   CARRIER/CARRYER, W. John--the immigrant, his estate was settled in 1777;
   records say the family came from England directly to Shenandoah Co.,
   Virginia, where W. John is found in 1759; married Jemina NICHOLAS, possibly
   his second wife; he had 14 living children when his estate was settled, in
   1777, and it is likely that some of his children stayed in England and that
   Jemina, a sister of Richard NICHOLAS, and their family came from England at
   the same time as W. John
