Holly, have any of the Carter males proven to be descended from these
Garston Manor Carters done DNA testing?

There are two places in England called Garston and Carter's lived
in both of them. One Garston is a district of Liverpool (Lancashire). The other Garston
is in Hertfordshire.
I am interested in the Carter's of Garston Manor, Watford Parish, Hertfordshire,
England. The Carter's owned Garston Manor from 1534 to 1666. The house that stands
there today is called High Elms Manor and has been used for several movies and is also
used for wedding and other special events.

The house that stands there today was build around 1812 -- long after the Carter's
sold Garston Manor in 1666. I'm wondering what happened to this Carter family after
they sold Garston Manor in 1666.
A picture of the Coat of Arms for this Carter family can be found here:

Robert "King" Carter, the first millionaire in the U.S. is said to be from the
Carter's of Garston Manor (Hertfordshire).
