***********************************************************
Is it possible that the Thomas Carter located at Household #321 is the same as Thomas Carter found in the 1790 Census for Rockingham Co., NC? As you may recall, Thomas Carter of Rockingham Co., NC stated in his Revolutionary War pension papers that he was living in Halifax Co., VA. at the time of the war and had enlisted there. This is the same man that stated he was born in Maryland in 1746. In a recent e-mail, Richard Zieman says there doesn't appear to be evidence of a Carter settlement in Maryland so was the Revolutionary War pensioner mistaken? It was late in age when he made application for a pension. Also, the Thomas Carter in this 1782 Halifax Co., VA. tax list lives immediately next door to Theod. Carter (Household #322) (who I believe to be Theodorick Carter, Sr.). Could the Thomas in the Halifax Co. tax lists be living next door to Theodorick Carter because he was actually his son? This has been a common occurrence for all the years I've been doing genealogical research. Bottom line questions are could the Thomas Carter of the 1790 Rockingham Co., NC Census be the same as Thomas Carter of the 1782 Halifax Co., VA. tax lists and could this man also be a son of Theodorick Carter, Sr. rather than a transplanted person from Maryland?
