Okay, I shared this "marriage certificate" info with the Giles Carter group (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Giles_Carter/ ) and I now have a better idea of what
happened.
The "marriage certificate" you are talking about at
Ancestry.com is NOT an
historical document. It is what someone has *claimed* in their tree.
Ancestry.com is
just passing along more of the same wild *claims* that are posted all over they Internet
(for free).
I'd like to repeat; I have seen NO PROOF that Hannah's original surname was Crews
(or Crewes). I have seen NO PROOF that Hannah was a daughter of James Crews.
What I have seen are a lot of bogus claims that keep getting repeated year after year
after year.
Personally, I think the discussion regarding Hannah's ancestry and origin should be
carried to the general CARTER mailing list ( carter(a)rootsweb.com ) or the Giles Carter
group or (continued) on one of the discussion boards because it is not a question that can
be addressed by Carter Y-DNA testing.
Here is a link to a discussion that was started back on September 13, 2008. It is just
one of many.

Subject: [CARTER-DNA] Hannah Crews and Giles Carter
Has anyone ordered the marriage certificate now showing on ancestry for
Hannah Crews and Giles Carter.
There is more than one. One tho is interesting because it shows Hannah
born in PR, which is Barbados per the index. Interesting since some of
the guys hanged with Crewes were sent to Barbados as punishment for 7 years.
The other 2 show EN for Hannah so I am wondering if the mother is
actually the one born in PR(Barbados). This is odd, but could offer some
clues to Hannahs mother if accurate that Barbados was her origin or
mothers origin. Many african and native americans were sent and brought
back from English owned islands.
If anyone has seen the original please email. I may order it if no one
has seen it.
