While I'd hoped that this man was the common ancestor of my husband's mother's Carter line, he was not. Bob's ancestry goes back to the Capt. Carter who was born in 1603. I'd love to hear from anyone who has this line in his/her ancestry and can tell me more about this family. I'm doing a genealogy project for his nieces and nephew, their progeny, and sons and grandchildren of Bob's. The sea Captain Thomas Carter in my line was born at Bolton, Yorkshire, England on May 5, 1828. He apprenticed as a sailor at the age of 14, and captained his first ship at the age of 19. He married Elizabeth Sharp in Montreal June 3, 1851. He died in Rockford, Illinois May 8, 1911. My cousin is a genealogist and sent me copies of his three obituaries and his biography. I'd be happy to share these with anyone descended from this Captain Carter. He was a very interesting man. Grace Carter Winters __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The site is : www.carter-cousins.org Gary Boyd Roberts in ANCESTORS OF AMERICAN PRESIDENTS placed this Capt. Thomas Carter b.1630 and Arabelle Williamson as maternal ancestor of Pres. Theodore Roosevelt. Others have placed this Thomas and Arabella as maternal ancestors of June Carter Cash. Attempts to place former president Jimmy Carter as descendant of Thomas and Arabella appaear to be invalid. More likely, he is from Thomas Carter b. 1630 who married Elinor Cooke who was a grandson of John Carter and Bridget Benion.
