who received a grant in Amherst County, Virginia of 290 acres in 1789. This grant must have been to Job Jr as the first Job died in 1782, and Job, Jr. ten years later appears in the records of Fayette County, Kentucky, as the owner and resident of Walnut Hill, a farm on the Richmond Pike about five miles south of Lexington, the county seat of Fayette County. He was a member of Walnut (_____?) Presbyterian Church, and apparently donated the land for the church, and is buried in the churchyard. However, when I went there to locate his grave in 1924 or '25 I found the sandstone grave stones so weatherbeaten I could not decipher the names or dates, but I found his will recorded in Will Book B of the Fayette County records, leaving his brass kettle, several slaves (or, as he called them "servants") and his grind stone, among other treasured items to various children.

Gen 7

From Letter written by Brig. Gen Ellerbe W. Carter, A.U.S. Retired to Judy Madsen, Portland, Oregon, dated 12/8/1969: Kearsley Carter was a very attractive man, a poet and dreamer. Over six feet tall, handsome and talented. Having married the only living child of the thrifty and well to do George Lattimore Douglass, he seems to have decided to devote himself to literature and the bottle for the rest of his life, but he left five children.
