Julie:
As more Carters are tested the results will help sort the descendents. For
now since there are only 2 participants who show Charles as their ancestor,
and their DNA does not match, several more descendents of Charles will have
to be tested before it can be determined which are the descendents of
Charles. The one who ends up being "left out" will have to re-examine their
research. Of course, their research may be perfect but there may have been
an out-of-wedlock event, such as the undocumented adoption. There also could
have been a name change where the children took their mother's name.
I believe your Haplogroup is R1b1. Since R1b is the most common, along with
it's subclades, it would be a good idea to upgrade to at least 25. The
members I have included in this group are not closely related. The only way
to know for certain if they are related within a genealogical time frame
would be to upgrade their tests to 25 markers.

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Charles Carter b. 1757 VA
Okay, now I'm confused.
I am trying to research this Charles Carter who was born in 1757 in VA,
because I think he's a genetic distance of 2 from my husband, based on
what
I found at
ysearch.org (although the haplogroup there is listed as
unknown).
So then I looked at the carter-cousins site and realized that there are
two
Charles Carters listed, each with the same family tree, same birthdates
and
birthplaces, same spouse name, and so on, but one is in haplogroup R1b1c6
(Group 4, like my husband) and the other is in haplogroup R1a.
Surely somebody messed up with the testing or something?
Maybe somebody can clue me in about this.
Thanks,
Julie
(My husband is descended from Solomon Carter, b. 1813 in Wilson Co. TN,
son
of Frederick Carter, b. 1769 in VA, who married Nancy Jenkins. My
husband's
haplogroup is R1b1c.)
