| 2 | Dale | 1774 | Washington | Killed by Indians
| 36 | Dale | 1774 | Washington | Captain Looney, the commandant of Fort Blackmore, was absent at his home near Kingsport at the time of Dale Carter's murder. This circumstance caused dissatisfaction with Looney. The settlers at Blackmore's wante a military leader who lived closer by. Boone's services had been so acceptable to them that they ptitioned Col William Preston, the highest military officer in Fincastle County, that Boone be made captain, and that command of their fort be committed to him. This petion seems to have had its origin at Fort Blackmore. Furthermore it seems to habe been unanimously approved by the settlers in Castlewoo who were Mr. Boone's neighbors, and the people best qualified to judge of his merits as an Indian fighter. The petition asked that he take charge of the lower forts on the Clinch, which were Blackmore's, Moore's Staiton, and Cowan's Fort Col. Preston, who had been furnished by Governor Dunmore with blank commissions for the purpose, at once acted favorably ujpon the petition by bestowing the title of captain, the highest military honor that had yet come to Boone.
| 58 | Dale | 1774 | Washington | Secretly approaching Fort Blackmore, the Indians came within about seventy five yards of the gate before they were discovered. Most of the men at the time were sitting upon some logs which lay a short distance from the gate. Evidently seeing this the Indians decided to make a bold push to enter the fort before the men could recover from their surprise. So creeping along under the bank of the river, completely hidden from view by the bank a fringe of trees and underbrush, they were just ready to rush into the fort when Dale Carter, who happened to be about 55-five steps from the fort, saw them and began to haloo, "Murder, Murder!" Upon hearing Carter's cry of alarm the men ran toward the fort with all possible speed. They succeeded in reaching the gate before the Indians. Thus frustraing their designs of cutting the men off from the fort, the Indians next turned their attention to Carter. One Indian shot at him but missed him. another shot him through the thigh, inflicting a wound which though not mortal, rendered him too lame to escape into th fort. One Indian, more bold than the rest, soon ran up to Carter, and killing him with his tomhwk, scalped him. In the meantime a Mr. Anderson [1] and John Carter, who with their guns, were either outside the fort, or on hearing the figing, quickly ran to the othe outside, endeavvored to prevent Carter being scalped. Anderson shot at the Indian who as in the act of scalping Carter, while John Carter shot at another Indian who was near by. It is not known whether either of these shots took effect; they casued the Indians, however, to scaper off about one hundred yards from which point they began firing at Anderson and his companion. Fortunately both men were unhurt by this fusillade, although some of hte shots hit the stockade only a few inches from anderson's head. By this time some of the men who had been on the logs hasitly climbed into the bastion of the fort nearest the enemy, and opened a well directed fire upon them. They drove the enemy into the woods where the little garrison dared not follow them. For a few moments the excitement was great in the little fort. Although Dale Carter's halloo of murder, sadly prophetic of his own fate, had cost him his own life, yet no doubt his timely wwarning averted the destruction of the fort.
| 61 | Dale | Sunday, October 9 1774 | Fincastle | On Sunday, October 9, three days after Dale Carters murder, Mr. Anderson reported that he saw an Indian behind a blacksmith's shop just outside the fort, "at break of day."

| 98 | John | | Washington | John Carter it seems was a brother of Dale Carter who was murdered when Chief Logan's band of Indians attacked Fort Blackmore in 1774. Some years after Dale Carter's murder, John Carter settled on Clinch River, where Joseph Sallings now lives, four miles below fort Blackmore. He had married Joseph Blackmore's daughter and had seven children. A short time after moving to his farm, having planted his crop and completed such other preparations as were necessary to move back to the fort, he went out one morning to listen for his horses and cattle which had bells on, intending to collect them up prior to moving to Fort Blackmore n the next day. This was a locust year, and he went out early in order to collect his stock before the locusts began their noises. He had proceeded about sixty yards from his house when heard his wife cry out "Oh, John". On turning he saw eight or nine Indians entering his ouse, and at the same time they fired at him. Ralizing his perilous situation he thought it best to make his escap[e and go for assistance rather than fight and only exasperate the savages in an unequal contest. hatening to the fort he collect a company and returned to his home, which he found in flames. With some poles, his companions succeeded in pulling out of the burning coals the charred remains of his wife and six children, which they buried. When they had done this, they heard a plaintive goraining a little distance form the ouse, in the weeds and grass. They went to the place from whence the sounds came and found his little daughter, about ten years of age with an awful gash across her abdomen and her entrail falling out. They carried her to the river and washed her, but she died before they had finished. (Judge Wood and Peter Honeycut in Draper Manuscripts, 4C27. As soon as Mr. barnett heard of the murder of Carter's family he ordered out a party of Rangers to hunt down the indians, but it was all to no purpose. Thye had made good their retreat.

