Notes:

Nancy Waddill Carter (who married Thompson) had a brother, Waddill Carter. I have a copy of Waddill Carter's will from 1782, in which he mentions his "young son John." I am suspecting (but have not proven) that this John may be my long lost John Carter for whom I have spent years searching.

Here is what I know of my family (taken from a family ledger owned by William below and court records):

John Carter 25 March 1775 - 17 December 1852 married 21 March 1821 Oney Pollard 3 Sept. 1790 - after 1850
His children were:
1. William R. Carter 16 Sept. 1809 - 7 Feb. 1886 married 4 Feb. 1846 Mary Elizabeth Pollard 1 May 1829 - 1878
2. Beverly Atwood Carter 3 July 1813 - 17 Sept. 1862 at the
Battle of Sharpsburg (unmarried)
3. Mary Elizabeth Carter 21 July 1821 - after 1880 married James Davis 16 Jan. 1799 - 8 Sept. 1845

My John Carter first shows up on Amelia County Census
Records in 1820. There is a John Carter on the 1810 Census in Prince Edward who is described as being married and with one infant son (which would match my John's description). It is clear to me that John was married to another woman before he married Oney Pollard in Amelia in 1821, since all three of his children were born before then.
I have been somewhat hung up on the middle name of one of John's sons: Atwood. There are not many Atwoods in Virginia at this time. They seem to either be in Culpepper County (and they all move to present day West Virginia) or in Prince Edward County. Although I have not been able to find intermarriage between the Carters and the Atwoods, I have made this link: James Atwood dies in PEC in 1771. His will is witnessed by James Wade and Charles Wade. James and Charles Wade are the father and brother of Mildred Wade, who married Waddill Carter around 1765 in PEC. The name Atwood is too obscure (unlike say "Franklin") for there not to have been anyone to have known somebody of that name. -Peyton Carter on GenForum

CARTER FAMILY GENEALOGY FORUM, Peyton Carter Mildred Wade married Waddill Carter c.1765. They had five children together:1. James Carter2. Theodrick Carter3.
Elizabeth Carter4. Mildred Wade Carter, who married Anderson Wade in 1799 (See note from Carol Clemmer)5. John Carter. Waddill died in 1782 and Mildred remarried in 1790 to Robert Anderson. Apparently, Robert Anderson died in 1802 and Mildred Anderson remarried AGAIN to Joseph Lewis in 1803 (as detailed in Anderson's estate papers).

From http://www.virginians.com/t.htm?7076 Waddill Carter married Mildred, likely Mildred Wade. Virginia reimbursed Carter for bacon and beef he provided during the Revolution. Milley was head of a household of nine whites in Prince Edward County in 1785. She married second Robert Anderson 19 April (bond) 1790, and third, Charles Joseph Lewis 9 October 1803.

Notes:

