   Samuel Carter resided in Albemarle County, Virginia, when he enlisted

immediately after the capture of Burgoyne. He served in Captain John Martin's

District, S. C., and soon after enlisted in Captain Robert Frost's Company,

Colonel David Hopkins' Regiment. Shortly after his enlistment he was elected

in command of a company against Tories on the South Edisto River. He was in the

battle of Eutaw Springs. He moved from Fairfield District, S. C., to Rutherford