The Real Dale Carter [6 June 2008]
Margie Brown's Treatment of "Who was the Real Dale Carter"
Ragnhild Brimsfather's Rebutal of Margie Brown
David Johnson's Counter Rebutal
Washington County Minute Book No. 1:26 reads:
- At court held for Washington County March 18, 1778 “On motion of Thomas Carter administration is granted him on the Estate of Dale Carter deceased who made oath thereto and give Bond with Richard Stanton and William Huston Securities in the Sum of 500 pounds lawful money for the faithful administration of the said decedants Estate.” It does not say Thomas Carter, brother of Dale. Thomas was the son of Peter and Judith (Norris) Carter and a cousin to Dale.
Upon the death of Lucy Carter Blakemore in 1797, the estate of Charles Carter, Sr. was divided into three lots.
Susannah left a will in Washington Co., VA in 1781
Elizabeth was killed by Indians in 1787 leaving Dale, Charles Jr. & John Carter as the living heirs of Charles Carter Sr.
This means that the Dale Carter killed by Indians in 1774 couldn't have been the son of Charles Sr. & Lucy Carter.
First, the birth records of at least four of the children of Charles and Lucy Carter are in the Overwharton Parish (Stafford Co.) Records 1724-1820.
- Dale Carter, born Aug. 9, 1744
- Judith Carter, b. March 17, 1747
- Lucy Carter, b. Feb. 17, 1750
- Catharine Carter, b. Oct. 26, 1753
Additional children, appear in Charles Carter’s will of 1766 in Amherst Co. and indicate the slaves given to them.
- 1. son Dale Carter, one boy named Bob and one woman named Moll.
- 2. daughter Susanna, one man named Tom and one woman Judy.
- 3. daughter ELIZABETH one boy named Tom and one woman named Sal.
- 4. son Charles one boy named George and woman named Poll.
- 5. son John one boy named Saney (?) and girl named Rachel.
"If any of my said mentioned children should die without any lawful heirs begotten by their bodies, the negroes SHALL RETURN AND THEIR INCREASE and be equally divided amongst the rest." Charles Sr. leaves nine other slaves and their increase to be equally divided amongst his said children but leaves his whole estate to his wife Lucy Carter DURING HER LIFETIME.
Nothing is known about his son, John, who probably died young as there are no records on him
Dale died in 1774;
Susannah in 1781
Elizabeth in 1787.
Lucy Blakemore (Charles’ widow who remarried to Capt. John Blackmore) died in 1797, only one child was still living, i.e., Charles, Jr.
1805 lawsuit in Sumner Co, Tenn. Charles Carter, Jr. sues the executor of his late brother-in-law John Carter’s estate to recover slaves left to John’s wife. There is a deposition that says the slaves of Lucy Blackmore were to be divided three ways.
Who were these three parties in 1797?
- One was John Carter, husband of the late Elizabeth Carter who inherited two slaves from her father, Charles.
- Charles Carter, Jr. who inherited slaves from his father.
- ?
They are not aware of the following document that will show the third party/parties were the heirs of Dale Carter (1744-1774), son of Charles and Lucy Carter.

Charles Carter, Jr., brother of Dale, sold his plantation in Sumner County, Tenn. in 1804 and moved to Jackson County with his common-law wife, Milly and their children.
Dale and Mary (Bickley) Carter had children:
John, b. 25 Feb 1769; d. aft 1828; m. Sarah Elizabeth Day [birth date from the John Carter family Bible]
Charles, b. ca, 1771 (no records can be found on him)
Joseph, b. ca. 1772/73; d. 24 Oct 1844, Shelby Co., Ill.; m. (1) Patsy Harris (2) Temperance ___
Caroline Matilda (Tildy), b. ca. 1774; d. spring 1862, Scott Co.; m. George Salling
Proof that George Sally/Salling married Matilda Carter:
Rockbridge County Marriage Bonds 1778-1801. Marriage consent: Sir please to let the crier here of George Salley have licens for marriage bond and in so doing you will much oblidge me and this will bee your safe warrant for so doing wich I Do Heare unto set my hand and Siel this 18th Day of January 1791. Ms Polley Carter [seal] Tildy Carter [seal]

Following this is the marriage bond of George Salley & Tildy Carter of Rockbridge dated 19 January 1791.
Original documents found at www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/va/rockbridge/intro.html
See also Rita K. Sutton – Early Carters of Scott Co. (1981) p. 35 in which Mrs. Venus Hillman is quoted, “John Salling told me his Grandmother Matilda (Carter) Salling [note: She was his great grandmother; he did not know his grandmother who died when his mother was young.], daughter of Dale Carter who was murdered by the Indians in 1774, used to gather the children around her, and tell them of her father’s death, the capture of the Pendletons, and other stories of pioneer days. Matilda remembered having been held up to the port-holes of Fort Blackmore, so she could look outside. She said that Dale Carter suffered from white swelling [chronic swelling of the knee]. Matilda was buried on the day the Clinch River reached its highest water mark. John Salling helped dig her grave and was present at the burial.
In a conversation I had with Clay Baldwin July 24, 1980 at his home in Kingsport, Tenn., he recalled stories of the Salling family, some related to him by “Gen.” John Salling, who Clay said had a sharp memory. John said his mother’s grandmother was the daughter of Dale, killed by Indians at Ft. Blackmore. John said he helped dig her grave.
I am a descendant of George and Caroline Matilda (Carter) Salling and have researched the Salling line over the past 25 years. I am in the process of writing the Salling family history for my family and relatives. It was when I was searching for mention of Lucy Blackmore in Google that I came upon Margie Brown’s and Dick Zieman’s postings. The latter’s is titled “Carters of Va. (the real scalped Dale Carter & Mary Ann Bickley)” dated 9 Feb 2005.

Discussion [29 May 2008]
The Carter family history has numerous variant descriptions of the family ancestry
Hirschman, Elizabeth Caldwell. 2005. Melungeons: the last lost tribe in America. Macon, GA: Mercer University Press., identifies Dale Carter's parents as Thomas Carter and Arabella Williamson, and places them in Amherst County. This is in contrast to Other researchers who identify his parents as Peter Carter (1706-1789) and Judith Norris (1710-1765) of Fauquier County. Hirschman also identifies John Beckley, father of Mary Bickley Carter, Dale's wife, as the guardian of her children. This may be so, but Hirchman does not provide documentation for this point. It is also in contrast with Charles Bickley's obituary that he went to Washington County to aid his widowed sister.
