Are Sarah Middleton and Sarah (Neville) Carter the same person? See also: Find A Grave: Memorial #248000325. This "profile" claims that Sarah Neville was the wife of George Carter (abt.1742-abt.1822), son of Jacob and Sarah Carter. That would make Sarah Neville her son's wife.

George Carter (abt.1742-abt.1822): George Carter, to whom the Wiregrass Genealogy page refers is shown as husband of Sarah Neville, with no original sources

In 1717, her father, Martin Middleton, was granted 90 acres in Isle of Wight County and her future father-in-law came from the same county.

Jun 1760 – Colleton County, South Carolina - Sarah Middleton - mortgagee of Joseph Wilkinson. ^[1]
We don't know who this Sarah Middleton was. Since, at that time, widows could own property in their own name but married women could not, we can assume that Middleton was her married name and that she was a widow.
