Capt. Daniel Carter, of St. Mary’s Parish

Biography

Daniel Carter, Daniel Carter, third son of Captain Thomas Carter, Jr., of "Barford," and his wife, Arabella Williamson, was born in 1700 and died in 1759 in his native county. He owned a farm of about 350 acres and eight servants.

He seems not to have held any official position in his county and parish, and appears but three times in the county records. First, May 17, 1725, when he was the attorney for his friend, Robert Briscoe, at court; second, in his father's will in 1728, when he received a negro woman and a share in the residency estate ; and last, when his own estate was appraised and divided between his wife and seven of his nine children. One son had had a disagreement with his father and left home and was lost sight of before Daniel Carter died. The eldest son is supposed to have had his portion previously to his father's death, so did not appear in the division.

Family
