Message Board Post:
Hi Nancy,
First let me say that Bobbi requested an email in the posting (for reasons unknown to me).
So that's why I chose that path. When it didn't work I came back to the Board in
a failed attempt to find out if there was still interest in being contacted. As you now
know, I can be contacted through the Message Board and through direct email. I will also
respond to your email separately.
I didn't have any direct connection for Bobbi, but I had what I though was an
intriguing piece of information for her which indicated a remote chance we could have been
related. Now I guess there's a remote chance that you and I might be related. So, I
will respond to your email separately and also respond to your posting by including here a
part of my response (which included other research suggestions) to Bobbi:
"CYRUS H CARVER: I have a Cyrus H. Carver (middle name unknown) b. 1848 in Searsport
ME who married Clara Harrick. Not your g.grandfather to be sure, and also not your
g.g.grandfather (which would be the first obvious question) since his father was John
Carver b. 1799 in ME. But I find the Cyrus Hoyt Carver similarity very intriguing ...
like did he come down a different branch? And did the families know each other? Was he
into ship building or sea Captain(ing), like my ancestors?"
Nancy, if you have any information about your Carver line that I might be interested in,
please advise. Thank you for your inquiries.
Don
