The genealogy landscape has changed since 1999. DNA testing is the way to go. The Carter
Surname Project at Family Tree DNA now has 438 members:
Lots of books have been written about many different Carter lines. I have not seen a
genealogy book that did not contain errors. Just because something is published in a book
that does not mean it is true.

Information from pieces of paper.
Grandfather Frank V. Carter 1880-1957 siblings George, Harry 1889-1961, William and Rosa.
Frank V. Carter’s father was Thomas R. Carter 4/17/1856-8/17/1943 married to Elizabeth
Wallace 1861-1940. Thomas R. Carter was born near Waynesboro, Nelson County, Virginia.
Thomas R. Carter 4/17,/1856-8/17/1943 siblings were Anna, John, Louis, Lucky, Berdie and
Betty.
Thomas R. Carter’s father was John F. Carter and first wife and mother Martha
Butler/Carter and second wife was Amanda Cook/Carter. Note says He was German descent and
she Irish extraction. John F. Carter 12/30/1830-7/13/ siblings Thomas, William and Mary.
John F. Carter father was Thomas Carter wife Anna Blacker or Black. Around 1804.
Thomas’s father was Thomas Carter born around 1775, wife Susanna Dudley born around 1775.
Married Sept. 5, 1795. Siblings John 1796-1850, Judah 1800-1870. Thomas B. (JR) 1805-?,

I understand there is a book titled “A History of the Carter Family”
Congress # 75-187586. How can one purchase it?

>> Hello -- I have seen these email addresses in my search for my ancestry and
wanted to reach out to see if you could help me out a bit. I have just started my journey
and would love any help in correcting what I have completed so far.
>>
>> I am a descendant of Jasper Burkett (1877 - 1917) and Jospehine Carter (1880 -
1920).
>>
>> I have Josephine Carter being the daughter of Lewis Benton Carter (1844-1930)
and Rhoda Waits (1843-1909).
>>
>> I have Lewis Benton Carter being the son of George Washington Carter (1800-1875)
and Nancy Hasty (1803-1850), although some sites seem to say Nancy Arnold is his Mother
even though it appears Nancy Arnold was the 2nd wife of GWC and did not marry him until
1851 which was AFTER Lewis Benton Carter was born.
>>
>> But, here is where I get a bit unclear. On the paternal side, I think George
Washington Carter's parents are John Carter (1772-1805) and Isibiah Zibiah
(1772-1861). I cannot find parents for Isibiah. For John Carter, I am showing his parents
to be George Carter (1740-1784) and Naomi Turk (1749-1796). I am showing George
Carter's parents to be Richard Carter (1712-1788) and Margaret Bruce (1726-1777).
Going back further than this, I get even more cloudy. I am showing Richard's parents
as James Carter (1675-1714) and Susannah Griffith (1681-1770), but have nothing on James
parents other than a reference to a William who came over on a ship called the
"Providence" with his SECOND wife and only scant information that shows
Susannah's parents as possibly James Griffith and Dorothy Mostyn. I have some
information on Margaret Bruce that I would love to confirm as well.
>>
>> Additionally, I would love to confirm information on Naomi Turk's line as I
have her parents as John Turk and Agnes Smith, but no information on Agnes's parents
and the information on John has his parents as Robert Turk and possibly Margaret Kerr, but
completely unconfirmed.
>>
>> How much of the above is incorrect? I am considering doing the 23andme DNA
testing and wanted to explore as much as possible before going down that route.

>> Thanks,
>> Justin
