  [S100] Internet Source, http://www.joepayne.org/HoddingCarter.htm. Ancestor?s of Hodding Carter, III Source "The Carter Family" by Kim Carter Stewart Norris Carter was born Nov. 8, 1748, the son of Peter and Judith Norris Carter, in Fauquier Co., VA, a brother to Job Carter, Norris married Agnes Allen. It is possible, but unproven, that Agnes may have been married before to a Taylor and widowed. Norris and Agnes had ten known children. The exact date that Norris Carter came to the frontier is unknown. It is known that he signed the petition for forming Russell County, VA. on Dec. 9, 1785. Norris and his family lived for a time in Fort Blackmore, VA. His original land grant lay on both sides of the Clinch River and adjoined that of Benjamin Pendleton. Norris lived most of his life on the south side of the river, but on Nov. 17, 1805, bought 72 acres adjoining his land at the mouth of Cove Creek from Robert Mitchell. Mitchell had bought this tract from John Carter whose patent was dated April 1, 1783. To reach his homestead on the south side, one must cross the swinging bridge at Slant, turn left on a road which comes to an end about a mile away, and then take a short walk to the knoll where a very old house is standing. This log house is believed to be the very house that Norris built himself. He appeared to have lived the latter part of his life on the north side of the Clinch though and probably died there between June 7 and Aug. 13, 1816 Agnes survived him. Both are buried on the south side of the river. http://members.tripod.com/don.mckinney/johnpendleton.html Rev John Pendleton was born between 1782/1792 & was the son of Benjamin Pendleton, a Revolutionary War veteran who left Amherst County Virginia during the 1780?s and settled in southwest Virginia along the Clinch River of what is now Scott County. The Pendleton ancestors originally came from Norwich, England and settled in Virginia during the 1660's. Benjamin married Frances Carter who was killed in 1791 during an indian attack at Mocassin Gap near the Clinch River. He is believed to have married his wife?s sister Sarah Carter a few months later. Frances & Sarah Carter were daughters of Peter & Judith (Norris) Carter who also came from the Amherst County, VA area, settling in the Clinch River area at same time as the Pendleton family.
