  1. 1.  Samuel Smith CarterSamuel Smith Carter was born 27 Nov 1789, Prince William Co., Virginia; died 13 Apr 1852, Richmond, Virginia; was buried , Carter Graveyard, Richmond, Virginia.

    Notes:

    Samuel Smith Carter married widow Ann Heisler Douglas in Richmond in 1811 and died in 1832, leaving his wife Ann and their children, who moved in with Samuel's brother John at Myrtle Grove (now Forest Lawn Cemetery) where they stayed until death. All are buried there and headstones are still present as the estate was sold and converted to a cemetery much later on, but their stones remain among all the more recent ones. This is the only link I have connecting Samuel to John and thus to Carter and Martha, in addition to the clue of his middle name Smith matching his mother's maiden name, but I think it is a very good one. Also, Samuel named one of his son's Gustavus Giles. -Paul Jesperson

    Grandson of Obadiah Smith

    GENEALOGIES OF VIRGINIA FAMILIES - from the William and Mary College Quarterly Historical Magazine Volume I Adams - Clopton.

    "Sometime after 1750, a Giles Carter settled in Prince William, and evidently was a member of the above family of Carter. His will, probated Mar 6, 1785, mentions sons, William, Samuel, David, Robert; and daughters Sarah Carter, Mary Dunaway, Matt Mitchell and Elizabeth Heald. William Carter, Jr. gave bond as tobacco inspector at Quantico, Feb 3, 1784, and again in 1799. 5 May 1794, William Carter and wife, Betty, sold to Jas. Smith a plantation called "Pope's Hill" purchased by William in 1790, from his brothers, Samuel and David, to whom it was devised by their father, Giles Carter. Wm. Carter's will was probated in Prince William Jan 14, 1810 and names wife Betty, and children, Mary Nickerson, John Carter (living in 1830) and Sarah, wife of Henry Fairfax. Henry Fairfax's will, probated in 1847 names children, Elizabeth, Henry, Mary, Sarah Allen, Jane Botts and the children of daughters, Delia and Harriett, whose surnames are not given. The inventories of the estates of Samuel and David Carter were recorded in 1820 and 1815."
