NOTE: On the 1890 Documents George T. Carter ALIAS Gravitt

This tidbit of information explains why the wife of Joseph A. Carter, their 2nd child, knew his Mother as Martha GRAVITT, as George was also known as George T. Gravitt. His wife, Martha Susan complete name is Martha Susan Gravitt GREEN. She is the d/o Susan H. Gravitt and Wm. Nathaniel GREEN.

George married Martha Susan Gravitt 'Susie/Sue' Green 10 Jan 1872, Halifax County, Va., Mt. Carmel District. Martha (daughter of William N. [Nathaniel] Green and Susan [Hunt] Gravitt) was born 18 Feb 1855, Halifax County, Virginia; died 7 Mar 1886, Halifax County, Virginia. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Susie Green marries George T. Carter about 1872; they have
8 children, 4 of which die in infancy, and he marries Sally Fanny [Sarah Frances] Green around 1887.

George T. Carter had two wives. Susie Gravitt is found on the death certificate as the mother of Joseph Alpha Carter, Sr.. Both George and Susie are listed as having been from Halifax County, Virginia. Later investigation shows the marriage record as Martha S. Green. An 1890 document shows George T. Carter AlIAS 'Gravitt' is the explanation of my grandmother's recollection. His second wife, Sallie Fanny Green is the sister of his first wife. In 1924 she inherits money from her uncle, John King Gravitt and the 3 of the 4 children of Geo. T. Carter and Sue Green are listed as heirs in this will, as well. By 1930 George T. Carter is listed as widower on the census.


Died:
Martha Susan Green is shown on the 1880 Census in the HH of her husband, George Turner Carter, and living adjacent to the HH of George's Parents, William & Betsy Turner Carter. It is the last time her name will appear on the Federal Census. By 1887 George has remarried, Sally Fannie Green, Susie's Sister. Bible Records for this family show the exact death date of Susan Carter, however, no death record can be located by the State of Virginia.
