• Notes

  Tradition says he was a member of the Orthodox Church, did service in the Revolutionary War, and was regarded as a worthy citizen. Captain Carleton and his wife retained their physical strength to a very great age. He seemed to have possessed a very pleasant disposition accompanied with much good humor or pleasantry. A well authenticated tradition reports that when ninety years of age he and his wife would set themselves upon a horse according to the custom of those early days and ride at full speed, enjoying the recreation with the gaiety and good cheer of a young man and maiden.
