I sponsor kit 21749, Bernard Dewitt Carter, who was my first cousin (he is
now deceased). We have good records linking us back to Jacob Carter, who
appears for the first time (as far as has been found to date) in the records
of St Bartholomew's Parish, in what is now Colleton County, South Carolina,
new the town of Lodge and Walterboro. We also have 67 point matches with a
number of other people who also believe they come from this Jacob Carter.
We have not been able to get beyond this Jacob Carter.
There is a story that first originated in the 1930s that identified our
Jacob Carter as the son of Moore Carter of Bertie County, North Carolina.
President Carter is reported to descend from this Moore Carter. However,
Moore's son, Jacob, while roughly the same age as our Jacob Carter, has been
shown to have lived and died in North Carolina. The first report of this
mistake appeared in the months after the original report in the 1930s.
Further, the DNA evidence from my Carter line does not match any of the
lines of Virginia Carters that have been published. You would think that
the story would have gone away by now, but you will find this linkage of my
Jacob Carter (of St Bartholomew's Parish, Colleton District, South Carolina)
reported as the son of Moore Carter by
Ancestry.com and the Mormon church.

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Carter DNA Project updates to Results
I'm the new guy on the block and I am trying to work through and update the
Carter DNA test results.
http://www.familytreedna.com/public/carter/default.aspx?section=yresults
I don't mind saying I have Y-DNA tested (Terry) and Family Finder Tested
(Carter). My (EKA) Earliest known ancestor:
Landon Carter b 1757 Caroline Co VA m 1782 Mary Goodrich d 1838 Stokes Co NC
I have a male Carter cousin who has tested in the Carter DNA project listed
as Kit # 198802 Landon Carter 1757 VA - 1838 NC
My Carter male cousin is in Lineage group R1b - 99 and do not match any
other Carter males who have tested.
I will try to answer any questions you might have on genealogy and genetics
as long as it does not breach confidentiality.
