Notes:

Name:
Felix Carter is, equally with Thomas Boreman, the ancestor of all descendants of the emigrants Thomas and Samuel Boreman, since the mother of each of these two was his daughter. He is the first of his name in Claydon records, his earliest appearance being July 28, 1577, when the baptism of his son Peter is recorded. the baptisms of his son George and of his oldest daughter Elizabeth, mother of Thomas Boreman, and not on record, and it is possible that the family had, in 1577, recently come to Claydon. Not person of the name appears in the Lay Subsidy lists for Banbury Hundred before Felix himself in 1610. It is not unlikely that a Richard Carter of Horton, "Quarryer," whose will was proved June 12, 1617, was his bother, since Felix named one of his sons Richard. Hornton s also in Oxfordshire, in Bloxham Hundred, some six or seven miles southwest of Claydon. Felix Carter is early fund in connection with the Boremans, as one of the appraisers of the estate of the first Thomas, 2 May 1580.

In a Lay Subsidy list for Claydon, 7th James I (1610), Felix Carter is the first of the only two there named, the other being Matthew Clerke; their tax is the same, iis. viid., and it is 'in terris', that is , on lands. As may be noticed, the taxes before spoken of have been 'in onis,' or on goods. It thus appears that Felix Carter was owner in his own right of the property he occupied, as is shown also by his disposing of it in his will to his daughter Julian and her heirs." The ordinary mode of land tenure in England, as is well known, is by lease from the Lord of the Manor, generally for a long term of years, or for life, the eldest son usually succeeding to the estate on the death of his father, when the lease is renewed. All the Bormans of Blaydon held the land they occupied in this way, and the records of their holdings are perhaps still in existence in the Manor Rolls, which should be at Boughton Castle. Felix Carter was thus, in the above respects, one of the two exceptions among Claydon land-holders, and may be considered to have been one of the richer men in the village. The amount of his inventory considerably exceeds the others of the family found there, and a good share of it was in money, called a debte in the hands of Franncys Ward by specialty." His will is nuncupative, its date, May 29, 1619, the same as that of his burial, being that on which the witnesses gave testimony to the bequests they had heard him declare. His inventory, where he is described as yeoman, was taken on the 31st of the same month. He must have been at his death not far from 70 years old. His widow survived him about a year and a half, her daughter Julian Boreman and her family probably living with her and caring for her during that time. She made her will (Nuncupative) Oct. 14, 1621, and her inventory was taken the 12th of November following. If the date is correct, it was not proved till Apriul 6, 1624, more than two years after her decease.

Felix married Margaret ?. Margaret died before 12 Nov 1622. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
