hmmm... can't help with Capt William Carver... yet !~).
But all these Albemarle County Carvers are quite intriguing, and likely related to mine. I
haven't yet found a link as to how. My GGGGGGrandfather Henry Carver moved to
Stevensburgh, Frederick County, Virginia (what is now known as Stephen's City, VA)
sometime after 1758... Its likely he had relatives in the area before he arrived... but I
have no proof of that... he was born circa 1735 and dies 1778 at Valley Forge...
His six known children Casper, Valentine, LAWRENCE, Henry W., Elizabeth
(married-Voltman)and Mary spread into Albemarle and Rockingham counties... (or Albemarle
was created out of parts of Frederick...) before my GGGGGrandfather LAWRENCE heads west...
so I'd guess some of the other names mentioned here in recent posts are likely neices
and nephews or cousins to my Carvers...
anyone got a clue?
