THE CARTERS: HANNAH(2) 1713-1764

Hannah was the second daughter, fourth child, born about 1713, probably in Pennsylvania or New Jersey before the family came to Maryland. In her twenties, she married James Carter, Jr. probably in Frederick Co., VA where James had come to claim land. Harris gives this marriage in 1733, which would be in Maryland, but Marie Eberle gives it about 1739. James was from Bucks Co., PA and the son of James and Susannah Griffith Carter. The Carters were Quakers as Hannah's mother, Mary Calvert, is reputed to have been. That connection may have been the conduit for their meeting. The movement of James, from Pennsylvania to Virginia, coincides with the movement of many other Pennsylvania Quakers to secure land, made available in 1730, in the backcountry of Northern Virginia.

All of the children of James and Hannah were born in Frederick County, VA. James and Hannah lived just north of Winchester on what is called Apple Pie Ridge. This was their home for their entire married lives, raising 7 known children. James would die at age 48 and Hannah, 6 years later at age 51. After their death, their children would sell the estate, and most would move back to Pennsylvania, where James had originated from, settling further west in Washington County. One son, John, the youngest, stayed in Virginia. Of all the second-generation daughters, Hannah's line is the best developed, in part because of the research of Marie Eberle and Margaret Henley.
