John: Have you seen the index for Old Chapel Cemetery: There are three that I know of: (1) "Old Chapel" Clarke County, Virginia, copyright 1906 by Charles Randolph Hughes, printed by The Blue Ridge Press, Berryville, VA; (2) "Old Chapel Cemetery" Boyce Virginia, Index of Graves, 1976 by Burwell Cemetery Association, Inc. This index is contained in the "Proceedings of The Clarke County Historical Association Bi-Centennial issue", Volume XVIII, 1976; and (3) "Biographical and Genealogical Record of Persons Buried at Old Chapel" by Stuart E. Brown, Jr., Lorraine F. Myers and Eileen M. Chappel, Volume II, annals of Clarke County, VA, copyright 1987, Virginia Book Company, Berryville, VA. In the book "History of the Lower Shenandoah Valley counties of Frederick, Berkeley, Jefferson and Clarke" originally published 1890 by A. Warner & Co., Publishers, Chicago, IL. This book was updated with an index in 1972 and copyright by the Virginia Book Company, Berryville, VA. There is a John L. CARTER mentioned on page 626 of this book. "WILLIAM ARTHUR CARTER, deceased, was born on Opequon Creek in 1799 and died in 1857, his birthploace being about four miles from Winchester. He was a son of Arthur Carter, who lived at same place during life and died in 1846. He was engaged in farming and in the manufacture of paper and woolen goods. He commenced life in limited circumstances, but in time acquired a fine farm, a woolen mill and a paper manufactory; also owned a number of slaves in his time. He married Mary Kerfoot, who died in 1821, and to that union there were twelve children. He subsequently married Widow Ruth Noble, nee BERRYHILL, who died in 1852 without issue. Our subject, W. A. CARTER, married in 1824 Sarah C. Beeler, daughter of Col. Benjamin Beeler, of Jefferson copunty, W. Va., and to this marriage were born William A.; Mary E., who married and went to Missouri and died there; and Mary E. (two by same name) the only one now living. She is the widow of James T. Milton, living in Chicago, Ill. Subject's first wife having died, he married, in 1836, Mary C., daughter of Lawrence Pittman, of Shenandoah county, Va., and their children were John L. (dead), Robert K. (living in New York City), Joseph M. (living in North Carolina), Charles, Berryhill M. (married in 1876 to Mary Gray Caldwell, of fredericksburg, Va.), and George H., born April 13 1850, and married in 1881 to Eva Carroll, daughter of Charles M. Castleman, of Clarke county, whose children are Anna Lee, Alice Mary (dead), Walter C., Eva West and Edith C. The only daughter of subject, Anna L., is dead. Mr. Carter, at his death, owned about 1,300 acres of land, known as the Carter estate, which suffered heavily during the war, the heirs lsoing everything except Carter Hall and the land. The estate was divided among eight heirs, two of whom now own and farm their part: George H. and Berryhill M. He was a member of the Baptist Church for a number of years." Don't know if this is your John L. or not. Happy hunting. Jack R.
