M., I did not say that Joseph was a son of John Carter.
I believe that John Carter was a son of Joseph Carter Jr. who married Elizabeth Peebles, da of Henry of Prince George Co., Va. Joseph is called, "Jr" in the Division of Henry Peebles' estate. I have not found Joseph Carter Jr.'s father
as yet but he must have lived in Prince George Co., Va.
Joseph Carter who married?(licensed to marry), Mary Robinson in Brunswick Co. on 30 March 1758, was a younger Joseph Carter and appears to be a brother of John Carter,
who was licensed to marry Rebecca Stuart on 23 January 1754 in Brunswick Co., Surety, James Jones of Surry Co., Va.
Joseph Carter's Surety was Archibald Wager.
In Order Book, 1753-1756, page 132, William and Richard Stuart orphans of Charles Stuart, dec'd, with approbation of the Court made choice of John Carter to be their guardian who with Ingram Blanks and Joseph Carter his securities enter into bond according to Law (1754). On page 142, July 1754 he was granted letters of administration on the estate of Anne Stuart, dec'd, with Andrew Troughten and Thomas Harrison his securities.(Brunswick Co., Va.)
The orphans, William and Richard Stuart, inherited land from their father, land in Sussex Co., Va.
I apologize if I did not make that clear to you.
