Holly -- for novices like me, what is the standard procedure for dealing
with an NPE? Appreciate your insights into issues like these.

Confirmed only by paper-trail. Not confirmed by DNA testing.
And we don't know that the sons of Jenny Terry were not the sons of St.
Leger Landon Carter. An NPE could have happened between a son of Jenny Terry
and Kit # 63875. Or some but not all of the sons of Jenny Terry could
have been sons of St. Leger Landon Carter.
As I have said many times, when you have only one Kit and no match, you
can only assume how far back the Y-DNA really goes.
There is an established procedure for identifying the generation where an
NPE occurred. It just takes more digging and cooperation.
"Therefore, based on the results of Kit 63875 we would have to state the
male who tested is NOT a descendant of Robert "King" Carter and it is NOT
plausible that St. Leger Landon Carter is the Most Distant Ancestor of the
individual who tested."
I agree with the first part in that Kit # 63875 is not a direct paternal
line descendant of Robert "King" Carter. He may be a descendant by some
other line.
As for the second part, I never thought it made sense to list St. Leger
Landon Carter as the Most Distant Ancestor for any Kit since "St. Leger
Landon Carter "of Cleve" 1785 - 1851 is a confirmed Great Grandson of Robert
"King" Carter 1663 - 1732".

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Is Kit 63875 a Descendant of St. Leger Landon
Carter who is
a Great Grandson of Robert "King" Carter?
One of the reasons for my becoming a Carter DNA Project Co-Administrator
was
based on my interest in this question: Is Kit 63875 a descendant of
St. Leger Landon Carter who is a Great Grandson of Robert "King" Carter? That
question plus the fact I have two Landon Carter's in my own Carter line
and there is the fascinating story of this Jenny Terry family.
This family is represented by Kit # 63875 is in the Terry DNA project
and as well
as the Carter DNA project.

Note: Transcription of the Will of St. Leger Landon Carter
There are some researchers who believe that St. Leger Landon Carter "of
Cleve" is in the paternal line of descent of the children of Jenny Terry
mentioned in the will of St. Leger Landon Carter.

haplogroup I1.
Since St. Leger Landon Carter "of Cleve" 1785 - 1851 is a
confirmed Great Grandson of Robert "King" Carter 1663 - 1732 we would expect
any
male descendants of his to test as confirmed haplogroup R1b1a2a1a1a4 [See
Lineage Group R1b - 32 in the Carter DNA project]. Therefore, based on the
results of Kit 63875 we would have to state the male who tested is NOT a
descendant of Robert "King" Carter and it is NOT plausible that St. Leger
Landon
Carter is the Most Distant Ancestor of the individual who tested.
Note: This is a public forum and when responding we do not mention the
names of
the persons who DNA tested.
