Biography

Origin

Charles was born c. 1759 at Albemarle County, Virginia, a son of Charles Carter and Lucy Morgan (p 265).^[1]

Birth date is a guess, based on sibling's birth dates and birth order.

"Charles Carter, qualified as Deputy Sheriff of the new county of Russell on May 9, 1786. Six years later his home in Russell fell in the new county of Lee, which was cut off from Russell in 1792. He became the first clerk of Lee county and continued in that office from 1792 until 1824. From 1793 until 1826 his name appears frequently in the deed records of Lee, but the records of this county do not contain his will, so it is impossible to say if he left descendants. He is supposed to be the Charles Carter, buried in the old Carter graveyard in Rye Cove, Scott county, whose tombstone states that he died in 1828."^[1]
