Nathaniel Gilmore Carter

He stood with the Constitution of the United States of America (greatest document ever written by man), in a time when the Secession of Virginia denied all Virginians the rights under the United States of America's Constitution.

"Claims of Loyal Citizen for Supplies furnished during the rebellion"

Mr. Carter appears to have been a Union Man. His son James Francis Carter, his son-in-law Moses Thorpe went into the Union Army by his advice and consent. He also persuaded Thomas Thorpe to enlist. - Silas Thorpe who was a soldier in the Union Army testifies strongly to his loyalty-says he (Thorpe) went with a scout of the 8th IL at midnight to claimant's house and got from him information of a scouting party of Mosby's men, their number and location and so were enabled to attack them successfully the next day.

                                                         We find him loyal.
