    Notes:

    Spencer Carter is NOT linked by DNA to the Giles Carter Lines of Halifax Co. He is found in Halifax, upon his marriage to Verlinda Lucas. He is also found in Albermarle on the 1785 Federal Census. He is the s/o Frances Walters, d/o William. Frances Walters married Richard Carter and 2nd James Lucas. The known dna for Giles Carter Descendants is NOT a match to other descendants of Giles, nor the Goochland Carters, nor the Robert 'King' Carters. These descendants of Richard 'Gunsmith' Carter is R1b-08; descendants of Giles2, s/o Giles are R1a-02. Richard 'Gunsmith' Carter's parentage is still a question.
