The Wills Of Amherst Co., VA. 1761-1865 By Rev Bailey Fulton Davis list wills for Capt Edward Carter, Edward Carter who married Ann Nancy Carter Vaughn . When I checked film at Family History Library of the original Ledger Bookwills I only looked at one for Capt. Edward CarterBbok 6 page 657 because Rev Davis was not sure if a name was Landon or Laura. It was Laura Carter. Of note original wills are folded paper and you can see fold lines. These copies were from ledger books and had no fold lines.
Rev Davis comment about Edward Carter wills is that starting with book 8 page 219 they are no longer for Capt Edward Carter but for testatorthat lived Pedlar area.
My comment is the Edward Carter was father Of Elizabeth Carter who married Thomas Layne 1807 . Elizabeth was still living in 1850 census and was born @ 1785.
There is another will for a Edward Carter, Jr. Since there only seem to be two Carter wills and I believe Edward Carter who married Nancy Wright did not die in Amherst.
