Robert Carter/ Mary Hulsey...1700s VA
Found this message on several forums, including the Carter Family forum....
Who is this Hulsey?
"The descendants of Thomas Carter of Goochland County (1683 - 1738) do historically remain in this area. In particular, Thomas' sons Robert (? - 1757, who married Mary Hulsey) and John (c.1725 - 1773, who married Mary Fleming) help populate this area. (Thomas's other sons either relocated to Buckingham County, VA, or Georgia.)
Although a couple of Giles Carter's descendants live in Cumberland County, the majority of them pass through it to settle in Prince Edward County.
Therefore, I strongly suspect that Cartersville may have been named for the descedants of Thomas Carter of Goochland County. I have written to the Cumberland County Historical Society for more information, but have not heard back just yet.
Does anyone have any information on the descendants of Robert and John?"
Robert's children (all listed in his will, probated in Cumberland in 1759) were:
1. Robert Jr.
2. Thomas
3. John
4. Charles (b.1736)
5. Susannah
6. Mary
