      "Sometime after 1750, a Giles Carter settled in Prince William, and evidently was a member of the above family of Carter. His will, probated Mar 6, 1785, mentions sons, William, Samuel, David, Robert; and daughters Sarah Carter, Mary Dunaway, Matt Mitchell and Elizabeth Heald. William Carter, Jr. gave bond as tobacco inspector at Quantico, Feb 3, 1784, and again in 1799. 5 May 1794, William Carter and wife, Betty, sold to Jas. Smith a plantation called "Pope's Hill" purchased by William in 1790, from his brothers, Samuel and David, to whom it was devised by their father, Giles Carter. Wm. Carter's will was probated in Prince William Jan 14, 1810 and names wife Betty, and children, Mary Nickerson, John Carter (living in 1830) and Sarah, wife of Henry Fairfax. Henry Fairfax's will, probated in 1847 names children, Elizabeth, Henry, Mary, Sarah Allen, Jane Botts and the children of daughters, Delia and Harriett, whose surnames are not given. The inventories of the estates of Samuel and David Carter were recorded in 1820 and 1815."

      I have hit a wall with my Carter line. My last find was Obadiah Carter who was married to Louise (Woody) Carter. She was from Georgia we were told. They were married in Virginia, but the town is now in West Virginia. They moved to St. Charles Co. Missouri and had 4 children. William T, Charles S, Samuel H, and James. I am looking for any info from Obadiah back and any info on my Uncles William, Charles,and James. I know William lived and died in Alton Illinois. He had a bunch of children so I'm told. Would like to connect with anyone with info.
      Also, I took the DNA and found out I am related to Eli Carter out of Georgia.
