My Carter line goes back to William Carter and Mary Goodloe. We have a
George W. but he was born in 1784 the son of Elijah Carter in Spots. Co.
VA. I'm still looking for him.

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
