Giles Carter, of Stanway House

From "Throw the Bloody Books Away" .... GenForum posting of Joy Carter Johnstone of 8 Oct 2002:

I have been researching Giles Carter and family since 1975. In the late 70's my father and I went to Cold Aston and to research England. My father, who was a student of history and it was important to him that we be accurate in our findings. In Cold Aston we visited a church which we had heard about from a cousin who had been to England in the 60's. This little church has a plaque high upon the wall opposite the doorway. It reads as follows: "Anno Dom 1664--Giles Carter the eldest son of John Carter of Netherswell Co. of Gloucester, Esq. his two brothers being John Carter of Charlton Abbots and William Carter of Bressnorton in Oxford married Elizabeth the daughter of Paul Tracye of Standwell and DIED WITHOUT ISSUE."
