      ——
      They joined the Newington church 20 Sep 1724 and had three children baptized there. (Mary, Deborah, Sarah)
      By 1726 - the family were tenants on the Packer farm in Greenland, and were admitted to the Greenland church in 1728.
      1735 - the family moved to Scarborough, Maine.
      22 March 1741/2 - Richard was appointed constable of Scarborough.
      He appears to have died by 1757 when his son Benjamin Carter sold land and a house owned by Richard.
      Sarah survived Richard, and on 15 July 1763 "Widdow Catter" was buried. [4]
