    3. Birdie, Do you have any Davis descendants from Mary (Carter) Davis and then she was Mary (Carter) Davis Toddy but first married to Thomas Davis? Do you have any descendants from Anne (Carter) who married James Davis? Susannah (Carter) Price Williamson who first married Daniel Price is also in the will. These girls were daughters of Giles Carter, I. I am struggling with Davis in Cumberland County. Ralph Hudspeth sold John Davis some land in Goochland County-> Cumberland Co. about 1740. This Davis may be family since Ralph Hudspeth married first Mary Carter dau of Giles Carter, II. James S. Beck did a book published by Family History Publishers of Bountiful, Utah called OBSCURITY named for the Hobson Tract in Cumberland County. His address was 428 North 300 East, Keysville, Ut 84037. The book is mostly family group sheets but some history of his family. He is descended from Mary (Carter) Hudspeth 1st wife of Ralph Hudspeth, Jr who went to NC with Giles Carter, Jr so the report goes. Giles Carter Jr married Mary Povall sometime before 1708. He completely lost me when he stated William Carter who died 1810 in Halifax, NC was a son of Giles Carter and Mary Povall. I asked for proof and he stated his notes had not caught up with his writing. You may want this book. It's cost was $20.00 in 1995. Did Hannah Carter remarry after Giles Carter I death. I have a name in mind but don't want it published because it then becomes fact. You can ask me anything you want. I am searching for Daniel Carter in Cumberland County in 1756 as overseer for John Pleasants. He later was in Powhatan County where he died in 1797 and his son Povall Carter II was executor of his estate. Povall Carter I died in Henrico County in 1760 but he did not name Daniel Carter as one of his children although Daniel testified for him in a suit in Henrico County in 1755/56.
