Note: NF170 -- If Mary's family moved to Craven County, North Carolina in 1741 and Mary didn't marry until 1751, where was Mary living during that time? -- Why does The Douglas Register list only the year of 1751 for their marriage but not the month and date as for other recorded marriages? There may have been two different men with the name Thomas Carter who married into the Kilpatrick family. (1) The mother of Alexander Carter may have been a sister of John Kilpatrick. (2) Mary Kilpatrick-Carter, the mother of Jesse and Abraham, may have been a daughter of Easley Kilpatrick. He was still living in Goochland County, Virginia in 1746. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~paday/dobbers/kilpatrick1.htm#easley "I am of the opinion that his name should have been Easley which was his mother's maiden name; however, in Craven County it is usually spelled Easler or Isler. It appears he was the oldest child as he was an adult while living in Va. He was a witness to his cousin John Easley's Will in Goochland Co on 19 Aug 1746." =================================================== Halifax County, Virginia Could this Thomas Carter be another son?? http://genforum.genealogy.com/carter/messages/14608.html In 1810, Isaac Easley leaves a will. Wife, Judith; sons, Isaac and John. He leaves to John the tract of land on Dan river, where Samuel Easley now lives. To son, William, the land he bought from Thomas Easley, on the north side of the road leading from Meadesville to Halifax Court House. (See will.) Dr. Henry Easley, of Cluster Springs, married a Miss Bennett, a descendant of the emigrant Bennett, who lived near Mayo, and built on the site of the present summer home of Mr. John Harris. The original house was built before the Revolution and was destroyed by fire. The present one was built by Mr. Robert E. Owen, the grandfather of Mr. Harris, who, through his aunt, Miss Nannie Owen, inherited it. In a corner of the garden are the graves of some of the Bennetts, among them Richard Bennett, born February 20, 1779, died September 14, 1828. Another old tombstone was that of Thomas Carter, born February 8, 1767, died February 14, 1830. The Easleys are buried in a plot on the farm.
