Descendants of William Sr. Carver of Person County, North Carolina - 7 Generations

Generation No. 1

1. WILLIAM SR.¹ CARVER was born Abt. 1740, and died 1819 in Person County, North Carolina. He married NANCY CARVER.

Notes for WILLIAM SR. CARVER:
William Carver Senior origins have not been documented, but he may have been among a large number of settlers who migrated into Person County, North Carolina in the early 1770's from Virginia. He was evidently living in the Stories Creek area of present-day Person County as early as 1771. The large size of his family suggests that he may have been married more than once. In 1779, William purchased from the State over 900 acres of land in two tracts "on the waters of Stories Creek". William Carver Senior and his family were farmers, raising tobacco, corn and other crops. By 1800, he was operating a grist mill (Carver's Mill), on Mill Branch, a small stream that feeds from the west into Chub Lake (Barnett's Mill Pond) on Stories' Creek. Source: Keith Carver's book .
