Albemarle Co. deed dated 12 Nov. 1760 shows that she, Elizabeth, w/o John Carter, was the daughter of John Gannaway Sr.:

John and Elizabeth's son Jacob named one of his children Elizabeth Gannaway Carter (she was mentioned in John's 1785 will as his granddaughter Betsy Gannaway Carter), and another of Jacob's descendants in Henrico Co. was named John Carter Gannaway Epes.

The other Carter is a William Carter. He is mentioned in the chancery documents in 1789 as the defendant against Onan Moody. Onan Moody was the illegitimate daughter (or son, not sure) of Frances Moody and Gerard Ellyson. Gerard's widow, Sarah (nee Crews), married William Carter in 1771. It was published in the Purdie and Dixon Gazette that she was 85 and he only 23! (Making William born in 1748). It also mentions that he is the son of John Carter of Henrico County. (This John Carter is the son of Theodrick Carter, the son of Giles Carter.) William had the following siblings:
1. Theodrick Carter m. Sally Eelbank in Lunenburg, VA in 1763
2. John Carter m. Anne
3. Frances Carter m. Robert Walton (son of Robert Walton and Mary Hughes, and brother to George Walton, signer of the Decl. of Ind.) in Charlotte County, VA
4. Sherwood Carter m. Frances
5. Jacob Carter m. Mary
I am not sure what happens to this William Carter, but I suspect he was widowed not long after (with a pocket full of cash). There are a couple of possibilities of which William Carter he is that turns up later in a different place.
1. William Carter married Mary Scott in Lunenburg County in 1779. He moves to Prince Edward County, where his will is found in 1812. (This seems likely, as then his brother Theodrick was married in the same county in 1763.)
2. William Carter married Jane Scott in Powhatan Co., VA in 1798.
3. William Carter married Sarah Overstreet in Goochland in 1773.
4. William Carter married Nancy Scott in Goochland in 1802.
