Daniel Carter
Daniel was born c. 1700 at Barford, Lancaster County, Virginia. He was a son of Capt. Thomas Carter and Arabella Williamson.[1] When he was born in Lancaster, Virginia, his father, Thomas, was about 28 and his mother, Arabella, about 25. He had five brothers.
The birth date is estimated, as based upon his marriage c. 1725.
Daniel married about 1722 to 1725 to Elizabeth Pannill daughter of William Pannill of Rappahannock/Richmond County, Virginia.[2][1]
Children of Daniel Carter and Elizabeth:[2]
The above are the only known children of Daniel and Elizabeth. Others include the child below (without evidence or source).
Daniel served as attorney for Robert Biscoe on 17 May 1725.[3] He was also a planter with a farm of about 350 acres and slaves.[2]
Daniel died in 1759 at Lancaster County, Virginia. His estate was divided on 16 November 1759.[3][4] One-third went to his widow, Elizabeth, and the remainder was divided equally between the children: Daniel Carter, John Carter, Francis Carter, William Kent, John Kent, John Kirk, and Thomas Carter (Will Book 16, Page 75).[4] The estate included eight Negroes and was worth a total of £343 2s 4d.[2]
4th Great-grandfather of Theodore Roosevelt[5]
At one time, a different Thomas Carter was attached as a son of Daniel. Recent DNA studies raise doubts as to whether Thomas Carter (Carter-5679) of Edgefield, SC is the son of Daniel Carter. Additional work needs to be done. This line tested Y-DNA E-M2 while proven descendants of Thomas Carter married Kathrine Dale have tested Y-DNA R-M269. As a result of these tests Thomas Carter of Edgefield was removed as a son of Daniel Carter and Elizabeth Pannil (John Richburg, Richburg-78). Miller's book mentions that Daniel married a widow. This might explain the questions concerning the Thomas Carter that is attached. Follow up DNA work has been done and Thomas Carter Carter-5679 is not a descendant of this Daniel Carter . Many trees on different sites show this but Carter-5679 is NOT a son of Daniel. Richburg-78 (8-12-21)

The G2G discussion: "sources cited at Famous Kin (re Oswald, Roosevelt) but putative son Thomas isn't connected" that is linked to this page discusses the debate. Perhaps someone with better access or familiarity with the sources can find a definitive link between this generation and the appropriate son "Thomas Carter."
