The Carter Society seeks to honor those early Carters who came to the Virginia Colony
to establish a better life for themselves and their progeny, and was established in 2001
with these goals:
1. To promote fellowship and the understanding of family ties among Carters, both then and now;
2. To foster scholarly historical and genealogical research of the Carters in early Virginia, their ancestry and descendants
3. To promote and encourage cooperation among Society members in the dissemination of accurate, documented Carter family historical and genealogical information
4. To promote awareness and the great importance of preserving family documents, photographs, and other family records
5. To promote and support the Society in its endeavor to archive Carter family records of historical and genealogical interest for the benefit of future generations
6. To promote the preservation of all historic, architectural, and archival treasures related to the early Carter families of Colonial Virginia.
Incorporated as a non-profit heritage organization, the Carter Society offers a unique opportunity to come to know
those who share a common heritage, a common interest, and a common goal.
