I would love to discuss with you a possible connection with our Carlton lines. Trudi (Carlton) Ferguson

Hi Trudi, The Carlton line is my cousin's line, but I am trying to find out what I can about that line. I cannot remember if he said the Carltons came from Wilkes Co, NC, but would welcome your information. What is FTDNA?

There is an excellent book entitled "John Carlton of Orange County and Albemarle County Virginia and Some of His Descendants 1720-1989" by Lt. Col. George H. Carlton. I ordered the book from Lt. Col. Carlton in 1997. At that time his address was 901 Becky Lane Red Oak, TX 75154 Phone 214-617-7519. The brochure reads: "John Carlton is the oldest proven Carlton ancestor of the author. John was born ca. 1720, probably in Virginia. He is listed as a Planter of Orange County VA in 1761 when he and Henry Barlow bought 400 acres in Albemarle County, VA. Family tradition say that John married Elizabeth Wallace ca. 1745 in VA and that he died ca. 1766 or about ten years before the revolution. The five children of this marriage - Elizabeth, Thomas, Lewis, John and Ambrose - left VA during the Revolutionary War. Elizabeth is believed to have married Thomas Barlow and moved to Scott and Nicholas Counties Kentucky with other Barlow families. The four sons and their mother, Elizabeth, were in Wilkes County, NC between 1778 and 1780. The family tradition that said all four sons served in the American Revolution has been proven for three of them and is probably true for the fourth son. The related families of Barlow, Burch, Isbell, Land, Livingston and others also moved to Wilkes County about the same time from VA. Most of these families had something else in common, that of being early Baptist. The author is an eighth generation descendant of the earliest John Carlton and is retired from the United States Air Force." If you can't find the book I would be happy to look up any ancestors you know of & let you know if they are in the book. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jo Ann Whitworth" <whitkid2@bigrivertel.net> To: <ncwilkes@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, October 13, 2006 10:28 AM Subject: Re: [NCWILKES] Lewis Carlton, 1758-1827, Wilkes Co NC > Hi Trudi, > The Carlton line is my cousin's line, but I am trying to find out what I > can > about that line.
