      Notes on The Brooklyn Carter's and the Elmo Tavern
      Theoderick Carter , III , great-great grandfather of Nathaniel H. Wooding , wrote a will dated July 1805 , Book 7 page 152. He did not mention his homeplace.
      Alexander Carter , a brother of Nathaniel Carter , wrote a Will dated January 11 1826 . The following is extracted from it "At the death of my wife my will is that my lands consisting of three tracts , two in Halifax and one in Pittsylvania , shall be sold in the most advisable manner and the money arising from such sale together with my Negroes and every particle of my estate except my home , which was willed to me by my father ...... my home I give to my son Theoderick."
      Samuel Carter's will dated February 1836 is in Will Book 17 , page 597. Item 4 ,"I lend to my wife the tract of land whereon I live during her life and at her death I give to my son Philemon."
      Philemon B. Carter sold to Thomas Haynie 100 acres of land for $ 2,250.00 on September 24 , 1860. References ? the Description are to the Danville Road , Carter's Mill Road and Marable's Line fence. A 30 by 40- foot burial ground is reserved.
      In Respect to Samuel Carter operating a Tavern in Court Orders Minute Book I , page 140 , in year 1821 , he is granted permission to keep a house of private entertainment. This permission was renewed a number of times.
      Theoderick Carter , III was Commissioner of Revenue , Southern District , Justice of Peace 1782 and Sheriff 17??. He was also great grandfather to Mrs. David Webb and to Miss Louise Haney's??? mother.This makes Dr. N. H. Wooding kin to ???.
