Correction! I said something that I didn't mean - The article traces Jimmy
Carter's roots back to John Carter I, the wine merchant in England, and
mentions Thomas, but Thomas is not the ancestor. William is the son of John
Carter I that is the direct ancestor of Jimmy Carter. Sorry for the
confusion.

Subject: Pres. Jimmy Carter's Roots
Jimmy Carter's website simply doesn't go back far enough. I suspect that
they don't want to show any ancestors that are not from Georgia. I am not
sure if attachments will go through, but I am going to try. I have attached
a newspaper clipping from back when Jimmy Carter was President, that
confirms Jimmy Carter's roots go back to John Carter, and also confirms what
I have researched.
John Carter I was a wine merchant in London on Newgate Street, whose sons
were the 3 that I previously mentioned - William, Thomas, and Col. John
Carter. The article states that Jimmy Carter's roots go back to John's son
Thomas, born 1610, and who sailed for VA 25 years later on the ship
"Safety," based on research by Noel Currer-Briggs. If the attachment does
not go through, I will scan the article and send the text.

Odd that his website does not include William Carter.
