  Notes	John immigrated to Virginia in 1635, at the age of 22, on the ship Safety. He first settled in Upper Norfolk County (now Nansemond County), and later Lancaster Co., VA. Both himself and his eldest son, John, appear on the vestry book as members of the vestry in the year 1666, the father having been acting in that capacity before (but for how long is now known). John had previously built, by contract, the first church standing on the spot where Christ Church now is, and the vestry received it at the hands of his son John, six months after the father's death in 1669. John Carter, Sr. is buried in the church that he built along with his five wives, near the chancel. [5]
