Which Thomas Carter m. Mary Kilpatrick

While I am in general agreement with your sentiment regarding books ongenealogy I am not sure it was apparent to you that the "book" in question is The Douglas Register which is regarded by most as the definitive source for marriages, births and baptisms in Goochland County, Virginia during the last half of the eighteenth century.To suggest that one not get wrapped up in what it says seems a little over the top and at odds with your normallysage advice.
I am also curious as to why you think, as is implied in your reply to Linda, that the Thomas Carter who married Mary Kilpatrick must have been from "down in the Carolinas."
Finally, IWOULD want to say that Mary Kilpatrick was NOT the mother of the children of Thomas Carter Jr. of Goochland. I did in fact post an argument that the Mary who was their mother was Mary Carrell in message number 19575 in this forum.I would be interested in your take on that theory.
I do find one aspect of the Thomas Carter - Mary Kilpartick offsprings a little puzzling. In The Douglas Register the two sons of Thomas and Mary are listed as Jesse born 4 Mar 1756, baptized 18 Feb 1759, page 54 andAbraham born 9 Apr 1758, baptized 3 Feb 1759, page 54. For the month of February 1759, of all of thebaptisms recorded by Douglas 10 are recorded on Sundays (4th,11th,18th,25th), 5 on Wednesdays (14th,21st) and 1, Abraham Carter, on a Saturday. Here's the mystery - why would Thomas and Mary with a 3 yearold and a 1 year old have the youngest baptized on a Saturday and the older baptized on a more usualbaptism day two weeks later?
