Kindred Carter b 1750
James Carter 1773

Comments by Robert Mike Terry, Administrator concerning the possible DNA connections.....
I would love to see the Y-DNA test results of President Carter. Of course, theoretically,
IF President Carter is a descendant of the group claiming descent from Thomas Carter of
the Isle of Wight County, Virginia [Group R1b - 04] then his Y-DNA would match that
grouping. I would like to state that I do have written communication signed by President
Carter and he indicated he did not think he was related to the Robert "King"
Carter. Again, IF his statement is true and the Thomas Carter of Isle of Wight is his
line then in this case the Y-DNA tests of males in our Carter DNA project
confirm
President Carter's statement to me.
Both groups do have confirmed matching haplogroups; however, their MRCA (Most Recent
Common Ancestor) would probably be farther back in time rather than a more recent
genealogical time frame.
See Group R1b - 04 [R1b1a2a1a1b4]
See Group R1b - 32 [R1b1a2a1a1a4] <----- Accepted Y-DNA of Robert "King"
