About Povall Carter
Poval Carter Sr. like most people born before 1800 had no middle name a few did but George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton did not. No documents indicate he had a middle name either It was not as necessary with the smaller populations of that time. Modern researchers often stick in some maternal name as a middle name that was never used by the family and lessens the validity clues provided by actual middle names.
Poval Carter Sr. b. 1707 has been believed to be the son of Giles Carter jr. by genealogists for the last 120 years mainly because of the Poval Given name. Giles Carter jr. had as proven by the will of Robert Poval of Henrico married Robert Poval's daughter Mary. They also lived in the same areas at the same times.

Daniel his second son was not named in the will because he had moved to Cumberland and married and had children of his own by the time of the will of Poval so he received what Poval wanted him to have outside and before the will. After the death of Poval Carter sr. Amy (Porter) Carter moved to Prince Edward co va and lived for a time near grandson Poval Carter2 son of Daniel Carter.
