• Notes

  He was a yeoman farmer. "Felix Carter was perhaps the man of that name who on 20 January 1603 gave a statement in a hearing into possible misuse of lands given for charitable use in Bloxham, Oxfordshire, a village 4–5 miles south of Over Worton. He was likely the man of that name incidentally mentioned in the marriage settlement between Sir Edward Raleigh and Dame Katherine Raleigh of 31 March 1611, as the previous occupant of a piece of property known as Upper New Ground lying in Farnborough, Warwickshire, a village close to Claydon. On 2 June 1613, he was a party to a land sale of ¾ of a yardland belonging with a messuage occupied by a Richard Wadye in Claydon. The land was purchased by Francis Ward of Claydon, Felix's son-in-law, for £90. This probably correlates to the 'debte in the hands of Franncys Warrd by specialty' mentioned in Felix's estate inventory; he probably helped his son-in-law purchase the property. Felix left an estate of more than £130, though the bulk of that was tied up in the loan to his son-in-law. Felix Carter's will of 1619 only mentioned his home, Dunn house, and an orchard next to it in Claydon; most of his land holdings were likely sold or passed on to his children before his death."