Theodrick Carter, II and Anne Waddill were the parents of Nancy Waddill Carter. Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill. William was elected vestryman of St. Peter's, on June 1, 1704, and served in
this capacity for at least thirty-five years. The author James Branch Cabell,a descendant of John Waddill, discussed the Waddills in his book "The Majors and Their Marriages." Theodrick Carter and Anne Waddill lived for a time in New Kent County. According to the register of St. Peter's parish, their first child John was baptized on October 30, 1737. Theodrick appeared in the Amelia County tithables list of June 10, 1747 in John Nash's district (this area became part of Prince Edward County in 1754); he is absent from the list Nash compiled for the same district on June 10, 1745. He must therefore have migrated from New
Kent County to present-day Prince Edward County sometime between these two dates. Nancy was born June 15, 1749, probably at her father's estate "Hickory Hill" (also known as "Hickory Grove"). According to tradition, the house was built around 1750; however, it may have been built three years earlier, since we know that Theodrick was living in John Nash's tax district on June 10, 1747.
John Wood's 1820 map of Prince Edward County shows the location of Hickory Hill. Two miles west of Hampden-Sydney College is the notation "Capt. Carter's." Captain Carter was Samuel Carter, Nancy's brother. Samuel inherited Hickory Hill from his father in 1777. Destroyed by fire in 1933, Hickory Hill was described four years later in the Works Projects Administration survey of Prince Edward County homes: [Hickory Hill] was not a show place except for its splendid boxwood and cedar hedge and lovely gardens. It was a plain frame house, or rather two houses connected by a little square room. The first of these traditions says it was built in 1750, a story and a half with small rooms except for one large reception room, which was beautifully paneled, and with one side of carved oak. The other part of the house was built by William H. Venable, when he bought the plantation in 1853 from Edward Carter [Samuel's son]. Mr. Venable built a large, square, two-story frame building, with large rooms and ample halls. The many outbuildings around the mansion house made the place quite a little settlement. The large grove of hickories flanking it on the south gave the place its name.
Nancy's father was one of Prince Edward County's most prominent planters. He purchased 975 acres in old Amelia County on September 20, 1748, and bought and sold other parcels of land up to the time of his death. A member of the Anglican church, Theodrick offered 300 acres of land to St. Patrick's parish for its use as a glebe, or plot of land granted to the local clergyman as part of his benefice during his tenure of office.
--PAGE 14--
Theodrick made his will on December 7, 1777. The executors of his estate were Nathaniel Venable and Francis Watkins, two of Prince Edward County's most respected citizens. Venable was a member of the Virginia Assembly in 1766-1768; three of his sons were educated at Princeton, and one served in the United States Congress. Venable lived at Slate Hill, now in the National Register of Historic Places. Watkins was deputy clerk of the Prince Edward County court from 1767 to 1783; he was appointed clerk in 1783, retiring from that office in 1823. His home was called "Poplar Hill." Venable and Watkins were also charter trustees of Hampden-Sydney College, founded in Prince Edward County in 1776.

Thomas and Nancy Thompson probably named their fourth child in honor of her brother, Samuel Carter. Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page 3). Samuel at various times held the county offices of sheriff, magistrate, and coroner; in 1805-1806 he represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia Assembly. In the late 1790s he was a trustee of a company which improved navigation on the Appomattox River. Later, he became a charter trustee of the Junction Canal Company. In 1825 the company constructed a canal which linked the Appomattox and Little Roanoke rivers. John Wood's map of Prince Edward County shows Samuel's mill at the mid-point of this canal.

Nancy married Thomas Thompson c 1770. Thomas was born Abt 1749, Prince Edward Co., Virginia; died 1810, Logan Co., Kentucky. [Group Sheet]

Samuel distinguished himself in the military, in politics, and as a businessman. A member of the 1st Virginia Regiment during the Revolutionary War, he and seven other officers were granted the honor of personally welcoming the Marquis de Lafayette during the great soldier and statesman's visit to Richmond in October, 1824 (Richmond Enquirer, October 29, 1824, page3).

Theodrick Carter, II and Anne Waddill were the parents of Nancy Waddill Carter. Anne Waddill was baptized January 24, 1713, according to the register of St. Peter's parish, which encompassed New Kent County. Her parents were William and Sarah Dennis Waddill. William was elected vestryman of St. Peter's, on June 1, 1704, and served in this capacity for at least thirty-five years. The author James Branch Cabell, a descendant of John Waddill, discussed the Waddills in his book "The Majors and Their Marriages." Theodrick Carter and Anne Waddill lived for a time in New Kent County. According to the register of St. Peter's parish, their first child John was baptized on October 30, 1737. Theodrick appeared in the Amelia County tithables list of June 10, 1747 in John Nash's district (this area became part of Prince Edward County in 1754); he is absent from the list Nash compiled for the same district on June 10, 1745. He must therefore have migrated from New Kent County to present-day Prince Edward County sometime between these two dates. Nancy was born June 15, 1749, probably at her father's estate "Hickory Hill" (also known as "Hickory Grove"). According to tradition, the house was built around 1750; however, it may have been built three years earlier, since we know that Theodrick was living in John Nash's tax district on June 10, 1747. John Wood's 1820 map of Prince Edward County shows the location of Hickory Hill. Two miles west of Hampden-Sydney College is the notation "Capt. Carter's." Captain Carter was Samuel Carter, Nancy's brother. Samuel inherited Hickory Hill from his father in 1777. Destroyed by fire in 1933, Hickory Hill was described four years later in the Works Projects Administration survey of Prince Edward County homes: [Hickory Hill] was not a show place except for its splendid boxwood and cedar hedge and lovely gardens. It was a plain frame house, or rather two houses connected by a little square room. The first of these traditions says it was built in 1750, a story and a half with small rooms except for one large reception room, which was beautifully paneled, and with one side of carved oak. The other part of the house was built by William H. Venable, when he bought the plantation in 1853 from Edward Carter [Samuel's son]. Mr. Venable built a large, square, two-story frame building, with large rooms and ample halls. The many outbuildings around the mansion house made the place quite a little settlement. The large grove of hickories flanking it on the south gave the place its name.

