Researchers, Great information on the Families of Fauquier and surrounding counties, if you find any bits of information regarding Slaves or Freed African-Americans, I would appreciate you sharing with me so I can record in the Afro-American Historical Association of Fauquier County. Wills, Deeds, Court, Appraisements and Bible Records. A lot of the First, Middle and Last Names of your Ancestors are also names of Slaves and Freed Folks I.e. Landon, Wormley, King, Presley See our site at www.AAHAFauquier.org<http://www.aahafauquier.org/> KAREN KING LAVORE Vice President AAHA e-mail - kdk0434@msn.com<mailto:kdk0434@msn.com> ----- Original Message ----- From: Jackie King<mailto:jking71@gmail.com> To: vafauqui@rootsweb.com<mailto:vafauqui@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2010 4:16 PM Subject: Re: [VAFAUQUI] Who is this Landon, Wormly & Rob't CARTER? I came in on this discussion a bit late - but a Fauquier county court case that I have looked at (1976-012) shows as a plaintiff Charles Landon Carter Erc. and defendcents the Administrators of the estate of John Carter. If you look up the case it lists Charles Landon Carter and his brother Moore Fauntleroy Carter (sons of Landdon Carter Jr. and Judith Fauntleroy as suing their cousins - the administrators of John Carter ....The administrators are listed as Landon Carter, Wormley Carter and Robert Carter - but the case goes on to list the heirs of John Carter deceased as Robert, Landon, Anne Beale, John and Edward Carter and his wife Jane. Edward Carter would not be a son of John Carter - He married his cousin Jane who was his daughter. Also listed as heirs but infants under the age 21 are George Carter, William Fitzhugh Carter, Edward Carter Jr., Betsy Carter and Matilda Carter. Those children are all listed as having Robert Carter as a guardian. The John Carter deceased would be John of Sudely the son of Landon Carter and Elizabeth Wormley. This side of the family was embroiled in a long standing court case begun about 1796 which if my memory serves me right outlasted many of those who were involved and well into the 1820s or early 1830s.
