Direct Ancestor of Jimmy Carter
Elinor (Eleanor) was born in 1633 in Bristol, England.[1] Sometimes referred to as "Bristol, Gloucestershire," the city is actually also a county.[2] She was a daughter of William Cooke and Mary Miles.[3]
Her birth date may be an estimate, based on other known historical dates
Elinor married twice.
"Inventory of the estate of my deceased husband, Thomas Carter. Signed Elinor Groves. R. Sept. 9, 1673." [4]
Appraisal of William Groves' estate was presented by "Mrs. Elinor Groves" on "21st of 9 mo. 1677" (21 Nov 1677) and was recorded on 9 Feb 1678[/9?].[4]
Eleanor probably died at Isle of Wight County, Virginia, where she and her husband, William Groves, lived. We do not know the date, as we have no known record of her death.
Her son, Thomas, is considered an ancestor of Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States.[1]
