  Notes	The exact date of the marriage of John Carter and Elizabeth Taylor in Rockbridge Co. VA is not known but was certainly before November 1761. Elizabeth is presumed to have remained in Rockbridge Co., VA with her three young children while John and Landon operated a trading post in Carter;s Valley, NW of present day Kingsport, TN about 1766-1767. John's Store was burnt out by hostile Indians about 1769 and he removed his operations then to the Watauga River area, near Watauga Old Fields (a deserted former Indian village). Elizabeth and her children joined John and Landon at the Watauga River area when her brothers settled on Buffalo Creek in the area that later became Carter Co., TN about 1771 or 1772. She was still alive in 1776 but is presumed to have died before her husband made his will in 1780 as he made no mention of her in his will, probated in 1781 and daughter Susan is named as his executrix.
