Nancy Bower, This is what I have on Solomon CARTER, who is related to Capt Thomas CARTER, Sr. through his son Thomas, Jr. an Arabella WILLIAMSON. Solomon was born 25 Sept 1739, King George Co, VA the son of Peter CARTER and Judith NORRIS, he married Mary Anne BICKLEY in 1760 in Amherst Co, VA. Solomon died 18 Sept 1788 in Amherst Co, VA. Their children were: William, Abraham, Milla (married Mr. Davis), Peter, Sallie, Elisha, Patty, Nancy I know nothing regarding any of the children with the exception of William Henry CARTER, b 21 Aug 1760, Amherst Co, VA, died 15 Oct 1842, Ohio Co, Kentucky. I do not know whom William married and have just followed one of his children Abraham who married Elizabeth FELIX and is buried Boston, Daviess, KY. It does show that at least one member of Solomon's family went to Texas. If any of this relates to what you have it would be your connection to Thomas CARTER, Sr. Lynn Marion
