Connie Kwasha's "Cartwrights of the Southern United States," has an abstract
of Peter Cartwright's will that lists the following information about his
heirs:
"daughter Sousannah (sic) to receive two hundred dollars when collected from
William Green, Esquire, of the State of Georgia; three sons John, Joshua, and
Jonas Cartwright to receive the land to be drawn for in Georgia; other son
William. My eight children Sarah, John, Elener (sic), Joshua, Jonas, Peter,
Ann, and Elizabeth. Witnesses: William Neil, Pallis Neil, and Samuel Bucks.
Executors: wife Ann Cartwright and son John Cartwright. Recorded 18 March
1808. (Will Book # 5, Pp. 150-152.)"
Ms. Kwasha was unable to obtain a full copy of the will and she reports that
she had little luck in tracing the children after the date the will was
filed. A closer look at Georgia resources to find out whether the sons
mentioned in the will lived on the "land to be drawn for" in that State.
Since the Joshua in your posting of 31 March was mentioned in the will of
Richard Newton, who died in Georgia in 1803, then land records in that
Georgia might be able to connect the dots here. If you would post more
information on Joshua and his descendants, this might help place them in the
context of migration patterns for other members of this rather large family.
