Thanks Craig. I don't know that much about Col. John Carter except he was married to Agatha Eltonhead a sister to my Martha Eltonhead. And Col. John Carter did leave that heifer to Eltonhead Conway who is my grandmother who married Henry Thacker, Sr. I am not sure where I got that info on Col. John Carter. I missed a lot of the postings on the Carter's because my hard drive went out on me and I just got back online late last night. I was offline for 10 days. I did want to clear up that death date on Edwin Conway, Sr. Its a good thing the Lancaster County courthouse had that record. That changes some things concerning his son Edwin. I think some get the two mixed up.

Nomini Hall was in Westmoreland County, home of Robert "Councilor" Carter III, much later than this. This John Carter was the great-grandfather of him, and he (John) did indeed die in Lancaster County. His origins are a matter of continuing debate. Though it has never been proved, you may read all over the place that he was the brother of Col. Thomas Carter "of Barford." There is no proof of that that I know of. Read the post by Robert Lumsden about a week ago. Craig On Apr 14, 2011, at 5:23 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Martha Eltonhead's sister Eleanor Eltonhead married Col.
