It has always been claimed by my family in Nottingham, England that we are also descended
from John Carver. As I believe he only had 2 children who both died in childhood in
Holland then the only likely connection would be via any brothers or sisters.
Various sources claim that John had brothers William and Isaac, the father of Robert
Carver who certainly went to the USA and is documented quite extensively. There is some
doubt over whether Isaac was John's brother.
I have traced my ancestry back to the marriage of William Carver and Joan Walker in 1696
in Nottingham but can't get back any further.
Maybe your connection is the same as mine ? Any help would be appreciated.
