter, was the second wife of James Hopkins.
18. John Carter, of "Sandy River," Pittsylvania.

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.

Christopher L. and Mary Sawyers Carter had issue eleven children:
80. Frances Carter, married Barton Hubbard, and has descendants in Missouri.

81. Pleasants Carter, died young.

82. Rebecca Carter, married Pines Shelton, and has descendants in Missouri.

83. James Sawyers Carter, born in 1814, married Mary J. Duncan, and had one son, Christopher W. Carter, who saw service in the Confederate army. He married Nannie Ross Dyer and moved to Texas in 1874. They had four children, Martha Pleasants, married a Mr. McLeod; Emner L.; Henry L, and Errol. All live at Seymour, Texas.

84. Jane Carter, married James Shelton, and had several sons in the Confederate army. She has descendants living near Waco, Texas.

85. Christopher Lawson Carter, Jr., born Nov. 4, 18I8, was but twelve years old when his father removed to Missouri. In 1848 he vent to the gold fields of California, returning
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
Lincoln county, Mo., on July 7, I842, to Anne Smith Ross, born Oct. 18, 1825, in Lincoln county, died at the Carter homestead in Pale Pinto county, Texas, Nov. 17, I835. They
had issue eleven children:
