Hi Joyce - My Carter lineage seems to be pretty obscure - they moved to South Carolina in
the 1700's, then Thomas Carter moved to Meriwether County, GA, married Sarah Pearson
after his first wife died, then migrated to Coosa County, AL by 1850. I don’t think
Thomas or his issue are related to those you are studying.
I have not had DNA testing performed.

Subject: [CARTER] Levi Carter and Elizabeth Howard
I am working on two different lineages of Levi Carter. The first is that of Jenette
Coolidge. We have successfully proven that Levi Carter who m. Elizabeth Howard is the son
of Nathaniel Carter and is of Cherokee Heritage. This lineage has been accepted into the
First Families of the Cherokee Nation. Jenette has her certification. Her brother will
soon have his. THIS DOES NOT mean they are eligible for citizenship. It simply means
they are of Cherokee heritage. Among the children is Sarah Carter, Mrs. John
Kelly.....and, of questionable family membership is Nathan who m. Zena unknown.
Am also researching the lineage of Mr. Michael Briggs. Unconfirmed, but Michael’s lineage
is thought to be from Nathan and Zena Carter.
There is a match in autosomal dna between Michael and Jenette although it is small
numbers. I would like to be able to have others in the lineage of Levi Carter. I would
like to see if there are others who match either of these two. Both these have their
results on FTDNA and have uploaded to gedmatch also.
Have any of you Carter descendants had dna testing at ancestry or the family finder at
familytreedna.com?
Would any of you who have had autosomal testing be willing to upload your results and your
gedcom to
www.gedmatch.com (it is a free site).
Glad to answer questions and help......
