Quote from Mack

His will was dated June 11, 1751 and was probated Nov. 14, 1752. Banks in his History of Martha's Vineyard, Vol. 3, 66-67, names among the children of Edward Cartwright, Jr. a daughter Sarah, and he does not include the children, Seth and Cyrus. However Banks is the only authority for the statement that Edward Cartwright Jr. had a daughter, Sarah, and may well have been mistaken. It is also presumed that he took the names of the children from the will and that Seth and Cyrus, having died young, were therefore not mentione. There is some confusion among the authorities on the Cartwright genealogy between the children of Edward, Jr., and his son, Bryant, due, perhaps to the fact some of these people were baptised in the Sabbitarian Baptist Church as adults instead of when they were young children. Edward Cartwright Jr. moved from Nantucket to Tisbury on the nearby island of Martha's Vineyard where he lived for a number of years. He is also believed to have resided at Hopkinton, R.I., and is known to have been living at Newport, R.I. on Oct. 19, 1713, when he sold his land at Pocoma, Nantucket, to one Anthony Odar (Abstracts of Nantucket Deeds).^[1]
