Thomas Carter (1585-1652) was married to Mary --?--, and they had six children, all named in the will (Thomas, Joseph, Samuel, John, Hannah and Mary).
Thomas and Mary (--?--) Carter are my 10th great-grandparents. I am descended from their son Joseph Carter (1610-1676), who married Susanna Chamberlain (1616-1697) in 1644, and resided in Woburn, Massachusetts.
