Notes:

Associates at Frederick County, Maryland include Mockoboys, (along with John Garrott and Thomas Odell and Charles Thomas Philpott). By the way, I once told you that John Garrott Sr. was a member of the Associators. I can't prove it but I think it was actually John Garrott Jr. The name on the list did not have Sr. or Jr. which, as you know, usually indicates that there was only one living. JG Sr. probably died the end of 1775. I think the list was made in 1776 and covered a time period that included both 1775 and 1776

Notes:

Associators at Frederick County, Maryland (along with John Garrott and Thomas Odell and Charles Thomas Philpott). By the way, I once told you that John Garrott Sr. was a member of the Associators. I can't prove it but I think it was actually John Garrott Jr. The name on the list did not have Sr. or Jr. which, as you know, usually indicates that there was only one living. JG Sr. probably died the end of 1775. I think the list was made in 1776 and covered a time period that included both 1775 and 1776

Notes:

Frances Carter, Widow of Richard GS Carter married James Lucas, the father of her son's wife [Spencer Carter, m. Verlinda Lucas, d/o James.]

Son, Charles Ewell Carter names daughter Lucy Walters Carter; his wife Kesiah Walters, and Frances Carter (nee Walters) are relatives. Moreover, after studying this family for many years and observing the naming patterns employed by them, I have concluded that Frances Walters [wife of Richard Carter, Gunsmith] is very likely the granddaughter of Immigrant, Charles Ewell. The name Ewell is passed down for several generations among her descendants, as is the Magby name for her grandmother, Susannah Magby.

By proving who she is NOT, Frances Walters, wife of the Gunsmith. She is not Frances Neal; the Neals located in this part of Halifax are of the 'Beaverpond of Amelia Neals' The d/o William and Martha Neal married Samuel Carter. His daughter, Louisiana Franklin, married Thomas David Neal of the same family of Beaverpond Neals. So there was an association between the Carters and these Neals; but not to the Gunsmith, and certainly not to the Daniel Neales.

I also considered the Watkins of Chickhomany Creek and Swift Creek; location of Giles families very early, but no found connection to the Gunsmith.

Some member of the Walters family is shown singed, [witness] on every document signed by Richard and George and Frances Carter. [denotes a family member]

The Walters are documented with 4 Magby wives. Why else would Richard Elijah Carter, s/o Spencer Carter name one of his children with the middle name Magby, if his grandmother, Frances Carter is not a Magby. [The Magbys are Scottish immigrants who travel from Charles Co., MD]

This preponderance of circumstantial evidence and thorough research into the families around her, has led me to conclude Frances Walters married Richard Gunsmith Carter and after his death, James Lucas. She is the daughter of William Walters and Susannah Magby [Mockbee, etc]

Son, Charles Ewell Carter marries back into the Walters.
