ROBERT CARTER Of Corotoman, generally known as King Carter
sarcophagus, the whiteness of which has not been affected by time or the elements, is mutilated beyond restoration. The ubiquitous relic hunter is largely responsible for the present condition of that once beautiful monu- ment. The top of the tomb, now resting on three sides, one having fallen out, is covered with Latin inscriptions, which refute the tradition that he who lies buried there ruled with an iron hand.

VIRGINIA FAMILIES
FIRST GENERATION.
I. John Carter1, who was born in England, had three wives. First, Jane, the daughter of Morgan Glyn, and had issue :
I. George Carter.
II. Eleanor Carter.
Second, Ann, the daughter of Cleave Carter, probably of Eng- land.
Third, Sarah, danghter of Mr. Gabriel Ludlow.
John Carter1 was a member of the Council in 1657, and another of the same name was a member in 1724, probably a grandson. Besides the children mentioned above, apparently he left two other sons, Robert and Charles, or three sons in all.
SECOND GENERATION.
II. The eldest John Carter2, was twice married and had issue.
II. Charles Carter? (Jolin1) probably left issue also, but of neither of above is there any accurate aecount.
From the second surviving son, Robert Carter2 (John1), gen- erally known as "King Carter," the Virginia family is chicfly descended. Robert Carter of "Corotoman," Lancaster Co., Va., b. 1663 ; d. 1732. Married twiee.
First, 1688, to Judith, eldest daughter of John Armistead, "the Couneellor." She died February 23, 1699, in the eleventh year of her marriage, having borne to her husband four daughters and one son, whereof Sarah and Judith Carter died before and arc buried near her tombstone.
Second, 1701, Mrs. Elizabeth Willis, a daughter of Thomas Landon, of England. She was b. 1684; d. 1719. By these two wives he had twelve children.
From five of these daughters so many distinguished men have descended that a brief mention of them is desirable.
THIRD GENERATION.

First, Nathaniel Burwell, b. 1681; d. 1721. Had issue :
I. Lewis Burwell4.
II. Carter Burwell4.

Letters, Jan. 8, 1682-'83, Virginia Magazine of History and Biography :
Gerald Bankes, of Stafford, was a son of Adam Bankes, and in 1709 sold land to John Bowles, purchased by his father in 1674- "Stafford County Records." Judith Bankes is mentioned as sister in the will of Charles Carter, of "Cleve" (King George County Records), and in 1754 she deeded to John Wormley 78 acres in York County, at the head of Black Swamp (York County Records). She was evidently the daughter of that name of Joseph Walker, Esq., whose daughter, Mary, married Charles Carter, of "Cleve." She died in Caroline County before 1778, and left her houses and four lots for the advantage of Walker Randolph Carter and Charles Landon Carter, sons of Charles Carter, of "Ludlow" (who was a son of Charles Carter, of "Cleve.") Hening's Stat., IX, 573.
The will of Charles Carter was proved in King George County, June 7, 1764. He had nine daughters and three sons: Judith, Anne, Maria, Lucy, Jane Bird, Sarah, Carolanna, Betty Churchill, wife of William Churchill; Mary, wife of Charles Carter, of Carotoman; Charles, to whom he gave a handsome gold watch with his coat of arms on the outer case, a gold-headed cane, and a ring of five guineas pure; John and Landon.
Mentions his son Charles Carter; daughters Betty Churchill, Mary Carter and Judith Carter as "Born of wife, Mary, daughter of Joseph Walker, Esq., sister (sister-in-law) Judith Bankes, and father, the Hon. Mann Page, Esq." (Mann Page married Judith Carter, sister of Charles Carter, and they are ancestors of the Pages of Virginia) ; brother Landon Carter, Esq., of Richmond County ; sons-in-law Charles Carter, Esq., of Lancaster County, and Mr. John Champe, Jr., of King George County; son Charles' wife, Elizabeth, daughter of Col. John Chiswell, and his daughter, Elizabeth. To each of his daughters 1,000 pounds sterling. Various provisions for his sons, etc.
The will of Joseph Walker, Esq., dated November 9, 1723, was recorded in York County, November 16, 1723. He gives to each of his daughters, Mary Walker and Judith Walker, 500 pounds sterling; to his wife, Sarah, his chariot, furniture and horses; to Judith "the land called the French Ordinary and Basses, and the land I purchased of Sebrell and Stockner, in the case my son die without issue ;" (the French Ordinary was at the head of Black

Swamp, and was doubtless part of that sold by Judith Bankes, in 1754) to son, Matthew Walker, residue of his estate; Sarah Walker, Mann Page and Jolin Wormeley, Esq., executors.
Schooling-Provisions in the Will of Charles Carter, of "Cleve":
Whereas, my sons John and Landon are now in England for the Benefit of their education, and it being necessary to prevent all doubts that may arise relating to them, it is my will and meaning that they shall continue at School to learn the Languages, Mathematicks, Philosophy, Dancing and Fencing till they are well accomplished and of proper age to be Bound to some Reputable, Sober, Discreet, practising Attorney, till they arrive at the age of twenty years and nine months, and that a suitable present be made to the Gentlemen to whom they are bound, to improve them in the Business and practice of Attorneys, and that they be entered at the same time at the Temple and be by their masters permitted to attend commons so as not to interfere with their studies, and the Practice and Business of an Attorney, and it is my will and desire, that as my said sons arrive at the age of Twenty years and nine months, that they immediately embark and return to Virginia, and I do earnestly desire their guardians, as much as in their Power lies, to prevent extravagance by limiting their pocket expenses, after they arrive at the age of eighteen, to a sum not exceeding fifty pounds sterling money per annum, as their fortunes depend entirely on the seasons of a most variable climate.
And whereas, the extravagance of the present age and the flattering hopes of great Fortunes may be a great temptation to run into unnecessary expense in Living, it is my positive will and desire that my Daughters may be maintained with great frugality and "taught to dance."
III. Landon Carter3 (Robert2, John1), of Sabine Hall, Rieh- mond Co., Va., was the youngest son of "King Carter." He mar- ried three times.

Of "Councillor" Carter, Bishop Meade remarks : In "Councillor" Carter, of Nomini, the grandson of "King Carter," this peculiarity was found in a large measure. Early in life his disposition was marked by a tendeney to wit and humour; afterwards he was the grave eouneillor and always the generous philanthropist; at a later day he became scrupulous as to the holding of slaves and manu- mitted great numbers. The subject of religion then engrossed his thoughts. Abandoning the religion of his fathers, he adopted the creed of the Baptists and patronized their young preachers, having a ehapel in his own home at Nomini. After a time he embraced the faith of Swedenborg, and at length died a Roman Catholic. All the while he was a most benevolent and amiable man.
IV. Landon Carter+ (Charles3, Robert?, John1), of "Cleves"; b. 1751; d. 1811. Married, first, Mrs. Mildred Willis. Married, second, Mrs. Eliza (Carter) Thornton, of Sabine Hall. But he may have had a third wife, for Philip Ludwell Lec, writing to his brother, William, under date May 31, 1769, said (Lce of Virginia) : "Landon Carter, son of old Charles, is to be married in a little while to Miss Molly Fauntleroy, of 'Naylor's Hole.'" If this statement is true and applies to this Landon, then Molly Fauntleroy must have been his first wife.
