Washington's father might be Thomas Harvey. Is anything more known about this Harvey family? Did they remain in Guernsey Co? There are several Carters in Guernsey Co in 1830: Philip Carter, in Oxford and/or Londonderry TWP. Owned property in both townships. I believe he's on the 1830 census. I am pretty sure I have also seen a court case for him about 1825 where he becomes a citizen (from Ireland). Also on the tax rolls. Levi Carter, in Winchester. Also on 1830 census and 1830 tax rolls (but not on 1831-2 tax rolls; I don't have tax rolls after that; Levi Carter reappears in a probate case in 1838). Levi Carter is from VA. I doubt he could have a daughter born in 1811 as his known marriage is in 1814. I don't know if there are any more. I'm confused about "Sarah married Joseph Taylor..." which Sarah Carter does this refer to? I am exploring some mystery Carter connections of my own, & I am real interested in a Sarah Carter born in VA about 1811. I have an Agnes and Nancy Carter (not necessarily related) who marry two Helm brothers. These two women were born about 1815. The name "Sarah" reappears among Agnes's children. Of course it is a very common name at this time.
