I have info. on Bryant Cartwright, Jr

Question

I have information on Bryant Cartwright, Jr and his kids, if anyone is interested.

Answer 1

I am interested on Bryant Jr and his kids.  I decend from Edward.  Merrick Cartwright (Marit, Merrick, marick, etc).  Merrick lived in  Allegeny County, New York.  Marick was married to Cordelia Duke and one of their children Merrick J Cartwright was my gg grandfather.  One of his sons was Ervin B Cartwriht (Irwin, Erwin, Irving) who was born in Delta County Michigan and then proceeded to Connecticut with one of his brothers Elmer L Cartwright.  Merrick (no middle name) was the son of Bryant Jr. and was born in Pennsylvania.  I do not know where in PA).  You can see the Escanaba Daily Press of November 20 1943 for his obit or on Find a Grave.com for additional information on the car accident Jr. was involved in.  He had married Catherine (Katie, Kate, Kate R, Kate A).  Her last name was Abba.  Father Reinhold Abba.

Comments

It is believed that we descended from Bryant Jr. thru his son Jonathan Cartwright, born 1785 (& a twin). Jonathan died abt 1845 in Berlin, Allegeny, New York. Nelson Cartwright is believed to be Jonathan's son - any mention of this -in records that you have searched? Thanks

Answer 2

There is extensive information on Bryant SR and also on Jr with DAR records.  They were both DAR approved as "patriots".  Bryant Jr is my 5th great grandfather and his son, David C., twin to Jonathan mentioned by Carrie below,  is my connection.

Bryant Jr.'s  children were born in either Rhode Island or Berlin, Rennselaer Co, New York.   There is no Merrick listed for Bryant Jr.....however there was another Bryant born in 1807, son of Cyrus, grandson of Bryant Jr.  in the family.   He moved near Lincklaen, Chenango, New York between 1810 and 1830.  Check the census records.
