Last week, the statement was made on the 8 -hour program on THE HISTORY CHANNEL that Elvis Presley and June Carter Cash were distant cousins of President Jimmy Carter. Other Internet sites mention the same relationships. The Presley relationship appears probable and there is documentation that supports it. However, none of the sites that allude to the Carter/Carter relationship give any clues to the details of the alleged connection. The published ancestries of President James Earl "Jimmy" CARTER and Valerie June CARTER, wife of Johnny CASH The ancestor charts available for the two lines seem to auger against a close documentable probable connection of the two CARTER lines. Beginning with Generation 5 [2-great grandafathers]on each lines, the following shows the respective ancestries back to England as compiled by different researchers: 1 James Earl "Jimmy" CARTER ... 5 Wiley CARTER 1798-1864 6 James CARTER 1773-1858 7 Kindred CARTER 1750-1800 8 Isaac CARTER 1730-1790 9 Moore CARTER 1680-1741 Isle of Wight Co., VA.) 10 Thomas CARTER c1650-1710=Magdalene MOORE 11 Thomas CARTER SR. 1630-1669=Elinor [some say COOKE] 12 Thomas CARTER 1610-1668 of Isle of Wight Co., VA [Brother: John CARTER of Coratoman, Lancaster Co., VA 1613-1669 =(4) Sarah LUDLOW] 13 John CARTER 1574-1630 = Bridget BENION 14 Thomas CARTER c1528-? = Jone HYLL. 15 Richard CARTER c1500- 1558 = Joan ?. 1 Valerie June CARTER = Johnny CASH ... 5 Dulaney CARTER 1811-1877 = Rebecca SMITH (Scott Co., VA) 6 Williamson CARTER 1773, Fauquier Co.

Does any CARTER researcher have an opinion on this matter? Regards to all, Theron Smith

Theron and all, My bad. It should say Moore not Norris for the child but I do have the wife as Judith Norris. So like I said I do not have Moore Carter as the brother of Peter so I dont know where this Moore Carter come from.

Have you looked at the other side of President Carter's family? I believe his mother was also a Carter descendant so the connection could be there instead.
