Notes

Samuel's father-in-law Brinsley Barnes and family migrated southward about 1758, with Samuel and Mary following them soon after.

They followed the course of Quaker migration to the south by crossing upper Maryland, across the Potomac in the Shenandoah Valley, between the Blue Ridge and the Appalachian Mountains, following the old Warriors Path, that had become known as the Wilderness Trail. Here they stopped for a few years in Rockingham Co., Virginia. There was a Quaker settlement on Smith Creek, not far from present day New Market, near Harrisburg. Two of their sons were born there, John and Edward. They may have stayed a short while in Halifax Co. before moving on into North Carolina.

There is evidence that Brinsley Barnes had bought land in Orange Co. (now Chatham Co.) as early as 1754 and that in 1767 had sold 150 acres to Samuel Carter. Samuel Carter built his mill on the Rocky River about 1765. he lived near the mill and operated it for the rest of his life and in 1802 willed it to his two sons Samuel and Mordecai. The mill was still grinding corn until 1945. It was torn down prior to 1959.
