    1. Re: [VAFAUQUI] Children of John CARTER of "Sudley" and Col. John CARTER d: 16
    2. Jackie, Had a little chuckle with your George sneeking into your database as a child of The "Councillor", Robert and Pricilla CARTER, as I have Eliza (sure it was short for Elizabeth), Robert married to Francis "Anne" TASKER, the daughter of Judge Benjamin TASKER and a Charles. Only I do not have a reference on my Charles, so maybe your George and my Charles have been sneeking around together! Another interesting note concerning Robert CARTER, Jr. that I was just reading in "Fauquier During The Proprietorship" where Robert CARTER, Jr., described as an infant in 1710 having 902 acres and 10 acres on the north side of Occoquan river and a little below the falls being granted to him through the efforts of his father. He must have been wealthy at the time of his early death at about 28 years------------------ Sources: "Some Prominent Virginia Families" and Liber 31, folio 90 5 Oct. 1760 TASKER, BENJAMIN, Jr., of Annapolis, Esq. To my father, the Hon. Benjamin Tasker, Esq., all my e., to be sold & the preceeds used as follows: 1/3 to my sister Ann Ogle, widow, for life, & then to be equ. div. among her chldn. [not named]; 1/3 to my sister Elizabeth Lowndes, wife of Christopher Lowndes, for life, & then to be equ. div. among her chldn. [not named], but nothing is to be paid to sd. Christopher; & the remaining 1/3 to my sister Frances Carter, wife of the Hon. Robert Carter, Esq., of Virginia, for life, & then to be equ. div. among her chldn. [not named]. Extr: my sd. father.
