The Lancaster County Chancery Causes have been digitally scanned. You
can search for the Cabell, Carter, and Tucker surnames and read the
chancery suits they were involved in. 

Lancaster County Chancery Cause 1834-002 involves all three families and
references Corotoman plantation.

Also, Gov. James Barbour's executive papers also found at LVA include a
refence to Corotoman during the War of 1812.

William Lambert was appointed an agent stationed at Windmill Point in
Lancaster County, at the mouth of the Rappahannock River, to watch &
report on enemy movements. Lambert's correspondence details depredations
of the enemy in Northumberland County (1814 March 25); the force of the
enemy at New Point (1814 April 1); enemy movements up the Chesapeake &
runaway slaves taken by the enemy (1814 April 8); enemy movements up the
Rappahannock River (1813 April 22); enemy depredations on the Corotoman
Estate (1814 April 29); the taking of slaves by the enemy in
Northumberland County (1814 May 8); an attempt by the enemy to land on
the southern shore of the Potomac for the purpose of taking slaves (1814
May 13); enemy movements up the Chesapeake & a landing of three thousand
British troops in the Northern Neck (1814 July 22); enemy movements on
the Rappahannock River & the destruction of property by British troops
in Westmoreland County (1814 July 29); and enemy depredations at Kinsale
& the capture of three schooners on Cone Creek (1814 Aug. 12).

Subject: [VA-HIST] Corotoman and other Carter, Cabell and Tucker matters

I should welcome help on two questions on the Carter, Cabell and Tucker
families:
[1] where can I find the locations and extent of the Corotoman and other
plantations of the Cabell, Carter and Tucker families in the Northern
Neck, with a focus on the period of the War of 1812?
[2] is the list of Robert Carter's 500 emancipations online, either
transcribed or as images of original documents?
