"Sometime after 1750, a Giles Carter settled in Prince William, and evidently was a member of the above family of Carter. His will, probated Mar 6, 1785, mentions sons, William, Samuel, David, Robert; and daughters Sarah Carter, Mary Dunaway, Matt Mitchell and Elizabeth Heald. William Carter, Jr. gave bond as tobacco inspector at Quantico, Feb 3, 1784, and again in 1799. 5 May 1794, William Carter and wife, Betty, sold to Jas. Smith a plantation called "Pope's Hill" purchased by William in 1790, from his brothers, Samuel and David, to whom it was devised by their father, Giles Carter. Wm. Carter's will was probated in Prince William Jan 14, 1810 and names wife Betty, and children, Mary Nickerson, John Carter (living in 1830) and Sarah, wife of Henry Fairfax. Henry Fairfax's will, probated in 1847 names children, Elizabeth, Henry, Mary, Sarah Allen, Jane Botts and the children of daughters, Delia and Harriett, whose surnames are not given. The inventories of the estates of Samuel and David Carter were recorded in 1820 and 1815."

Giles married Mary/Martha Smith. Mary/Martha (daughter of Obediah/Obadiah Isaac Smith and Mary Peartree Burk/Burke) was born Abt 1750, Henrico County, Virginia; died 1821, Grandville County, North Carolina. [Group Sheet]

Image 1816 second page of Poval's will. Looks like it was signed Poval Carter so he may have written the will himself. Younger children Ann, Molly and Robert are mentioned on this page to have items after wife's death.

Note The Witness to the will Obadiah Smith is Son Giles Carter's father-in-Law. Giles Married Mary Smith and had several sons that settled in the Richmond area. Paul Jesperson's wife is a descendant of this family and there is another descendant who tested his dna on 23 and me. The test was supposed to indicate R1a1a....haven't seen these results. Jesperson was supposed to have a male ancestor to be tested, but I don't think he ever did.

Image pc001 Is an administrators account of Poval Carter Son of Daniel Carter concerning the Will of Daniel Carter Son John (B) Carter who lived on an adjoining farm witnessed the Will. John and Susannah were not named in the will Daniel was more concerned with his unmarried daughters . Daniel's life Jane was deceased by the time of the will.

We know that Poval Carter of Henrico County had a son Robert from his LWT recorded on page 1815 of Volume 4 of the Miscellaneous Records of Henrico Co., Va. This will recites " Item, I give & Bequeath this Land & houses where I now live after the death of my Wife to my son Robert to him & his heirs. " We also know that this Robert Carter was born after 1744 because he was under 21 years of age when in May 1765 Robert, orphan of Poval Carter, was bound out by Henrico Parish churchwardens. [HCOB 1763-1767/454]. This makes this Robert Carter of the appropriate age to be a candidate for the Robert Carter, in Henrico, to marry Susannah Evans in Goochland.
