Good Morning:
I would like to post my interest in this family. I have posted several
queries to the Wiltshire list on this family, but I don't think I've posted
to this surname list.
Here they are:
James CARTER, b. 1769 in Wiltshire (where in Wiltshire is not known, and
this is what has made it difficult to track him down.
James married Charlotte (maiden name unknown), but we have a birthdate of 16
Nov. 1789 for her.
James and Charlotte emigrated to Canada in 1830 with the following children:
John, b. 24 Dec. 1813
Thomas, b. June 1817
James, Jr. b. 1 Sept. 1821
Mary Ann, b. 1 Jan. 1823
Ruth, b. 19 Oct. 1826.
In James' Will, three daughters are mentioned. They are Margaret (married
to a ? Smith); Ann (married to a ? Townsend; and Elizabeth. These three
daughters obviously remained in England.
As mentioned above I have made several queries about this family, but with
no success. We have not been able to determine where in Wiltshire they came
from, and we have no maiden name for Charlotte - this makes it rather
difficult.
However, I thought I would take one more try at posting my interest to this
list to see if there might be any connections.
Sincerely
- Joy
in Canada.
