ANN
MALLORY, the wife of JOSEPH
CARTER-5, was apparently the daughter of
JOHN MALLORY,
Sr., born about 1735 to 1745. When JOHN died
about November, 1795, he left a will in Caswell County,
North Carolina, mentioning some of his children, which included
Stephen, who had been married at the same time as
ANN
and JOSEPH CARTER
in a double ceremony December 18, 1790.
Children
of Ann Mallory and
Joseph Carter-5
Mary Carter-6, born about 1792, married James E. Hanna February 3, 1817. They moved to Sumner County, Tennessee and had six or seven children. One of the younger sons was James Allison Hanna, who married Harriet Escue, the daughter of JAMES. Mary Carter-5 probably died before 1839. Many of their descendants were still in Sumner at the time of the Civil War. On the 1880 Census [Microfilm T9 Rolls 1281-1282] they were found in page 180, house number 14, as James A. Hanner age 43, Harriet S. age 40, Joseph A. age 22, James W. age 20, Charles D. age 12, Tobias D. age 9, Thomas B., age 5, and Sarah E., age 2.
Francis Carter-6, was born July 27, 1793, and his wife was named Elizabeth. He remained in Caswell County, where he died about 1827. After his death, his father wrote and invited his wife and daughters to move to Tennessee and live with JOSEPH and ANN. The name Francis was an heirloom name from one particular branch of the CARTER family and helps us distinguish the separate groups. His daughters were mentioned by name in his father’s will. Elizabeth was found on the 1838 Sumner County, Tennessee, Scholastic Census listing the heads of households and the number of children they had in school. Elizabeth was listed in District 13 near her brother-in-law, Joseph W. Carter, who also had one child in school that year.
John Carter-6, was born September 29, 1794, and probably died February 12, 1821. John’s wife was Ann L. Williams. John had a son named Nathan Carter-7, who lived with JOSEPH-5 later in Tennessee. There was also a John M. Carter in Sumner, Tennessee, who had sons named Francis, Joseph, and John. That John M. Carter died and left a will in 1848 [W. O. 404.] This author is not sure who he is, but with the heirloom names, he is probably related to our line.
ELIZABETH CARTER-6, was born April 16, 1797, and married ENOCH SIMPSON December 29, 1818, in Caswell County. She was our ancestor, and moved with her parents and husband to Sumner County, Tennessee, not too long after their marriage.
Joseph W. Carter-6, was one of a pair of twins born October 29, 1799. Joseph married Nancy White in Sumner County, Tennessee, September 20, 1830. The 1850 Sumner County Census shows him living in District 13, page 173, near Nelson B. Turner. Joseph was listed as age 50, owning $2,800 in real estate and as having been born in North Carolina. His wife, Nancy, age 44; was born in Tennessee. Their children listed were Sarah, age 18; William, age 16; Thomas M., age 14; Mary E., age 12; Elizabeth, age 10; Joseph W., age 8; John, age 6; Virginia, age 4; and Elizabeth, age 2. None of the children were noted as attending school. Joseph was listed on the Scholastic Census of 1838 as having one child in school in District 13.
William Mallory Carter-6, second of the twins, was born October 29, 1799. They both moved to Sumner County. William was administrator of his father’s estate. He married Eliza Turner, the daughter of John Turner, and sister of Nathan B. Turner. William died November 26, 1856. William lived on Rockbridge road in Sumner County. In 1838, William and his family were listed on the Scholastic Census in District 12, and he had four children enrolled in school that year.
Nancy Carter-6, was born August 7, 1801, and married her first cousin, George M. Carter-6, son of William Carter, Jr.-5, the Revolutionary Veteran and brother of JOSEPH-5.
JOSEPH’s father, WILLIAM CARTER-4, continued to reside in Halifax County, North Carolina, until his death in 1810. His will is of record there in Book 3, page 500, #768, dated March 17, 1810, and probated May Court 1810. JOSEPH had been gone from Halifax at least 20 years when his father died.
