Notes
George Carter, of "Corotoman", Lancster Co., VA.
Frederick Mortimer Cabell was a member of the Virginia Convention of 1861 that met to decide the issue of secession. A successful planter in Nelson County, he served several undistinguished terms in the House of Delegates in the 1840s and in the Senate of Virginia during the 1850s. The legislative journals contain little information about his actions in the assembly, and his service at the secession convention also was uneventful. According to pay lists, Cabell was present for the entire session, but on thirty separate days his vote was not recorded, including the first vote on secession on April 4, 1861. Cabell did not make any significant speeches or introduce any substantive resolutions or amendments. But he was there, and his signature is on the Ordinance of Secession.
