I'm aware of the speculation that Thomas' father was Richard, but haven't seen
anything very definitive. Milton Wilson's research simply states that from
Richard's will, it appears he was Thomas' father, but Wilson admits it remains
unproven. If you've seen anything more on that I would be very grateful if you would
share it. Other theories trace us through King and Queen Co. Virginia or the colonies in
Massachusetts. Some lead back to Yorkshire, England, others Penrith, England, Ireland,
Scotland, etc. Everything I've seen states that Thomas was born in Chester Co.
Pennsylvania and married a woman named Martha there. There were a number of Carlton's
there who were Irish immigrants and founders of a Quaker group there, but I've been
unable to connect Thomas to them.
Our shared tree splits after Thomas Jr. Thomas Jr. had a number of children and your Wade
was a brother to my Thomas B. Carlton. Thomas B. died in Texas and my line from him goes
through Arkansas and Oklahoma. My father moved to Oregon in 1962 which is where we are
now.
