Genell,
My Great Grandfather, John (Henry?) Jay Crittenden Cartwright was a
sheriff in Thompsonville, IL and was killed there. His family came from
VA, I don't have and Cartwrights in Indiana. It seems that I work all
the time with little time to do research. (Business owner with no hope
for retirement) Finding the article about GG John's shooting in
Thompsonville is on my to-do list.
Good Luck,
Lucy
Do you by chance have any Cartwrights that settled in Charlestown
Indiana? I've searched my mothers Cartwrights back to early 1800's. I have a
father Steven or (stephen) cartwright? Married Mary Smith?had sons James, William, John
Stephen, Ithink there was a Charles too

Subject: [CARTWRIGHT] Kentucky Cartwrights
Dear Cousins,
Just thought I would put in a word for the Kentucky Cartwrights. I,
too, am a daughter of a Cartwright. My mother was Alice Cartwright and
her GG Grandfather was Justinian (Jesse) Carl Cartwright (b 2-22-1752
in Fairfax, VA), who led the original families who settled our part of
the country from Virginia. The last ancestor I have in this line is back
to Hugh Cartwright (b. abt 1485 in Ossington, Nottinghamshire, England).
Also, Mathew Cartwright (b. 23 Oct 1634 in Middelburg, Zeeland Province,
Netherlands -d.1689 in Mary's County, Maryland). Any of this sound
familiar to anyone?
