      • William Carter's will, probated July 27, 1812, mentions 195

        27. Presley Carter removed with his parents to Halifax
        County. In 1787 he was the security at the marriage of his
        sister Mary to Frederick Miller. In January, 1789, Presley Carter and Anne Waddell were married in Halifax. In 1791 and

        Tenn., and that his father, Stewart Carter, removed to Alabama, where he died, and that about 1840 the widow and her children returned to North Carolina. No other data of this branch.
