• Notes

  JAMES GUTHRIE Apr 10, 2026, 12:27?PM There was something written by Lottie Carter that her mother was married or had taken up with a Mr. Wood but nothing could be found to verify such. Well, take a look here. Lottie's lack of information made me believe that her mother had moved away from Halifax County and she wasn't clear about her whereabouts. In 1894, Callie was 41 and still, likely, to be able to bear a child. Here is a Callie with a Mr. Wood and the child was named "Carter" Wood. The entry is in Albemarle County, Virginia. Stephanie's research found that the Callie Carter buried at Crossroads Church was Callie "Arrington" Carter and not Callie Carter Carter, wife of Thomas Oscar Carter. I suspect Thomas O. Carter died 1880-1890 and Callie, being a reasonably young woman, probably remarried. Lottie, her daughter, though her mother married a "Mr." Wood. Maybe this is the right Callie below: Name Carter Wood Sex Male Race White Event Type Birth Event Date Event Place Albemarle, Virginia, United States Event Place (Original) Albemarle Carter Wood's Parents and Siblings Callie Wood Mother F J D Wood Father

Giles Carter of Turkey Island (1635-1701); to Theodrick Carter, Sr. (First) and Elizabeth Webb of Turkey Island, Henrico Co; to Theodrick Carter II and Anne Waddill; to Richard "Died Young" Carter and Susannah Bigger; to Lemuel Carter (b. 1781 in Halifax Co VA, d July 7, 1861 in Caswell Co, NC) and Martha "Patsy" Powell of Halifax Co, VA. At this point, our ancestral lines divide and follow two different sons of Lemuel and Patsy. Yours goes through William George "Buck" Carter of Halifax Co, VA and mine extends from Richard Carter (b abt. 1803, d abt. 1861 in Halifax Co, VA) and Catherine Brandon (b abt. 1800, d August 22, 1842) of Halifax Co, VA. Richard and Catherine were married on July 15, 1822 in Halifax Co, VA. From Richard and Catherine, my line then goes to Thomas Oscar ("Tom") Carter (b bef 1831 d?) of Halifax Co, VA who married Sally "Callie" Carter (1853-August 8, 1887) of Albemarle Co, VA on December 11, 1871. Sally/Callie is buried at Crossroads Baptist Church in Turbeville, Halifax Co, VA and we visited her grave last summer. Tom and Callie are my paternal great-great grandparents. Then on to their son, Walter Raleigh Carter (b April 17, 1874 - d November 29, 1970) and wife Lottie Sylvia Carter (b August 26, 1881, d July 18, 1937) who were married on January 17, 1898 in Milton, Caswell Co, NC. Their firstborn child was my grandfather, Henry Eugene Carter, Sr. (b Dec. 24, 1898 and d Jan. 1, 1986) who married my grandmother, Martha Sue Overton (b Dec. 23, 1896 and d Jul. 2, 1988) on Dec. 17, 1921. I am the daughter of their firstborn child, a son, Henry E. Carter, Jr. (b Dec. 23, 1922 and d. Oct. 21, 1991) who married my mother, Mary Astor Motley (b Feb. 3, 1924 and d. Dec. 25, 2005) on Aug. 30, 1947. NOTE: Both my grandparents and my parents lived in Pittsylvania Co, VA and I was born in Chatham.
