    Notes:

    William McCarter is strongly believed to be the father of James McCarter who
    married Rebecca Ogle, but no absolute proof has been found for this partcular
    father-son relationship. He moved with his parents from his birthplace to
    "Hawfields," North Carolina, then on to York County, South Carolina.

    He was listed with his first wife and six children in the 1790 Fedral Census of
    Ninety-Six District, Abbeville County, South Carolina.

    William McCarter filed a pension application for his Revolutionary War services
    in the South Carolina militia. His pension papers give a detailed story of his
    military service in the Revolutionary War. It reads as follows:

    "The State of South Carolina)

    personally appeared in open Court before the Hon. Wm. D. Master one of the

    "That as well as he can recollect in the year 1775 he entered service of the
    United States as a militia soldier under the command of Col. Thomas Neil, Capt.
    John Miller's company against the Cherokee Indians that he was about on duty
    this tour about two months. That he then resided in South Carolina in the
    present district of York. That he was in several engagements there with the
    Indians in the Indian Towns.

    That he next served in the 1779 or thereabout a tour of duty at Orangeburgh,

    forwarded to him a Commission as Captain of the Militia. That under the
    Commission he acted as a Captain of Militia at the Four Holes for three
    months...That he cannot fix the year of his own recollection. That he was then
    residing at the same place under the Military Command of Colonel Wm. Hill &
    Col. Jas. Howe. That during he tour they had some skirmish with the Tories.

    "The Next Tour of duty performed by him was under General Marion. Then Colonel
    Marion where he acted as a private & a volunteer on the Santee River, South
    Carolina below the Eutaw Springs. This duty was performed as well as he can
    recollect in the year 1779 and he was out during this tour two months.

    "That he also served other tours of duty in the Revolutionary War as a Whig
    Soldier of the Militia at various times but for what length of time he cannot
    recollect precisely but he can certainly say that it amounted to one year in
    addition to the forgoing services. That only for a few days was the
    detachments he was in Service was connected with any regular troops and then
    only for a few days while at Bacon Bridge near Dorchester who command the
    regular troops he cannot now remember --- That he has now no discharge from
    services nor has he any documentary evidence of his services nor can he procure
    any that he is aware of... That he can prove his service by Capt. James Martin
    and Robert Hannah.

    "And that he does hereby relinquish every claim to any pension or annuity
    whatever except the present and declare that his name is not on the pension
    roll of the agency of any state."

    "Sworn to Subscribed the) His
    day & the year aforesaid) William X McCarter
    in open Court." ) Mark

    After the war William received a patent (or land grant) for 200 acres of land
    "in the district of Ninety-Six and County of Edgefield on a creek called Rocky
    Creek waters of Stephens Creek" from the State of South Carolina on 6 November
    1786. He was living in Abbeville County, South Carolina at this time.

    William McCarter sold this tract of land (200 acres) to Peter Huskey and
    Jonathan Huskey of the State of South Carolina and the County of Edgewood on 28
    October 1797.

    His first wife must have died circa 1790 in Abbeville County, South Carolina
    according to his Revolutionary War pension papers. They had eight children as
    shown in the 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield County, South Carolina and the
    1810 Federal Census of York County, South Carolina.

    Notes:

    From "Rowan County, North Carolina Court Minutes 1773-1786", William Ogle, with his brothers Thomas and Hercules Ogle, is listed in "Names of Persons who have not taken the Oath of Allegiance in Captain Cox's District." The date of the entry is 1778. Family traditions say that he served in the Revolutionary War.

    William Ogle and his brothers, Thomas Jr. ad Hercules Ogle, were listed in Captain Cox's District, 1778 Tax List of Rowan County, North Carolina.

    Some records say William Ogle was an Indian trader, other say that he was a minister of the gospel. In the deeds from Rowan County, North Carolina, he described himself as a planter or yeoman.

    In 1785 William and his family were living in Wilkes County, Georgia, according to "1785 Tax List of Wilkes County, Georgia". They settled in Edgefield District, South Carolina, prior to 1790. He was listed as the head of household in 1790 and 1800 Federal Census of Edgefield District, South
    Carolina.

    On 19 Oct 1795, Thomas Ogle of Grayson County, Virginia deeded 100 acres of land in Rowan County, North Carolina, to "William Ogle of Edgefield County, state of South Carolina". William later sold this same tract of land to Mark Cole and Jacob Skeene on 30 Oct 1795 (Deed Book 14, p 178 and p 179/80).

    On 7 March 1796, William Ogle added to his holdings in Edgefield District, South Carolina, another 100 acres of land purchased from George Hagood. This land was situated on "the branches of Rockey Creek, waters of Savannah River" (Deed Book 13, p 198).

    Family traditions say William Ogle had planned to migrate to Tennessee. But at that time, there was an epidemic of a most dreaded disease in the backcountry of South Carolina. It is believed that before William Ogle could make arrangements to dispose of his land, he contracted this disease and died.

