Sorry, there's no Redmon in the books I have here at home. My
Cartwrights were Huguenots that fled France in mid 1500s during the
Edict of Nantes and name spelled as Carteret. Next I found them in book
by Connie Cartwright Kosloski ? which I have misplaced. She found them
in Zeeland, Eng. or low countries as mariners then to St. Mary's
Co.,Maryland. In an old leather bound book re Texans that is no longer
in the Ft.Worth, TX library, it said three brothers from England came to
early (pre Alamo) TX, Matthew, John and Thomas Peter (not the minister
Peter). In the 1600s there is a Mr. Cartwright that I understood was
like a secretary to the family that paid his passage. I have Thomas I,
II and III in my line that settled in the Carolinas, mainly Pasquotank
Co., NC as Thomas T. (unknown) m. Grace Halley in 1693 ? in Pasquotank
Quaker Meeting Hse. My gr-grfa,Thomas, b. 1805 in NC m. Native Amer.,
(forgot), with two dtrs and two sons came to Cherokee Co.,TX on 1850
Census and buried in Alba, TX. There was a Robert who was on the
expedition of the Carolinas, and I believe Carteret Co. was named for
him even though the administrator didn't know. This is from memory as
Geek Squad transf. my info to new PC and I haven't learned how to open
it yet.
There were some Cartwrights in Delaware and northern states. Some say
the Cartwrights are from landed gentry in Eng. I'm still on the Trail
of Tears for the Choctaw side of me! There are numerous black
Cartwrights that I think began when (forgot) gave his two sons a negro
woman named Beck. Then there was a John Notely ?, 55 yr. old mulatto,
that had three pages of slaves on
