      In order to get to Amelia County, I will have to fill in a little back story first. In each paragraph, I am uncertain if it is the same George Carter or a related (father-son) Carter.

      There is a George Carter, who inherits land in the will of Richard Womack at Gilly's [possibly Grilly] Mill in Henrico County, Virginia (in a part that later became part of Chesterfield County, VA)in 1725. It seems likely that George Carter was Womack's son-in-law. He then immediately sold this land to Thomas Jefferson II (grandfather of the future President). Jefferson bequeathes this land in his will, written in 1725 to his daughter Judith Farrar, wife of George Farrar. (This land was adjacent to additional lands that were owned by Matthew Ligon, father of Richard Ligon, 1745 - 1820, of Amelia/Nottoway.) About 1760, the Farrars sold this land and moved to Mecklenburg to be near Judith's brother, Field Jefferson.

      In 1745, John Hubbard left his will in Amelia County (WB 1/34). He had been married to Sarah Stone. Both were originally from Caroline Co., VA. A George Carter was appointed guardian to three of Hubbard's children. James Coleman co-securitized this bond. Sarah Stone Hubbard then married John Carter (assumed to be George's brother) of Caroline County, where they lived. John Carter dies in 1750.

      In 1771, a George Carter makes his will in Mecklenburg Co., VA. It mentions his wife Lucy (daughter of John Marshall and Tabitha Clanton), a brother John, a nephew John, and son Charles, then leaves residue of estate to sons [plural], but names no other children. However it is known that Lucy and George Carter had at least two children: Jesse Carter and Catherine Carter. Catherine married Abner Farrar, the grandson of George Farrar (mentioned above). Lucy remarries to George Malone. Future litigation involving Lucy Malone and the estate of her brother-in-law John Carter took place in 1792; the estate was in Stafford County, VA.

      A George Carter appears on the Personal Tax List in Amelia in 1790 with Jacob Williamson; Jacob Williamson was married to a woman named Hannah (last name unknown). On the 1782 Amelia Tax List Jacob Williamson Sr. and Jr. are adjacent Robert Carter.Sarah Williamson, daughter of Jacob Jr. married Henry Anderson in 1806 and had a son, born in 1808 named Robert Carter Anderson. This might mean that Jacob Sr.'s wife Hannah was a daughter of the neighbor Robert Carter and George Carter could have been her brother. (A land transaction for 202 acres Mallorys Creek in Amelia in 1773 it bordered the lands of Henry Anderson and Richard Ligon, mentioned above.)

      In 1803 in Charlotte County, VA, a George Carter makes his will, in which he names his son Richard Carter, son-in-law Eli Roby, and wife Mary; it is wintessed by Clement Read, Daniel Hendrick and Coleman Carter. Coleman Carter married Elizabeth Smith in Charlotte in 1794 and then remarried to Mary Wingo in Amelia in 1806. (It is unknown if the inspiration behind Coleman Carter's name is related to James Coleman, mentioned above with a George Carter in 1745.)

      Looking for concrete links between these men.