    Other sources say he built the first known structure in the Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee area. They say he hunted with Indian friends in the area and decided to build a cabin and move his family there. He cut and hewed the logs, and then returned home "to grow a crop" in order to bring supplies for his family's survival for some time. While there, an epidemic of malaria broke out and William died of the fever.

    Between the date of his will, 26 Feb 1803, and the date of probate, 5 March 1803, William Ogle died and was survived by his wife, Martha and his children, five sons and two daughters. He is buried in the Fruit Hill area.

    In his will William said, "I give unto my son Harculous Ogle that Hundred Acres of Land he Now lives. Also the remainder of the Land is to be Divided among four Boys except a Child's Share which I give unto My beloved Wife Polly Ogle (Martha in the 1811 deed). Also I give unto my beloved daughter Rebecca (Mc) Carter a cow and Calf, bed and furniture, Pot and Some other furniture. Also I
    give unto my beloved grandson William (Mc) Carter a young sow. Also the rest of the property to be Equally among all the rest of my children except my beloved Wife which draws a Child's share." His will was recorded in Edgefield County, South Carolina, Will Book "A", box 22, #783.

    Notes:

    Martha Jane Huskey Ogle was part Indian.

    After the death of William, Martha took her five sons and two daughters for a short visit with relatives in Virginia. Her brother, Peter Huskey, and his family then accompanied them on their long trip to the East Tennessee area to establish their home.

    They were in the Sevier County, Tennessee as early as 1805. There is a record in Tennessee State Library and Archives that shows Hercules and Thomas Ogle sold land to William Murphy in 1807. This land was situated in the area of "mouth of Walden's Creek" in Sevier County, Tennessee.

    On 19 January 1811, Martha Ogle, "relict of William Ogle" and her sons relinquished to James Atchison of Edgefield County, South Carolina their claim on the property that William Ogle had bought from George Hagood in 1796. This deed of conveyance was recorded in Deed Book 31, p 291/92 in Edgefield County, South Carolina.

    According to the church minutes of "Fork of Little Pigeon Church", Martha Ogle was the one of the group of people from White Oak Flats Community that asked the Fork of Little Pigeon Church to establish a church in White Oak Flats as an arm of the church in Sevierville in December 1817.

    Sometime between December 1817 to July 1826, Martha Ogle died and was buried in Gatlinburg, Tennessee behind Hays House Restaurant.

    Some researchers claim her given name should not include Jane.

    Pennsylvania at the birth of William in 1758. Then they migrated to
    "Hawfields," North Carolina before the birth of James McCarter in 1765

    Secretary of the Historical Commission of South Carolina, it is found that
    Moses McCarter filed a claim against the State of South Carolina for pay for
    milita duty since the fall of Charleston and was paid "four Pounds, eight

    In "North Carolina Genealogy", there are several Rowan County, North Carolina Tax Lists for 1760's. Only "John Ford's List of Taxables for the Year 1768" listed Thomas Ogle.

    On 23 May 1769, Thomas Ogle of Rowan County, North Carolina sold 67 acres on Little River, a branch of New River, to William Murphy. This deed was duly recorded in Augusta County, Virginia.

    There is found in "New River Tithables", complied by Mary B. Kegley, the "List of a W. Herbert - 1772". On this list, Thomas Ogle appears with three tithables. The three tithables would include himself and two oldest sons, John and Thomas Ogle.

    Thomas Ogle is listed as 1 tithable, no slaves, three horses, 13 cattle and owning land in the 1782 tax list of Montgomery County, Virginia.

    In "Montgomery County, Virginia-Circa 1790", Transcribed and edit by Nettie Schreiner-Yantis, the "Personal Property Tax List A-1789" gives this information: "27 Apr 1790-Thomas Ogle with 1 white males-16 years to 21 years, no slaves, and six horses." The one white male listed above would be the youngest son, James Ogle.

    In Montgomer County, Virginia Survey Book "D", Thomas Ogle bought 140 acres of land on both sides of Little Reed Island Creek, 27 Nov 1789 from Thomas Black.

    This area was part of Grayson County, Virginia when Thomas Ogle died. Today it is in Carroll County, Virginia.

    This was the same land that Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth deeded to their youngest son, James Ogle on 10 Jan 1801. The deed was proven in March 1803 after Thomas Ogle's death.

    During the 1780's and 1790's, Thomas ogle and his wife Elizabeth were living in Montgomery County, Virginia; then Wythe County, Virginia, and later Grayson County, Virginia. At that time, the land that Thomas and Elizabeth Ogle deeded to Thomas Jr. and Hercules Ogle in 1793, and to William Ogle in 1795 was located in rowan County, North Carolina. This apparently accounts for the fact that in his will, Thomas Ogle left only one dollar ($1.00) each to his children.

    Thomas Ogle's will was dated 2 March 1802 and was probated at the March Court 1803 of Grayson County, Virginia. In his will, he mentions his wife Elizabeth and names his children. There is no land mentioned. Elizabeth is to have all movable property and each son and daughter is to have one dollar with the exception of Hannah who is willed one cow.

    Thomas Ogle and his wife, Elizabeth, are believed to be buried in the large Ogle Cemetery on Peavine Ridge just outside of Hillsville.
