  [S100] Internet Source, http://danielsfamilytree.com/bio.php?id=30868&cs=brown&lang=english. JOHN CARTER, second son, died in Stafford prior to 1785. The Carter MSS. says of him:"John married first a Miss Payne and had sons Richard, Merriman and Josiah, and a daughter Ann. He then married a Miss Butler and settled in Stafford. They had sons Harris, John and Robert, and daughters Molly, Fanny, Kitty and Petty. John was born at my grandpa Smith's when his parent; were returning to Stafford from a visit in Lancaster. The date is in grandpa's old Bible first day of May, 1752. Aunt Fanny was very fond of the last Mrs. Carter and her daughters, and for many years made them a yearly visit in Stafford. After the death of the old folks Harris lived at the home place. The other sons an moved to the southern counties." We have no other data of the first wife of John Carter but the names of her sons, Richard and Merriman, suggests that she may have been a daughter of either Richard, William, John, or George Payne, who were the sons of William Payne, Sr, and his wife Susannah Merriman, only daughter of Richard Merriman, Gent., and his wife Susannah. Rich'd Merriman?s will was proved in Lancaster June 10, I696. John Carter married (2) Mary Butler of Stafford County, on Feb. 4, 1745. May 12, 1749, John and Mary Carter of Stafford, sold to brother Josiah Carter of Lancaster, 95 acres of land on Corotoman River part of a tract of land left by their father Henry Carter "Gent:? to his eldest son, Gainy Carter who, dying without issue, the land descended to John Carter as next eldest son of Henry Carter. John Carter had issue: m.1. Unknown Payne I. Richard Carter. No data. II. Merriman Carter. IV. Josiah Carter. V. Anne Carter. No data. m.2. Unknown Butler: III. John Carter born May, I752, died after 1840. VI. Harris Carter. The census of 1785 shows that Harris Carter was living in Stafford County, with a wife and four children. VII. Robert Carter. No data. VIII. Mary Carter. No data. IX. Frances Carter. No data. X. Catharine Carter. No data. XI. Elizabeth Carter. No data. The Carter MSS. says that all the sons except Harris removed to the southern counties. I find traces of a Merry Carter, Josiah Carter, and John Carter in several of the southern counties, who finally settled in Bedford County, and doubtless were the sons of John Carter of Stafford.
