Two Richard Carters are found in Antrim Parish [Halifax Co., VA] in the early records.

One Richard is noted as a Gunsmith is then found with Frances as his wife until he dies [bef Jul 1787].

The second a Tailor. Richard Carter, a Tailor is proved to have married Susannah Bigger in Prince Edward Co., and later moved to Halifax Co., VA

By 1774 another Richard is noted in deeds with a wife, Mary Ann. She is believed to be the Granddaughter of Susanna Carter; now proved by dna analysis NOT to be of the Giles Carter lines.

In the 1785 First Census of the United States; all three Richards are shown and labeled (GS), (T), (S) plus 5 other Richard Carters with no notations.



9 Feb 1779 (PDB5/149) from George Carter of P, [Pittsylvania] to Samuel Atkinson of Cumberland Co., for 1000~, 450 acres in P on the branches of the Lower Double Cr. of Dan River, bounded by pine pointers near the old road, then to Colo Wilson, the Great Branch, Richd Carter. Signed - George Carter. Wit - Richd Carter, Robert Waltrs, John Atkinson, Mary, the wife of the sd George Carter, relinquished her right of dower to the lands within mentioned. Recorded 20 Apr 1779. [Richard Carter GS is dead in July 1778, as his inventory is returned, therefore this is Richard (Tailor)] The implication of this record is that both families of Richard the Tailor and Richard the Gunsmith Carter are acquainted, as Richard Gunsmith could not have witnessed this deed after his death.




Richard Carter's Daughter, Mary Frances, married Frederick Miller. Frederick Miller testifies in the Chancery matter of John Carter's estate when the Legatees file suit for equal division of the land and slaves. This occurs 19 years after his death; presumably when the youngest son reaches age 21. We believe Frederick Miller would not testify unless he is a family member.

Richard married Frances Walters. Frances (daughter of William Walters and Susannah McBee/Magby/Mocobee/Mocaboy/McGehee/McGregor) was born Abt 1736, Brunswick Co., Virginia; died Aft 1803, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

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.




Name:
I expect she is Mary Frances; she names her daughter so.

Died:
Her marriage to James Lucas

Notes:

Married:
NOTE: The name Ewell is passed down this line for several generations. It is even misspelled as Yewel in one case. This is further evidence of Frances Walters identity.

Land: Four of William Walters' children were adopted out to Thomas and Robert Walters (Waters). Halifax County, Virginia, Orphans/Bound Children 1760-62 (part 1), March Court 1760: "Ordered that the Churchwardens of Antrim Parish do bind Elisabeth and Walter, children of William Waters, to Thomas Waters & William and Ruth, two other children of said William, to Robert Waters."
This does not say that William Walters was deceased. Possibly wife Elizabeth had died [her last record was in 1737 in Brunswick Co] and William was not able either because of age or disability to care for the children, who could have been any age up to 21.

Land: William Walters' wife was named Elizabeth as evidenced by some of the early records. Her maiden name is unknown.

Land: His proved children are Thomas, the son who provided his care as evidenced by the Antrim Parish Records. And the four children place in the care of Thomas & Robert Walters 'Elizabeth, Walter, William, and Ruth. There were probably two other sons, the Robert named as put in charge of William and Ruth, as well as the John Walters who appears to have lived on part of the 800 acres patented by William Walters in the extreme northeast corner of Halifax County.

Another land owner in this area mentioned with various surveys of John/Thomas is John Coles:
Maj. John Coles, decd Order of Council bordered the 250 acres tract of John Walters, the land of Mary Coles, his widow, was also next to John Walters. Maj. Coles also had 300 acres joining his Order of Council surv 16 Apr 1748

Possible Conclusions:

William Walters owned 224 acres on the Meherrin River in what was then Brunswick. He likely bought this land between 1728 after which year the deeds of Brunswick being kept in Prince George were lost and before 1732 when Brunswick begin to keep its own records. Walters sold this tract to Drury Stith in May of 1737.

He then took out patents, 1742 & 1745 on land South of the Staunton R, probably NE corner of what is today Halifax Co. Patenting was a lengthy process and he may have lived in this location for several years - he could in fact have been there since he sold out in Brunswick Co. He was forced to mortgage these tracts in early 1746. It is possible that he was never able to perfect these grants and may not have done the necessary cultivation and the land reverted to the King. The land may have been sold by the gentlemen holding the mortgage. It may have been sold by William Walters himself and we have never found the deeds of sale. This appears to be land near that of John Cobbs on Priss/Price Creek.
Both John Walters and Thomas Walters will enter and survey land in this same area. [Theirs could not be the exact land as that of William Walters unless it had reverted back and was no longer shown as belonging to anyone, since John & Thomas made entries.] Johns deeds of sale after he had gone to Kentucky appear to be some of this same land of his. I think Thomas likely did not ever live here - he may not have kept the land or used it for rental. John also entered land in the Birches Crk area near Robert but I don't think he ever lived there - perhaps further research in the deeds will eventually tell us more. Maybe the brothers looked after each other's investments.

Although not found in the Entry Book, William had 400 acres surveyed on Double Creek in May of 1752. This survey was near his son Thomas, as well as William Russell who had sued William Walters back in 1746. This survey was transferred to Joseph Terry in 1764, after the death of William - apparently William had never applied for the patent, but in all probability he lived on the land in the meantime. [Remember this: a settler did not owe tax on this land until it was patented - good reason for foot-dragging.] This explains why he was near enough to Thomas for the Parish to pay Thomas for keeping William in his last illness and burying him. Robert Walters appears on another page of the Surveys, living next to his father-in-law William McBee. His survey for 285 acres was on 18 Apr 1747. He was some East of the land of Thomas & William but not all that far. Given that John was in the extreme NE corner of the county some distance away, may explain why Thomas & Robert were given the care of the children of William Walters. They were simply near.
