This thread has interest to me as well. I am a member of group 3 and I am
stuck there with no new info. My intact Carters only go back to James L.
Carter b. 1831 from Frederick/Clarke Co. VA. Any ideas would be appreciated.
I was one of the first in the DNA project and have been in neutral ever
since.

Hi Chuck,
You are correct - it is what I wrote several e-mails ago. William Carter is
the direct ancestor of President Carter, and his brothers were Col. John
Carter (father of Robert "King" Carter) and Maj. Thomas Carter (father of
Capt. Thomas Carter). Their father was John Carter I, b. 1574). What really
interests me is that you state you are also related to William of Middlesex
and Mary Goodloe. Do you know how you are related? Is it on the paternal or
maternal side? I have been trying to find the link between the William
(1600) son of John Carter I and the William of Middlesex who married Mary
Goodloe. Help!
What I also find curious is that your DNA is not a match or a closer match
with Group 5, who also goes back to John Carter I (1574), or Group 2, who
goes back to William of Middlesex (1641).
By the way, William did marry Avis Turtley, but most if not all of his
children were born to Alice Croxon. From my notes:
"Notes for WILLIAM CARTER:
William Carter first appears in the records of James City County 1 March
1622/23. He with some other young men were brought to account for killing
and eating a calf (Journal of the Council and Gen. Ct of VA, pp3-4).
In 1624 he was single and living on James City Island. Ca 1625/29 he married
possibly two of his three wives. Either #1 Avis Turtley or #2 Ann Mathis was
the one whom the court reprimanded in 1629 for calling "Cozen Gray's wife"
a
"whoore" (Journals, pp 197-98). By 20 May 1636 he was married to his third
wife Alice Croxon of London. He had died by 1655."

Carter cousins,
After seeing this message, I rechecked my family tree # 14490. (John
Carter, 1574) Problem is that it only shows one line, that of my direct,
William Carter (1610) of Surry Co., VA. This William is Pres. Carter's
ancestor, and I hold this William to be a brother of Col. John (1610) of
Corotoman. I am also related to William of Middlesex and Mary Goodloe, but
this is another convoluted line.
