I know how confusing the CARTERs are and I am "still" trying to make sense of the them at a very slow pace. This is a brief breakdown of my efforts in progress which are not necessarily correct: Landon CARTERs 1. Colonel Landon CARTER of "Sabin Hall"; 1709-1778; Wives: Elizabeth WORMLEY, Maria BIRD and Elizabeth BEALE of "Hesse". This Landon was a son of Robert "King" CARTER and half brother, to the John CARTER I suspected of being the one we seek within the lawsuit. John CARTER of Sudley (1737-1789, married to Janet HAMILTON was Landon No. 1's brother. 2. Landon Wormley CARTER, the son of #1; of Pittsylvania Plantation; 1738-1790; Wife: Judith Lucy FAUNTLEROY. 3. Landon CARTER, the son of Colonel Charles CARTER & Ann BIRD of "Cleves", King George County, Virginia; son Landon also from "Cleves"; 1750-1800; Wives: Mildred Elizabeth WILLIS, Molly FAUNTLEROY of "Nailor's Hole" and the widow, Elizabeth CARTER of "Sabin Hall" (Prelsey THORNTON). 4. Landon CARTER of "Sabin Hall"; 1761-1820; son of Robert Wormley CARTER and Winifred Travener BEALE; Wives: Catherine Griffin TAYLOE, Mary Burwell ARMISTEAD. His father, Robert Wormley was the son of Landon No. 1 and wife Elizabeth WORMLEY. 5. Landon CARTER of Pittsylvania, Prince William County, Virginia; born: ca 1789; Wife: Emily Henry CARTER. He was the son of Wormley CARTER and his wife Sara "Sally" EDWARDS. Wormley CARTER was the son of Landon CARTER No. 2 and his wife, Judith Lucy FAUNTLEROY. Chocy - Are you sure these are brothers? Landon Carter married to Elizabeth Wormley had son Landon Jr. and Robert Wormeley Carter. Landon Jr. had a son Charles Landon (who went variously by Charles or C.L. or Landon on court documents) and also a son Wormeley. Any combination of the four can be found on various court papers. Landon and Elizabeth Wormeley also had a son John (John of Sudely) who married Janet Hamilton. It is their son John whose will I believe you find in 1838. He also had a brother Landon and a brother Robert. Have I mentioned this family drives me nuts? Jackie
