June and other Carter/Davis researchers.

I have a Mary Davis, dtr of William Spencer Davis and Martha White Venable
who married a James B. Carter 1832 in Pr. Edward. I don't have siblings or
parents for James B. Carter.

I have James Carter's death listed as in Carroll County, VA.
Mary had a brother named Robert Venable Davis who married Lucy Jane
Patterson 1837 in Pr. Edward.  Two of his sons, Watkins Spencer Davis and
Samuel Henry Davis went to Kentucky...in a letter to the family Robert
Davis wrote.. moved to Morganfield, Union Co. KY at an early age.

My line has Davis is both Powhatan County and Pr. Edward County.
