PATRIOT Waddill Carter

Notes:

Nancy Waddill Carter (who married Thompson) had a brother, Waddill Carter. I have a copy of Waddill Carter's will from 1782, in which he mentions his "young son John." I am suspecting (but have not proven) that this John may be my long lost John Carter for whom I have spent years searching.

Here is what I know of my family (taken from a family ledger owned by William below and court records):

John Carter 25 March 1775 - 17 December 1852 married 21 March 1821 Oney Pollard 3 Sept. 1790 - after 1850
His children were:
1. William R. Carter 16 Sept. 1809 - 7 Feb. 1886 married 4 Feb. 1846 Mary Elizabeth Pollard 1 May 1829 - 1878
2. Beverly Atwood Carter 3 July 1813 - 17 Sept. 1862 at the
Battle of Sharpsburg (unmarried)
3. Mary Elizabeth Carter 21 July 1821 - after 1880 married James Davis 16 Jan. 1799 - 8 Sept. 1845

My John Carter first shows up on Amelia County Census
Records in 1820. There is a John Carter on the 1810 Census in Prince Edward who is described as being married and with one infant son (which would match my John's description). It is clear to me that John was married to another woman before he married Oney Pollard in Amelia in 1821, since all three of his children were born before then.
I have been somewhat hung up on the middle name of one of John's sons: Atwood. There are not many Atwoods in Virginia at this time. They seem to either be in Culpepper County (and they all move to present day West Virginia) or in Prince Edward County. Although I have not been able to find intermarriage between the Carters and the Atwoods, I have made this link: James Atwood dies in PEC in 1771. His will is witnessed by James Wade and Charles Wade. James and Charles Wade are the father and brother of Mildred Wade, who married Waddill Carter around 1765 in PEC. The name Atwood is too obscure (unlike say "Franklin") for there not to have been anyone to have known somebody of that name. -Peyton Carter on GenForum

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.
