Carter myths that just won't die
In spite of Y-DNA data, there are some Carter myths that just won't die.The old incorrect claims continue to be copied and perpetuated around the Internet.
The following seven Carter men have all been confirmed by Y-DNA triangulation:
R1b-32 : Robert "King" Carter of Virginia (~1662-1732) [from Richard Carter (~1500-1558) of Garston Manor, Watford Parish, Hertfordshire, England]
R1b-04 : Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. of Isle of Wight County, Virginia
R1b-02 : Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. "of Barford" of Lancaster County, Virginia (wife Katherine Dale)
I-03 : Jacob Carter of Colleton County, South Carolina
E1b :John Carter, Sr. of Watauga (Carter County, Tennessee)
R1b-01 : William Carter of Middlesex County, Virginia
Q-01 : Thomas Carter, Sr. of Goochland County, Virginia
So, I don't care what the old genealogy books say, Y-DNA testing has shown that:
- Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. of Isle of Wight County, Virginia (wife Elinor Cooke, not Tooke) was NOT a paternal line cousin of Robert "King" Carter.
- U.S. President Jimmy Carter is NOT related to Robert "King" Carter along their direct paternal lines.
- Jacob Carter of Colleton County, South Carolina was NOT a paternal line descendant of Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. of Isle of Wight County, Virginia.
- John Carter of Watauga was NOT a direct paternal line descendant of Robert "King" Carter.
- Capt. Thomas Carter, Sr. of Lancaster County "of Barford" (wife Katherine Dale) was NOT a paternal line cousin of Robert "King" Carter.
- Thomas Carter, Sr. of Goochland County, Virginia was NOT a son of Giles Carter, Sr. of Henrico County, Virginia.
- Thomas Carter, Sr. of Goochland County, Virginia was NOT a son of William Carter of Middlesex County, Virginia -- not by his wife Penelope Pew and not by his wife Mary Goodloe.
