From the above, here’s how the tax collector broke down his visits on specific dates, including specific locations and showing Carter neighbors:
24 May 1789 (Raccoon Branch of New River, Big and Little Reed Island Creek)
George Carter, Henry Davies and Wilson Note: Henry Mitchell was enumerated on 31 May nearby
28 July 1789 (Reed Creek, New River, Pine Run, Poplar Camp) … Tax List C???
Charles Carter, John Gibb and Edward Murphy
2 March 1790 (Reed Creek, New River, Pine Run and Poplar Camp)
John Baxter, Robert Buchanan, William Carter, Michael Dunn, William Findley, George May,
William Ross, David Sayers, Robert Sayers, Yost Smith and Robert Watson.
18 Feb 1791 – John Jenkins to William Carter, 500 acres on east side of New River joining William
Herbert’s tract, known by the name of Poplar Camp. Wythe County Deed Book 1, 1790-1796, p. 19.
1793 – William Ross, 317 acres on New River, beginning near a branch known as Cowpen Branch; 1794,
100 acres on New River corner to Carter; 179-(no date given), 200 acres adjoining his own land and
William Carter; 100 acres on New River. Wythe County Survey Book 1.
9 Apr 1793 – William Carter, assignee of Robert Adams, treasury warrant, 400 ¼ acres, 1782, 90 ½ acres
part thereof, adjoining the land purchased from William Herbert and beginning on the New River and with
the lines of the river extending towards William Thomas’s. Wythe County Entry Book 1, p. 106
12 Jun 1793 – Francis Preston of Washington County to William Carter of Wythe County, 215 acres on
some branches of the New River granted to Preston 19 August 1791. Wythe County Deed Book 1,
1790-1796, p. 174.
Kegley op cit, pg. 63 – 1793: William Harbert 367 acres north side of (New) river known as “Harbert’s Ferry” to William Carter (Sr.)
13 Oct 1795 – William Carter appointed overseer of the road from Evan’s [now Jackson’s] Ferry to the
road leading from Isaac Shepard’s to keep the same in repair. Wythe County Court Order Book.
9 Mar 1796 – William Carter and Thomas Brooks were to allot the hands to work under Moses Austin
and Wm. Ross, allowing Ross one-third of the hands to be allotted. Wythe County Order Book.
14 Apr 1796 – William Carter again appointed overseer of the road. Wythe County Order Book.
Special Note: Harbert's Ferry is clearly shown on the Settlement Map of Wythe County (annotated Kegley) just above the community of Poplar Camp, and just across the road from the Shot Tower on the river. Point is, the original homesite of Col. Walter Crockett, with his lead mine(s), dominates the area to the immediate south of this. We now know of course that William Carter's daughter Elizabeth married Samuel (Jr.), son of the Colonel; it is reported that Crocket's Cove is named for their son John. We should revisit the 1789 and 1790 Tax Lists for the presence of the whole of the Crockett family.
The 1800 US Census for Virginia and Kentucky were, of course, lost in the burning of Washington in 1812. The next sighting of William instant is for his first three patents, filed together on 19 January 1807, on the Waters of the Cumberland River in Wayne County, Kentucky, per the complete listing below.
