Researcher's Notes

Spencer Carter's father-in-law, James Lucas, served as a private in the Revolution in an infantry regiment commanded by Col. Price. He lived formerly near Ellicott City, MD., but in 1805 was living in Halifax County, VA, when he was a witness to the deed to Spencer Carter, which his wife seems to have inherited half of a tract of 290 acres in Halifax from her father, James Lucas, as Dec. 1, 1833.
