There is a great site for research from the LDS site. Has lots of Cartwright
census and death records of Texas.

Yes, I had checked out your line. I think it is somewhat likely that
I am
related to those in Wise Co.

Dear Jill
There were two sets of Cartwrights in Texas at the time of the War for
Texas
Independence. Their relation to each other is unknown.
I am descended from Thomas Peter Cartwright Jr., who was one of Austin's
Original 300. If you are a Texian this is a big deal; if not, you have my
sympathy. :-)
Thomas Peter Jr's children were/included
Maria C (my g-g-grandmother) m. Charles L. S. JONES
Matthew b. ca 1816 Alabama
Thomas Peter III 4 Apr 1819-1 Oct 1855 no issue
James M
Narcissa (outlived 3 husbands)
Martha m. Lewis Laishance (sp. varies tremendously)
Joseph
Clarissa
Williford
Lemuel
William P (16 Mar 1813 - 25 Oct 1844)
There is a Cartwright family cemetery just outside Conroe Texas
Hope this helps
Nick Gilliam

Subject: [CARTWRIGHT] Need info on William L. Cartwright
Some years ago my brother, Wilson Lackey, did a YDNA test. This was done
because upon the death of my father, my aunt told me that our surname was
not supposed to be Lackey. Our ggrandmother was a Lackey, but her
husband/partner was not. His first/middle name was supposed to be William
Lemuel and my aunt thought the name might be Cartwright, or some variation
of that name. After years of waiting the got a 36-marker match with two
individuals with name variations of Cartwright. This means that it is
over
99% certain that our ggrandfather was a Cartwright (or Catrett/Carteret).
We checked the places were our ggrandmother lived at the time she would
have
conceived my grandfather (b. 9/21/1880). She lived in district #1 of Wise
County, TX and in that district was a single man named William L.
Cartwright
(1857-1888), a son of a Lemuel Cartwright. We are now seeking any
additional information about him. Family history has our ggrandfather
also
dying in 1888 from "consumption." We suspect this is the person (although
there is one other possibility not yet checked out in Fayette Co, TX that
we
are pursuing). I have repeatedly tried to get in touch with Bob
Cartwright
of this family, but he has not returned any emails.
Does anyone have any information at all on William L. Cartwright? His
informaiton has him single until his death in 1888, but I am looking for
any
other clues that might tie him to my ggrandmother.
