Eliza's great-uncle John Carter (through her mother's line) was the father of Francis Watkins Carter, who built the home which is currently open for tours as Carter House Museum in Franklin, TN. One of her cousins was Confederate Lt. Theodorick "Tod" Carter, who died in a battle with Union troops on the lawn of the home during the Battle of Franklin, November 30, 1864. In a sad tale reminiscent of so many of the era, family fought family as Eliza's son John joined the Union in combat with Missouri's Militia Regiment 5, Company B.

John married Mary Michaux Cunningham Abt 1758, Halifax Co., Virginia Colony. Mary (daughter of Alexander Cunningham, Jr. and Easter Mary Michaux) was born 1740, St. Peters Parish, New Kent Co., Colonial Virginia; died 1781, Halifax Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

John Carter was born in St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co, VA on 26 AUG 1737, and baptized on 30 OCT 1737. This Parish is south of the York and Pamunkey Rivers and was also the home of the Waddill family.

John Carter's Will was executed 18 JUN 1781, and probated before the court held for Halifax Co., VA on 20 SEP 1781. The witnesses were Benjamin Hobson, David Bates, Noel Waddill, Theodrick Carter (Third) and Charles Carter, a son of Theodrick Carter(Third). The Executors named were his wife, Mary Carter, Captain James Turner, William Boyd and John Carter's brothers Richard and Theodrick (Third).

John Carter's three eldest children, Richard, Theo, and Robert filed a chancery suit in Halifax county in 1799 [19 years after the death of John] charging the Executors [Mary Carter, their mother] and Richard Carter, dec'd and his executor Susannah Powell (nee Carter) for monies not accounted for when Richard Carter bargained and sold land privately. Mary Carter (nee Cunningham) is still alive and gives testimony referring to Richard Carter's affidavit. Many pages of testimony follow demonstrating not only that money was paid to Richard, but never passed on to the family. The position of David Powell and Susannah is that the children were educated and provided for, out of the estate of their father, John Carter, dec'd. Robert appears to act as attorney and questions many witnesses. The suit is then refiled in Richmond County and continues. Polly Powell (nee Carter), wife of Mastin Powell and d/o Susannah Carter Powell (nee Bigger) testifies to angry words between Robert and Susannah, his aunt. The suit continues whereby Robert questions numerous witnesses as to the quality of his education, and of the ability of the estate of the dec'd John Carter to produce enough to keep the widow and children adequately. [it is obvious to this researcher that Robert is an ambitious, determined and combative individual and probably was of the same personality since his childhood, when he admits he would not be schooled.] He challenges that his education and that of his siblings was less than he considered their due. Both he and Theo, though, can write and sign their names, as does Susannah. [While the content of this matter is tedious reading, it offers more insight into the characters of this family, than previously seen.-mfe]

Joseph married Martha Ellington. Martha (daughter of David Ellington, Jr. and Martha Ann Tucker) was born 1736, Amelia County, Virginia; died 1780, Amelia Co., Virginia. [Group Sheet]
