"Of course, it is your privilege to

honorable station and great influence.
There are SO many Robert Carriers In
Virginia annals that keeping track OF
them is perplexing. and the ramifica-
tions of this Carter family are SO ex.
tensive that 1t would be surprising II
any old family in Virginia were not
in some way related to it.
The first Carter to settle In Virginia
was John Carter and he took up his
home in what Is now Nansemond
county. He was a member of the
house of .burgesses in 1919. which
shows that he was one Of the early
immigrants to Virginia. In 1854 he
appears in the house of burgesses as
from Lancaster county. He was an
officer Of the Virginia forces in the
campaign against the Rappahannock
Indians He died in 1869. =.
This first Carter had three wives:
The first was Jane Glyn, daughter of
Morgan Glyn; the second was Ann
Carter, daughter of Cleve Carter OF
England, and the third was Sarah Lud-
low, daughter of Gabriel Ludlow. He
had many children. His eldest son.
John, also married three times and
had a large number Of children, and
that Johns son. Robert Carter, who
came to be called King" Carter, mar

The boat makes such sudden changes
of course in ascending the creek that
the rudder chains creak and groan
The creek itself is crooked, but the
channel is more SO. Low bars stretch
out from the shore, and the water is so
shoal that the tides of the creek mere
ly ripple across them. The tip of these
bars is usually marked by dead
brush, and the steamboat makes the

on the banks are homes, mostly small
ones, and though generally painted
white, too many of them are gray and
warped.
The first wharf in the creek is
Beale's. Long ago this landing, which
is in cove in the creek, was called
Lock harpbr. but it came to be Bea1e's
wharf, because of the man who lived
there and owned the wharf a good
while before the civil war. The RAM

that part of the county are dead. but
it remains Beale's wharf 1t is a short

Bishop Meade has entertafning1y told
that early in life Councillor" Carter
showed a marked tendency toward wit
and humor, but that afterward he was
always the grave councillor and the
generous philanthropist.
Later in life he became scrupulous on
the subject Of the holding of slaves,
and manumitted a great number of his
bondmen and women. According to
Bishop Meade THE subject of religion
then engrossed his thoughts. Abandon

Historic Nomony Hall does not stand

1851, but a deep pit and mounds of
brick mark its foundation and it's
ruins The present Nomony Hall stands
a few yards in front of the ruin of
the old.

1850, but which shows the great old
house without the wide porches which

Nomony Hall is intimately associated
with the life and times of King Carter
of Virginia, and the family living on
the old place today are descended from
that early colonial notable. Nomony
Hall was part Of a large tract. set down
in the grant as $4,000 acres though DIR.
G. W. Beale of Westmoreland county
told the Rambler that according to the
metes and bounds set down in the grant
the tract was of much greater extent
than the acreage named. The grant was
issued to Thomas Hawkins and bore
date February 26, 1853. Hawkins was

This Thomas Hawkins, in 1867, sold a
part of the estate to the Hon. Nicholas
Spencer and removed to Somerset county,
Md. Much more than this part Of the
plantation was sold to Spencer, since,
December 30, 1868. Nicholas Spencer and
his wife Frances sold 1000 acres to Rob-
ert Edwards. This tract lay on the east
side of Nomony creek. At the same date,
said DIR. Beale, 500 acres higher up the
stream was sold by Hawkins to Thomas
Dawson. who resold it to a man named
Hobson. This was Hickory Hill and
other land.

Councillor Carter owned the place and
