First Families of Virginia - The Carters, Part 3

[@HayleyMarie72]

Thank you so much for this history lesson. I recently discovered that Robert "King" Cater is my 10th great-grandfather and his daughter Judith Cater Page is my 9th great-grandmother.

That is an interesting connection! I love to hear about these genealogical studies that people undertake. Through Judith, you're connected to the Pages too, another very important family as well.

Enjoyed this one, as usually, especially about Robert Carter III. While reading a book on him, saw the author referenced two letters from him to my ancestors, so naturally have requested scans of the letters from Duke, who hold the collection. Can't wait to se what was being discussed, but I suspect it was business plus the fact that one of them was an early Baptist preacher in Westmoreland County might have something to do with it. Have you considered doing the Awbreys, and maybe the Boggess's? Apparently the Awbreys (not my ancestors) owned half of what is now Fairfax County, as well as chunks of Westmoreland. And the Boggess's ran their businesses.

Do you happen to have anything on the Inge family from Pittsyvania?

No, not off hand, sorry.
