Hello all!
Have hit that well known brick wall, hope someone can help me tear it down!!
I have a Daniel Cartwright married Sally[Sarah] Bowen [Bourne] 1795
in Dighton Mass. They are the parents of my direct line ancester Sarah Palmer
Cartwright who married William Gifford. Nov. 25, 1819 in Dighton Mass.
Have had no luck in finding Daniel's parents.
Daniel and Sarah had the following children, all born in Dighton
Massachusetts:
Daniel Cartwright b.February 21, 1795
Simeon Bowen Cartwright b. February 21, 1798
Sarah Palmer Cartwright b. December 06, 1799
Mary Weaver Cartwright b. January 10, 1802
John Cartwright b September 18, 1803
Thomas Cartwright b. August 04, 1805
It seems that they would used the maiden name of the grandparents in naming
some of the children, as it seems that Sarah Palmer Cartwright had her
grandmother's surname Palmer. I am thinking that maybe Daniel's mother may
have had the last name of Weaver, as in the name of Mary Weaver Cartwright.
Daniel Cartwright was born about 1770's. It is possible that his father's
name was Benjamin, it was found in the following:
From Probate Court Records Taunton Mass. "docket ? book # 150
pg. 197 [1807]
Daniel died in Dighton Mass, he was the heir to Benjamin Cartwright
who was
the son of P.Daniel Cartwright. Administration dated March 3, 1807 signed by
Sally Cartwright [ Sally - Sara snynonamous] "
Because it says that Daniel was "the heir" to Benjamin, and not a
"son" I am
not taking it for certain that he was Daniel's father, as it may be that he
was a brother of said Benjamin.
If anyone knows anything about any of the above people, spouses of the
children etc. I would appreciate hearing from you.
Have a good day!
Marge
