There were several versions of the Carter Coat Of Arms.  The English tradition of granting a Coat-Of-Arms was awarded to nobility by the crown, thus many Coat-Of-Arms exist for the Carter Family
The Coat Of Arms to the right is believed to have belonged to the Carter's from Garston & London, England.
From early on, the Carter family not only held lands and estates in Winchester, but were also actively allied with other influencial families.  They also branched out into other territories and holdings before taking the long voyage to the new world.
The name Carter first appeared in England in 1361. The name is of Norman descent. The Norman's invaded England in 1066 from Normandy France. The Norman name for trailer pulled behind a horse is Cart. The Anglo Saxon term was known as "Craet" or Chariot and the Roman name (Latin) for chariot is "Carrus. The Gaelic term is "Cairtear" meaning tourist or sojourner.
Carter is an English occupational name meaning transporter of goods
by cart or wagon.
