I do NOT have any "proven" Davis descendants from Mary CARTER DAVIS, widow of Thomas DAVIS who married my ancestor Thomas "TOTTY" (NOT Toddy). I have mainly researched my direct line. I do have the book "Giles Carter of Virginia" that I use for reference among other Bk's of Henrico Co., Virginia. I was hoping I would find DAVIS descendant's of Mary on this CARTER-L list. I do have some information on the HUDSPETH's who went to NC, TN, KY. But I do not have Daniel CARTER you are seeking information on. I also have a John DAVIS I believe to be a likely descendant of Mary TOTTY, but can not post information without making an error, so best not to claim anything at this point. I appreciate your comments and hopefully I will be able to start researching My CARTER ancestors more. I have been consentrating on my COMBS family for a long time, trying to find the maiden name of William TOTTY's wife Mary, whom I believe could likely be a COMBS, not proven still. I am becoming burnt out on the COMBS research and wanted a change of pace <VBG>. I would love to hear your info on you you think Hannah may have married after the death of Giles. I never even thought of her getting remarried, duh, maybe I can help you a little. Do you know of any DAVIS descendants of Mary and Thomas? Looking forward to getting to know other CARTER researcher's. Birdie (Totty) McNutt ( ( : ) Birdiemc@juno.com A Proud Rootsweb Donor On Wed, 28 Oct 1998 12:31:05 -0800 "Alfred C.
