Some time ago, I remember Neal and I discussing that Thomas had sailed across to NS, and
then walked southward to Massachusetts. This would be an interesting coincidence.

Hello everyone,
My name is C.J.Cooper and I am here in Canada in Summerside,P.E.I.
My wife is a Carrier and the first on Prince Edward Island was a Stephen who
married a Musick around 1824 and another Carrier who married a Musick in
1830 was John Carrier. Now I do not know the parents of these Carriers or
even if they are related,but it is stated that they came across from Nova
Scotia., Now,my theory is,that these individuals are the offspring of Green
Carrier,son of John,son of Andrew,son of Thomas & Martha. Green married
Hannah Lewis in Huntington,New York and went to Annapolis ,N.S. around 1794
but I cannot confirm whether he returned to the states,to Prince Edward
Island,or anything. I have no info on him,his wife,or the names of his
children,but,as you can see,the time frame coincides with the Carriers
arriving on Prince Edward Island,so this is why I think that Stephen and
John Carier may be Green and Hannah's children. If anyone has any leads or
info,I would be so greatful as this has been a roadblock for a long time.
Hello again Neal,haven't been directly in touch,but have checked your
Carrier Homepage regularly. Keep up the good work.

Now this is getting strange! My father, Lester Carrier, owned a business
venture with a man named Rodger Musick in the 1950-60's in upper East
Tennessee. They were not related to each other but were very much like each
other. Wouldn't that just be too coincidental - a couple of hundred or
more years later for another Carrier and Musick to be friends and business
partners! Lordy have mercy!

Oops - I am off on my math in first reply - 1824 to 1950 is just over one
hundred years. Still strange!

Hello again Nicole,
Without cogitating again on this possibility, it still seems far fetched
to me that Thomas
could have survived walking from Nova Scotia thru the wilds of Maine in
1655 and
arriving in Billerica with his hair intact. I still lean to him arriving
in Cambridge via boat.
