I believe the given name "Landon" used by a number of Carters is always associated with the Robert "King" Carter line of Colonial Virginia. I'm going by memory (which is dangerous for me) but I believe the first Landon Carter was a son or grandson of Robert "King" Carter, and the name was continued in later generations.
