Marianne, I think you are a bit confused on this one. 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.
