John Carter (abt. 1695 - bef. 1736)

Are we sure about his wife? Rebecca Arabella (Unknown) is usually shown in genealogies as the wife of Sheriff John Carter. Also, shouldn't we change this person's name from "John" to "Unknown"?

Carter-4689 and Carter-3764 appear to represent the same person because: same spouse

Carter-12915 and Carter-4689 do not represent the same person because: The proposed "John Carter" is not a descendant of Paul Carter, as well documented by Paul Heinegg.

Carter-4689 and Carter-3764 do not represent the same person because: The proposed "John Carter" is not a descendant of Paul Carter, as well documented by Paul Heinegg.

Six direct male line descendants of Solomon Carter of Point of View Plantations carry an African Y chromosome (though they present as European). The 1800 US Census enumerates all the family as "All other free persons, except Indians not taxed" (in other words, they were not enumerated as "white.) Solomon's pedigree to Paul Carter has been well documented by Paul Heinegg. The conflation of these ascendant lines for Solomon Carter appears to be the existence of same named Carters in close proximity in place and time. There should be no merge.

Carter-12915 and Carter-4689 appear to represent the same person because: Father of John Carter, who is the father of Solomon and Thomasina.

Here is an interesting blog that discusses the descendants of Thomas Carter and Magdalen Moore: https://sallysfamilyplace.com/maple-lawn/thomas-carter-magdalen-moore/

It shows a portrait of Thomas Carter that hangs in the headquarters of the Duplin county, North Carolina Historical Society.

The picture is followed by a lot of comments by possible descendants who share their DNA results.
