Well there is one other Charles Landon you have to watch for - and I am still not sure where he fits in. That is Dr. Charles Landon Carter - and he was running around in the same area for a while. It is quite easy to try to get him mixed up in this whole mess. I might also mention that a few records from this branch are found in Loudoun county since a daughter of the correct Charles Landon moved there with her husband, who also had a propensity for filing court suits some of which resulted from this original court suit. I would have to look but I think the last record I have for any legal action that stemmed in one way or another from the original 1796 action is in 1848 - four years after Marion Steuart Carter Rhodes death. Any my sympathy on the boot. I was in one earlier this year for about six weeks. I wish I could blame something normal like black ice. I can't. I broke my foot chasing one of our cockatiels around.

I think the snow is getting to me plus I fell and broke my left ankle and had surgery and am in a boot until March 16th when I start physical therapy.. it is called black ice no one can see .. and I didn't. I have to have a sense of humor until then. Playing around with the Carters adds to the humor.
