Hi Melinda, Well, I can sort of tie into the Conrad Cart lines. Actually this line, is why I am interested in the Carts. Descendants of Mathew Conrood Cart 1 Mathew Conrood Cart b: 1862 in Greenbrier County, Virginia d: 1895 .. +Rosantha C. Jarrett b: 1862 in Elk District, Kanawha County, Virginia d: 1890 . 2 Effie Cart ..... +? Clark . 2 Wilbur Cart . 2 Albert Vincent Cart b: 1882 in Elk District, Kanawha County, Virginia ..... +Sarah Polly Samples b: Abt. 1879 in Nicholas County, West Virginia . 2 Mary E. Cart b: 1885 in Elk District, Kanawha County, Virginia . 2 Henry Thornton Carte b: 1888 in Elk District, Kanawha County, Virginia d: 1969 ..... +Eva M. Carnes b: September 09, 1901 in West Virginia d: January 30, 1987 .... 3 Matthew Thornton Carte .... 3 Henry Frye Carte .... 3 Madelyn Carte ........ +? Newhouse .... 3 Maxine Carte ........ +? Jarrett .... 3 Effie Carte ........ +? Pauley . 2 Charles W. Cart b: August 15, 1890 in Elk District, Kanawha County, Virginia Do you connect to the above line? I have another BOOK! :-) Unfortunately it does not agree with everything that you list for information about this family. :-) That is not to say that your information is incorrect, just that there is alternative info. From what I am figuring out the David Thomas Line, that I am making a stab at researching, must tie into this cart line, in some way. I am still studying it. The book, which lists alternative info for the line of Conrad [Coon-rod] Cart and Mary Vance is: Ancestors of KVGS [Kanawha Co.] members Vol 5. The contributer is Judith c. Brinegar, 1490 Norwich Rd. Winston-Salem, NC 27107. It was apparently contributed in 1986. She is related to the line through George Washington Cart, who married Sophie Russell Taylor, Okey Gerald Cart, and his son Russell Leroy Carte. She is the dau. of Russell Carte and married David Keith Brinegar. I am wondering if the Conrad Cart that you list could be the son of one of Adam Karg's brothers/sisters maybe? We may be dealing with two Conrad Carts here. I will try to form a better message with the differences in the information, soon as I can. The book says that Conrad Cart was b. in 1784, in Kanawha WVA. And Mary Vance, was b. in 1780. Richard David Carte b. 1821 in Greenbrier Co. and he married Sybil Scott, who was b. and d. in Greenbrier Co. That gives you a start on the problem. I have some info from another good Cart researcher, and will look that info up too, soon as I can. Have to take a lunch break right now....:-) Can there be two Conrad Carts married to Mary Vance, who had a son Richard David Carte? :-) Happy hunting.
