  http://www.carter-cousins.org/kits/17720.htm HISTORY OF SUDLEY POST OFFICE Antebellum History of Sudley Post Office Sudley Post Office sits on land that was originally part of the Middle Bull Run tract acquired by Landon Carter, Sr. from his father Robert "King" Carter (Joseph 1996b:3.2). Landon Carter, Sr. passed the portion of land to contain Sudley Post Office to his son John (1739-1789). John Carter built Sudley Manor, which along with Pittsylvania (built by his brother Landon Carter II), was one of the first large-scale agricultural operations in northern Prince William and western Fairfax Counties. According to the Prince William County Land Records, Landon Carter sold the mill complex along with 100 acres of land to Peyton Neville, Benomi Harrison, James MacRae, and John W. Tyler in 1835. This 100 acres included the area on which Sudley Post Office now sits. In the 1840 Federal Census, Peyton Neville's household is listed as containing 33 members of which 22 were slaves and 2 were involved in manufacturing. Given the proximity of the listing to the Sudley area, Peyton Neville more than likely resided in the vicinity of the mill complex. In 1847, Neville sold the mill complex along with the 200 acres, including the land on which Sudley Post Office sits, to R.C. Mackell for $5500. The discrepancy between the original 100 acres and the reported 200 acre sale may have resulted from an original surveying or recording error. Less than two years later, Neville passed away at the Prince William County seat of Brentsville. R.C. Mackell owned Sudley Mills for almost ten years. In the 1850 census he is listed as a doctor residing in the area of Sudley with $6000 in real estate. Dr. Mackell was born in Maryland, as was his wife Harriet Mackell and sister-in-law Eliza Bennet. Joseph Butter, a miller, is listed as living adjacent to the Mackell household, possibly in the miller's house. The industrial schedules of the 1850 Census list a grist and saw mill operated by R.C. Mackell. For that year, the mill processed 1500 bushels of corn, 20 tons of plaster, and cut 20,000 feet of timber planks. The amount of grain processed was moderate to small in comparison to other mills in the area, which averaged around 3000 bushels. In 1856, Mackell sold the Sudley Mill tract to Robert F. Carter. In 1859, his cousin, Robert Carter Weir, bought the Sudley Mills complex along with the 200 acre tract === The Virginia Genealogist Volume 30, 1986 [John Frederick Dorman] Page 143 1775-1803 British Mercantile Claims Claim of Rebecca Backhouse (Page 62]: Landon Carter, £135.6.9; Estate of John Carter, £116.19.3.
