Hello All,
14833 is the descendant who comes from Robert King Carter.. He has very good information
to prove it.. However, though our Cary # 40186 , we can not..
That was one reason we did the Dna.. We had long been told we descended from King Carter,
but you can not always believe what you are told.. We try to document everyhing..
And The Carter Society ,from what what I understand, wants 3 DNA test fom various members
of a family to solidate the finds. being costly, and being that our Carter surname has
been blessed with women more than men, we cannot obtain the three test.
But at least this site has helped us validate which direction we should be following for
clues in furthering our ancestry.
And as I have been reading quite alot about DNA testing, there are many scientist who
think that one marker change can take place in one generation ?
And I have meant to ask Kathy about the Well's name, being that our ancestor left
Virginia and came to Kentucky with a Peter Wesley Wells', and their seemed to be a
kinship to them of some sort.

I don't get it! How can they both be from the king Carter
family, yet their DNA isn't even close??? I would venture to say they aren't
both 'King' Carter lines?? I was told on the 'Wells' DNA site, that if
you are ONE marker off when doing a 12 marker test, they could be up to 35 generations
apart from each other. And that is only one marker off.
I can see why I missed # 17720 as being King Carter lineage because it is a mess. I
wish someone could go in there and clean that up so we could see the lineage better.
At least put a line space between each name. I can't make heads or tails of it, and
I don't have enough time to print it and try to sort it out. I'm guessing they
have the 'proof' linking each generation? Does anyone know?
The other #14833....unless #17720 is wrong, then I would say # 14833 is not from that
line?????
Please help me out here. Am I crazy or is this not adding up?
Thanks, Kathy Wells.

Soooo, am I understanding this correctly. After looking at the DNA website
then, that no one has done DNA that actually has documented the fact that
they descend from Robert 'King' Carter??? I didn't see that Robert
anywhere, or did I just look too quickly? If he is there, which group is
it? Maybe we could label the groups, possibly with the oldest proven or
best known ancestor listed by the group number???
