72	Dale			[after the killing of Carter] "Boone and his well trained riflemen were often called upon to track and run down the lurking foe."
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.

98-101	John, Thomas, Dale	July 9 1787	Washington	The Indians had again attacked the frontier, this time killing the wife of john Carter and six of his children, at the same time plundering and setting fire to his house, thus reducing the bodies of his wife and children to ashes. (Virginia State papers Vol. 4 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.

A Carter lineage

Discussion

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.
