Born to planter Edward Carter (1788-1845) and his wife Frances Toy Carter (1798-1864) at Meadow Grove near Marshall in Fauquier County, Richard had several brothers and sisters. He married Mary Welby DeButts (1819-1885) and they had eleven children, many of whom died in childhood.[1] Carter served as Fauquier County's delegate in the Virginia General Assembly from 1853 until 1856 (winning re-election once).[2] After Virginia declared its secession, Carter recruited the 8th Virginia Infantry and was commissioned captain of its Company B. He served throughout the war, was wounded at the Battle of Gettysburg and mustered out at Appomattox Court House with the rank of Major. His brothers Winston Fitzhugh Carter and William Fitzhugh Carter also became Confederate officers (Winston dying in 1862), as did his son Edward C. Carter (1843-1928).[1] Carter died in Panama on April 17, 1880. His corpse was returned for burial in Fauquier County.[3] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.geni.com/people/Richard-Henry-Carter-CSA/6000000006762131934|title=Richard Henry Carter (CSA)|work=geni.com|accessdate=31 March 2017}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Carter, Richard Henry}}2. ^Cynthia Miller Leonard, Virginia's General Assembly 1619-1978: A Bicentennial Register (Virginia State Library 1978) p. 454, 459 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/6082990|title=Maj Richard Henry Carter (1817 - 1880)|work=findagrave.com|accessdate=31 March 2017}} 7 : 1817 births|1880 deaths|People from Marshall, Virginia|Confederate States Army officers|People of Virginia in the American Civil War|Members of the Virginia House of Delegates|19th-century American politicians |
