George Carter I
George Carter I (1777–1846), son of Robert "Councillor" Carter the III and Frances Ann Tasker Carter was an American plantation owner most famous for his building of Oatlands Plantation, an estate located in Leesburg, Virginia, and as one of the wealthiest individuals in Virginia's Loudon County during the early 19th century.〔Oatlands, The Journey Through Hallowed Ground - Gettysburg to Monticello, http://www.hallowedground.org/African-American-Heritage/Oatlands〕
==Early life==
George's father Robert Carter III was famous for his manumission of 452 slaves during his lifetime and for being an outspoken critic of slavery in colonial America. Rather than send George to his own alma mater, William & Mary, Robert sent George to the ''College in the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations'' (now Brown University), writing to its president James Manning that his sole motivation for doing so was Virginia's devotion to slavery, and that "On this consideration only, I do not intend that these two sons shall return to this State till each of them arrive at the age of 21 years."〔(''The Way It Was'' ) in The Free Lance-Star - 8 June 2002.〕
After six years in Rhode Island, George began studying law at the University of Pennsylvania, but left shortly thereafter, relocating in 1798〔http://oatlandsva.wordpress.com/2010/08/19/george-carter-the-slave-owner/〕 at the age of 21 to take up management of the 3400 acres of land his father owned in Loudon County.
