Robert Braswell Carver was the son of Ann Carver and Richard Braswell who relocated from Edgecombe County about 1752 to live on the western banks of the Cape Fear River where Richard ran a ferry. Edgecombe County Deed Book III, 1747 pg. 177, proves the parents of Robert.
Robert probably married his wife, named Mary MNU (maiden name unknown) before arriving in Cumberland County. Her name was found on a February 1765 Land Transaction. She appears to have died shortly after this transaction.
Due to legal complications, 1758-1760, the courts ordered the children of Ann and Richard to use the Carver name. In 1754, Robert patented 100 acres on Raft Swamp in Cumberland County, NC.
Cumberland County Court Records held at the NC State Archives report that Robert served on jury duty, helped to lay off roads. Prior roads had been the paths and trails used by the Native Americans, widened enough for wagons to pass.
The will of Robert Carver was Proved in the May 1767 Term, Cumberland County, NC by oath of John Elwell, son-in-law to be. This document named the following children: Isom (Isham) Carver, Ann Carver, Milley (Amelia) Carver, Susannah Carver, Mary Carver, Elizabeth Carver and Margaret Carver.
The interment of Robert and Mary Carver, while unknown, is believed to have been in the area of the Rockfish Creek and the Cape Fear River. Nature has reclaim.
