Owned the Oakes Farm Manor in Bedfordshire, England. His son, William, received it upon his death.

"...Anthony, elder brother of Thomas Denny who in 1546 sold the manor to William Carter of Bromham, yoeman, to hold of the king for one-twentieth of a knight's fee and an annual rent of 6s. 8d. William Carter died in 1569, when the manor was called Oakes Farm, worth 2 pounds yearsly, and the estate, which comprised other lands in Kempston worth 17s. 4d. a year, descended to his son and heir William. The latter, who died in 1605, left a son and heir Thomas, aged 31 (born 1575).

William Carter is my 13th great grandfather.
