to Holly, Richard, me

You need to look at this Eggisland website and not Dick Zieman?s Daniels tree for actual documents on the Giles Carter line. Steve Eggleston is Mary Frances Eggleston's husband who maintains the server. Please note the documents attached to Richard Carter, Lemuel Carter Sr and Lemuel Carter Jr

I think the birth date for Lemuel Carter Sr who dies in Caswell County, is probably more like 1780 ? 82. If we believe the 1850 Census of Halifax County, Virginia, where I think the ages are inaccurate, then he would not have been a minor if born in 1774.... when his father died ca 1796. And his wife shows as born 1790 which would make her 11 years old if Lemuel Cartrer Sr and Martha ?Patsy? Carter actually married in 1801 in Halifax, County. In the 1860 Census in Caswell County, North Carolina, Lemuel Carter shows as L. Carter and it states a birth age similar to that in the 1850 Census in Halifax County. The probate records in Caswell County show this is the same Lemuel Carter Sr. The probate records images for Caswell County on this site show show Lemuel Carter Sr. had a son named John and Lemuel Carter. Lemuel Jr. had a son John Flint who also had a son John Flint Carter. These Lemuel Carter attachments in the tree are not transcriptions and are actual images which is really fantastic.

Mastin, son of David Powell (d.1801) was a respected member of the community. I don't know why he was executor of a Smith estate unless it was because of his status in the community. He married a Carter[ Polly,d/oRichard] and his brother (David, Jr.) married a Smith. Perhaps that is where the connection came form. David Jr married (I think) Sarah Wynne Smith but I don't know anything about her family.
That community was centered around the present town of Halifax, Virginia which is only a few miles from South Boston. Mastin later settled along the Dan River between Danville and South Boston where he ran a tavern, had a race track and lots of kids. A good portion of the Powells in north central NC descend from Mastin and his wife Elizabeth [his wife is Mary O. Carter, d/o Richard and Susannah Bigger]. I do know that David and Sarah moved to NC shortly after their marriage. Mastin's oldest son, Carter Powell, was a wealthy landowner in the vicinity of Milton, NC.

Mastin was my 3rd G grandfather. Interesting family history ... his father was David Powell, hiw mother was Mary Epps Powell (2nd cousin to Thomas Jefferson). Mary died and David took in and maried a widow , Susannah Carter, with several young children. Mastin and Susannah's daughter Polly hit it right off and were married in 1796 when Polly was probably about 15. Mastin was 20. Never found a marriage record, suspect they were spirited away to NC (just across the river) for a shotgun marriage. David died in 1801, Susannah burned his will (we think) and claimed the widow's share of David's considerable estate. Mastin (probably born Martin but never used the right name) moved to another area of Halifax County and built a stagecoach inn with a bar and a racetrack. He raised a lot of tobacco and made a lot of money. He and Polly had lots of kids. Eventually Susannah died and Mastin was appointed executor of Davids's estate in 1815. I descend from mastin's youngest son, William Jefferson Powell. North central North Carolina is populated with descendants of mastin's other kids, particularly his first-born, Carter Glass Powell who was a prolific planter in Caswell county.
Would like to exchange information with other descendants of Mastin's grandfather, Edward Powell of halifax County VA.
