My son-in-law's CATER family was of Cumberland county. In his family lineage are two brothers: Henry & John CARTER, son's of John CARTER of Cedar Creek twp, Cumberland county. This John Carter was born about 1770 in NC and died sometime after 1850. Another researcher tells me John Carter was son of Jesse Carter (died about 1811 in Cumberland county, NC). The lineage from there is uncertain but reportedly is form a John or John Joseph Carter born about 1724 in VA and died about 1751 in Turnbull, Bladen county, NC. See my web page for further info.