That Patriot Samuel Carter is the son of Ann Waddill and the husband of Elizabeth McRobert is proven by his associations with his brothers, Waddill, and his Chancery Suit in Prince Edward for his share of his Father's Still [purchased by Theodorick3 and his son, Waddill. He is also the elder of the two, closely related Samuel's. The Samuel Carter who is the owner of Carter's Tavern is the son of Theodorick4 and his wife, Judith Cunningham. This Samuel Carter, Married Elizabeth H. Neal 8 Sep 1812 in Halifax Co., VA. [Original marriage record shows Elizabeth H. Bibb as she is a Widow, and whose mother is Martha Neal and Bondsman or Security as Wm. Neale Jr.] His 2nd wife, Betsy M. Holcomb is the Widow of John H. Holcomb, and names her Holcomb sons in her will of 1844. The Margaret B. Carter who witnesses her Will, is identified as her Sister-in-law. It should also be noted that the Household of Samuel Carter and Betsy included the orphan of his nephew, William and Mary Hobson, as well as the Holcomb orphans. Additionally, Samuel 'Tavern Keeper' identifies his brother as Alexander Carter.

Samuel Carter (-1830) gave support to the Army during the Revolution. He represented Prince Edward County in the Virginia House of Delegates (1805-6).

Samuel's will executed 17 Dec 1829, probated 18 May 1830, Pr. Edw. Co., VA; Witnesses: J. Michaux, J. W. Franklin, R. Booker, James Madison; Executors: sons William M. & Edward A., & son-in-law John P. Mittauer.

Died:

The May 4, 1830 issue of the Richmond Gazette carried the following notice of Samuel's death:

Died, on the 29 ult. at his residence in Prince Edward county, Capt. Samuel Carter, in the 76th year of his age. The disease which terminated his existence was of long standing and grievous; but he bore it with the utmost patience, and met death with a firmness that had characterized him throughout his long and useful life. It cannot be necessary to lay before the public a particular detail of the useful part he acted, during an arduous struggle for Liberty and Independence: let it suffice to say, he embarked in the cause of freedom at the earliest period of our conflict with the Mother County, and his zeal never abated or tired in its defence. He was in the battles at Germantown, Long Island, Brandywine, and, in short, most of the hard-fought actions to the North, in which he distinguished himself as an undaunted, intrepid officer and soldier. His conduct and services after peace was established proved his ardent attachment to pure republican principles, and is worthy of all praise. He was soon called to fill, and did then also distinguish himself by a most happy, judicious exercise of his superior, natural, mental endowments. No one knew man better than Capt. Carter; and no one did, or can excel him in the possession of those rare qualities, which so pre-eminently fits man for usefulness to his fellow man. As a man, he was scrupulously just-- His hospitality was proverbial, and his charity, which was exercised for charity's sake, knew no bounds. As a husband and a father, he was affectionate and tender, almost to a fault-- As a master, he was kind and humane; and his superior he has not left behind him.
