  • Notes 
    • Thomas Carter, III was born circa 1652, in Isle of Wight County, Virginia a son of Thomas Carter, born 1610, in Newgate Christ County and Eleanor Tooke, born 1612. On August 11, 1673, in Isle of Wight County, Thomas married 18 year old, Magdalen Moore, born 1652, in Isle of Wight County, a daughter of George Moore and Jane Barcroft. [1]

      Thomas and Madalene were given on 11 August 1673, by her father, George Moore, some 400 acres to commemorate their marriage. This was part of the Blackwater Swamp, patented on 5 May 1669, called the 2nd swamp of the Blackwater, beginning at the mouth of a small branch ... at one of Capt. Wombrell's corner trees. On 30 December 1700, Magdelin and Martha confirmed to "son George Carter" 200 of those 400 acres given the couple by George Moore. Witnessed by "Wm Brown, Saml. Griffin" [2]

      Thomas and Magdalen became the parents of thirteen children, born in Nanticoke, Isle of Wight County, including:

      Edward Carter, born 1673, in Nanticoke, Isle of Wight County, died 1736, in New Hanover Precinct, (now Duplin County, N.C.)
      George Carter, born 1674/75, in Isle of Wight County, proved by 1700 deed; married Jane
      Alexander Carter, born circa 1676,
      Martha Carter, born circa 1678
      Moore Carter, born 1680, married Jane and moved to Chowan & Bertie North Carolina
      Thomas Carter, IV, born circa 1685, married Elizabeth
      Samuel Carter, born circa 1686
      Benjamin Carter, born circa 1690

      Thomas Carter III died before April 10, 1710 at "Nanticoke," his plantation north of Raynor between Mill and Pouches Swamps near Blackwater River in Isle of Wight County, Virginia. April 10 1710 was the date his Will was probated at Isle of Wight County, Virginia Colony. He left his estate to his wife and also, "unto my daughter Martha the plantation which I now live on, as long as she lives after my loving wife" and "after my daughter Martha [dies] I give the plantation to my son Alexander. [3]

      Researchers Notes
      In a posting on Genforum by Horace Fussell Jr., on January 16, 1999, he had access to some of the work of the late William (Bill) L. Murphy who was a Carter descendant. In 1983 Mr. Murphy donated a painting of Thomas Carter III to the Duplin County Historical Society's McEachern Library of Local History located in Rose Hill, NC. On the back of the painting is the inscription, "Thomas Carter III, son of Thomas Carter II. Born circa 1650 Isle of Wight County, Va. Died 1710 at "Nanticoke," his plantation north of Raynor between Mill and Pouches Swamps near Blackwater River in Isle of Wight County, Va. Married 1673 Magdalen, daughter of Lt. George Moore and Jane Barcroft, by whom he had eight sons and one daughter."   Mr. Fussell goes on to say, "The painting is still in its original Baroque frame and inscribed on one of the original stretchers was "Tho Carter/Nanticoke/Isle of Wight 1697." Painting was brought into North Carolina by his son Edward who died in New Hanover Precinct, now Dupplin County, N.C. in 1736."
