Wm. McClanahan, Sr., died about 1820,[1819] from amputation of the leg, rendered necessary by disease [likely diabetes] which began in the foot. His wife, the mother of all his children, survived him, and died about 1824. In person she was slender, and in old age suffered from palsy in the head. They both died in the old homestead and were buried in the old burying ground near by. This venerable cemetery was the only one within a radius of sixteen miles, as Mrs. Betsy McClanahan "personally testified to Mrs. Colonel Thomas Lewis, and according to her memory, "the whole hill was covered with graves." Mrs. "Betsy McClanahan" personally testified to Mrs. Blanche White also, that a pine tree had grown up between the head and foot stones of the grave of her father-in law, Colonel Wm. McClanahan. Mrs. White remembers this tree. It was blown down, and a snag of its stump (root) may now (1894) be seen between these stones.

After the death of Mrs. Wm. McClanahan, Sr., the homestead was inherited by her grandson, Charles McClanahan, who sold it to William, son of James McClanahan, who sold it to Colonel J. R. Richardson, who sold it to Thomas Tosh, who sold it to Elijah McClanahan, son of Green and grandson of William, the senior. He [Elijah] afterwards (1860) bought the Big Spring mill on the place and removed a deed of trust that had long been on it. His widow, Emma S. McClanahan, bought it at the sale, and sold it to a land company in 1889.

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.
