Sally's 10-great Grandparents:

John Carter  ca 1574 - 1630  |  his parents
& ca 1596 -----
Benion
  |  her parents  
& 1625/29 Bridget ?
  |  her parents
of
Hertfordshire and London, England


           This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 
researched by Barry Hayes following Currer-Briggs


  ca 1574 John Carter was born in Hertfordshire, England. 
According to Currer-Briggs, he was son of Thomas Carter ca 1528- of Watford and Aldenham by his third wife, name unknown.
 1588 - John Carter became the apprentice of the Vintner of London, William Carter 1565-1614, his half brother. 

 ca  1596 John Carter married his first wife, a sister of Gabriel Benion,  daughter of Thomas Benion and Isabel Higginson of Berkswell, Warwickshire. She was the mother of all of John Carter's children per Dr. Barry Hayes.
 1625/29 John Carter married his second wife, Bridget.

 23 Apr 1630 - John Carter made his will and
 6 May 1630  - will was proved by his executor and brother in law, Gabriel Benion of London. 
The death occurred at Carter's home on Newgate Street, London. 
He requested burial at Christchurch.
     Will of John Carter, Vintner

e-mail from Paul Murauskas
Below is my transcription of John Carter's Will.  You may be able to fill in the blanks, I tried as hard as I could.  The words at the edge of the page are difficult to read.
Since he states the estate won't be divided until the children reach 21, then it seems to me that the children could not have been born before 1609.  Does this make sense? I thought I would throw in my own two cents.

Hello,
           The above William Carter is my ancestor, and I have been researching this line.
 My copy of "The Carters of Virginia" by Noel Currer- Briggs, has the father of William as John Carter and an unknown first wife. 
Besides William, other children of this marriage were, George, the vintner, ca 1595-1673, Anne, Elizabeth, Silvester, Mary, and Isabel.  
Children of his marriage to Bridget Benion were : Thomas, John , and Robert. 
Brothers Thomas and John, as well as their half brother, William, emigrated to America. 
My line from William goes as follows: William married in Surry County, VA to Alice Croxon. Their son,  George, born 1636/38, died 1664/65, married Mary ? Their daughter, Elizabeth, married  Robert Crawford (Crafford), their daughter, Sarah Patience Crawford married John Newsom, (my line), Sarah's sister, Elizabeth, married John's brother, Thomas.
                Regards,
                                Kent Pusser

John Carter ca 1548  - ?  |  his parents
&
Alice ? -
  |  her parents
of
Watford England


           This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 
researched by Barry Hayes following Currer-Briggs


He was a Vintner but a generation older than John ca 1574 - 1630.
This man was freed from his apprenticeship in 1569 after having been a member of the Company of Drapers previously, by 1589 was a Warden.
This John Carter, the Elder was the gentleman named as cousin by William Carter of London in his 1585 will. 

         The son of this man John Carter Jr. was the godson of William Carter. and is 
 John Carter bapt. 1581 St Margaret; 
apprenticed by the Vintner Thomas Baylie, who became a member of the Virginia Company in 1604.
 His apprenticeship ended in 1595 making him born ca 1574.
 He possibly is the father of the emigrants William, Thomas, and John rather than John Carter ca 1570 - 1630.


William Carter  ca 1550 - 1585  |  his parents
& 1576 Elizabeth Woodward ? - 1618   |  her parents
& Hugh Morrall
of
St Mary Magdalene, Milk Street, London, England


           This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 


He was a merchant and lived just a short distance from where John Carter ca 1574 - 1630 lived.
He was a son of Thomas Carter and Jane Cupper.
He wrote a will 5 March 158 that mentions his cousin John Carter Vintner.
 and his godson John Carter Jr.

Children of William Carter and Elizabeth Woodward:
1. John Carter 1577 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -
2. Rachel Carter 1578 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -
3. William Carter 1579 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -
4. Leonard Carter 1579 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -
5. Thomas Carter 1583 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -
6. Jane Carter 1585 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England -


Thomas Carter ca 1516  - ?  |  his parents
& ca 1545 Jane Cupper ca 1520 -   |  her parents
of Steventon, Shropshire, England


           This is my working hypothesis - the way I see it as of this moment!! 


Jane Cupper ca 1520 was the daughter of Thomas Cupper ca 1494 and wife Isabella Cooke ca 1498 of Steventon, Shropshire, England. 

"The Visitation of Shropshire (ed. George Grazebrook and John Paul Rylands,
London, 1889) lists details of Thomas Carter and Jane Cupper, their son
Thomas and his daughter Johanna (who married Edward Cupper, a great nephew
of Jane's). "  e-mail from Matt Cupper

Children of Thomas Carter and Jane Cupper:
1. William Carter ca 1550 Downton, Shropshire - 1585 
    married 1576 St Magdal, London, Middlesex, England Elizabeth Woodward ca 1554 - 1610
2. Thomas Carter ca 1846 Downton, Shropshire -
    married 1568 Ludlow, Shropshire Margery Bashfield ca 1848 Ludlow Shropshire -
      a. Joanna Carter ca 1569 Downton, Shropshire -
          married ca 1590 Edward Cupper ca 1565 -

This unidentified man probably had a yet unidentified brother who had a son Vintner John Carter  the elder.
