Notes

At that time in order to be a Freeman, a man had to have a certain
amount of property, be a member of the Church, and 21 or over. [S127]

"After Thomas Carter's death there was some difficulty over the lands
he left. Apparently his youngest son, John, built himself a new house
and it fell partly on the land Thomas had give his daughterHannah and
the "children" -- probably the grandchildren. The case came into court
and from the following testimony is found proof of various stements
given by others without references.

'20 Mar 1647, Thomas Carter sen of Charlestown Assigns to his son in
law William Green "Halfe of his land in Woburn," the writing was
committed to Edward Johnson until John Green should come of age.
15 June 1658 Testimony of Thomas Brown aged about 30 years that "when
I was husband to the widow of William Green, John Carter set a house
on the childrens land," and on the same date, Anna Gardner deposed,
aged about 32, that the wife of Thomas Brown the night before she
departed this life "tould me that the greatest part of her brother
Carter's new house stood on her land," William Johnson, aged about 29,
also deposed
Ensign John Carter was summoned to Court, June 1658, to give testimony
about his land' (Wymans Notes on Middlesex Col Ct. Files)
*Scotch prisoners were sold in the colonies as servants. [S127]

[S87] [S127] [S91]

Co-author of blacksmith's petition:
"The humble petition of Isaacke Morrel & Thomas Carter, blacksmiths in
the behalf of themselves & the rest of the blacksmiths within this
colony: Showing and informing this court that whereas heretofore colas
have been in the country sold for 30s. a cauldron now of late they are
raised to L4 lacking but 2s. cauldron, and moreeover that they are
forced sppdily to buy them at that great price or else they can not be
gotten for money but are brought up & sent away into other parts of
this continent, - and your petitioners conceive that unless some
speedy remedy be found out to help & prevent these mischiefs their
trade will be much hurt and the commonwealth deeply prejudiced."
[Lechford 183-4] [S191]

owned nine lots of land [S127]

Thomas Carter deeded one-half of one hundred and thirty-five acres to
his son-in-law, William Green, in Woburn and the other half to his
son, John Carter. [S127]

Thomas Carter deeded more land to his son John [S127]

"First called Charlestown Village, in 1642 the town of Woburn was
formed. Evidently some of the Carters lived in Charlestown and some in
Woburn." [S127]
