The following is excerpted from information on the Caltons/Carltons of Surry County, North Carolina compiled in July and December of 1991 by:
Robert Davidson of Richmond, VA (RFDavid@aol.com)
"The earliest record in Brunswick is of a Blake Carlton (Blake Carlton I), who had died by May 1755, when his son Blake Carlton II was bound out as an orphan. This is the only record found of Blake Carlton I. He did not own land or property of any great value. Orphans who had some estate were given guardians -- those who did not were bound out to learn a trade."
