Individual Details

An Anne Waddell married Presley Carter on 29 Jan 1787 in Halifax Co. She would have born about 1770 or so if she married in 1787. Presley Carter was a brother to Levin Carter with whom Noel Waddill has various land deals in Pittsylvania Co. Presley witnessed a deed from Noel Waddill Sr to Jr in 1794. Levin & Presley Carter were sons of George Carter who died in Halifax Co about 1785. Levin thought born about 1757; Presley about 1765. Their youngest brother, Charles Elwell Carter, b. 2 Oct 1775 in Pittsylvania Co, married Kesiah Walters, daughter of John Walters & Elizabeth Spears on 1 Feb 1795 in Pittsylvania Co. John Walters was a neighbor of Noel Waddill.


In 1850, there is an Oney Carter, age 72, born VA, in the household of William Hendricks in Jefferson Co TN. That would be a birth year of 1778, making her impossibly young to have married in 1787. But then census ages are often wrong, particularly the older women. Hendricks' wife was Jane, age 41, b. VA, but she was not listed as a daughter of Oney Carter in the online database. Although some researchers have assumed this is Anne, I think this is likely someone else.


"Mr. Iverson Carter, an aged gentleman, who lives near Danville, VA, is a son of the latter [I add that "latter" is referring to Stewart Carter, son of Presley Carter and Anne Waddell.] and writes that his uncles Peyton, Paschal and William settled at Dandridge, Tenn., and that his father Stewart Carter, removed to Alabama, where he died, and that about 1840 the widow and her children returned to North Carolina. No other data of this branch." [The Descendants of Capt. Thomas Carter by Joseph Lyon Miller, preface written in 1912, p. 58]
