Hi Patty,
Thanks for your e-mail regarding your Cartwright line.
My Cartwrights were, as far as I can tell, were in Indiana in the 1850's.
My grandfather, Charles Leroy Cartwright, was born somewhere in Indiana in
1854. Before that, my g-grandfather, Horace Cartwright must have been in PA
because the 1910 Skagway, Alaska, census states that my g-grandmother was
from PA. My grandfather's death certificate states that Horace
(g-grandfather) was born in Scotland. Unfortunately I know nothing about my
g-grandmother and nothing more about Horace. Charles died in Skagway,
Alaska in 1931. However, he would have been in the state of Washington,
with my grandmother, around 1900. The first evidence I have of them in
Skagway is 1903 when one of my uncles was born. They went to Skagway as
part of the Gold Rush.
My grandmother, Abbie Dishaw Cartwright, b. 6/8/1872 in Maple Grove Twp.,
Saginaw County, MI, moved my father, Harry Mitchell Cartwright, b. February
6, 1912 and her other sons to Everett, WA sometime after 1920. My father's
brothers were Chester, Clarence, John and Fredrick.
Obviously, at some point in time, my grandfather, Charles, was in Michigan
because I have no evidence that Abbie's family moved out of the state of MI
at any time. Give the close proximity to Ohio and PA, it is possible that
my grandfather was in those states at the time stated.
I sincerely hope that some of this information matches what you have because
I've been stymied with my grandfather and g-grandfather prior to Skagway.
Unfortunately, Charles was in his late 50's when my father was born and my
father was in his late 30's when I was born and since Dad moved to Everett
when he was about 8, he never really got to know his dad.
Good luck in your research.
