Carter, Elizabeth Osborne Grayson Lewis, 1796?-1885

Elizabeth Osborne Carter ran Oatlands Plantation during and after the turbulent years of the Civil War. She first married Joseph Lewis (d. 1834), who had served as a Representative in Congress for the Loudoun, Fairfax, and Prince William counties district. After his death, she married George Carter, great-grandson of wealthy Virginia planter Robert "King" Carter and founder of Oatlands. When George Carter, Sr. (1777-1846) passed away, she continued to live on the plantation with her two sons during the 1850s and 1860s.
