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 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.
