McCarter Guestbook

Thank you so much for all of your excellent research. I am forever grateful for the information you have uncovered regarding the Somerindyke and Gatfield clans.

I found your website and I am very happy to see the work that has went into it. My husband is a decent Stephen and Rosamond Mallory Bourne.

THANK YOU for this website - many hours of research went into the information of which I am thankful.

I am trying to connect line 6 and 7 of my Cole lineage inorder to join the Mayflower Society - I keep getting distracted and it gets overwhelming. I am reviewing your Family Tree to see how I am missing some important Information. My lines are:

Stephen Hopkins

Constance Hopkins Snow

Mary Snow Paine

Mary Paine Rogers

Mary Rogers Cole

and from there, I go cold down to my ancestors connecting them. I am hoping in your Family Tree, I can find Cole information that will help me finalize my application!

Many thanks for this website! Great information.

I am Elijah Pugh's grandaughter. I am wondering if you know where Calvin Pugh is buried. Thank you for putting this site online. It is so interesting to learn about various connections. My grandfather told me stories about living with his grandfather for years after his mother died, and how wonderful it was when aunt Minnie came to live with them for a short while.

Hi Kerry,

Glad you've found my site helpful. I don't know off hand where Calvin Pugh is buried, so would suggest searching findagrave.com or billiongraves.com. Good luck in your research!

~ Kate McCarter

it is with great sadness that i let you know of the passing of Ernest Roy McCarter...on may 27 2020..

I'm directly related to the Overly's who are buried near the chapel. Hoping to visit one day.

Virgie Bell McCarter was my great grandmother. My grand mother was Betty McCarter White. My mother was Janet White. Virgie (granny) raised her along with other brothers and sister.

Hello, I am from the Appalachian area in Clay county Tennessee. My dad is Willard Darriel McCartet and my paternal grandfather was Willard Hershel McCarter and his father was Harrison McCarter whom I never knew. Hoping someone else o n here has a connection. Thanks in advance.

Hello,

My relationship to Stephen Hopkins was the icing on the cake following the long search - more than 25 years - to identify my American soldier father, Allan Russell Edwards. This was made possible through an autosomal DNA test with Ancestry two years ago. I've since made contact with a half-sister in northern Michigan. The Edwards family I come from are Detroit-originated.

I took my family tree back all the way to Stephen Hopkins - one heck of a surprise - on Ancestry, and the line also links to an actual Pilgrim, Thomas Rogers - another surprise.

I am not able to become a member of the relevant Mayflower societies because my starting point - my birth certificate - does not show my father's name, and further DNA testing as required by those societies is impossible - my American father died in 1964, and my mother died more than 20 years ago. I have first and second cousins who have tested on Ancestry, and my Edwards genetic link comes via them. It is not enough for Mayflower membership, which is not actually something I seek.

Still, the European branch of the general Mayflower Societ y has confirmed that my six generations down from Stephen Hopkins match the names already in their database. I am confident that the four further generations linking to my great grandmother are accurate - they have been checked by me multiple times.

So - these are the relevant family names from Stephen Hopkins: Constance Hopkins; Mary Snow-Tholmas Paine; Priscilla Paine-William Norcott; Priscilla Norcott-Malichi Loveland; Priscilla Loveland-William Taylor; Asa Taylor-Lovisa Hoskins; Harriett Taylor-Smith Lowell; Alma J Lowell (my paternal great grandmother)-John A. Edwards.

There 8 Edwards names in the MCarter index, but none match anything I have in my tree. Still, I'd welcome an approach by any Edwards families, especially any with a strong Detroit, Michigan, pedigree.

Other names in my tree not apparently listed in the names index are: Norcott; Loveland; Taylor; and Lowell.

Apologies if I'm mistaken on that last point.

I am British-born and bred, which makes me a rather unusual contributor.

I look forward to hearing from any interested families. My tree on Ancestry is public for anyone interested - D_Hulme75 is my handle.

Regards, David Edwards Hulme.

My mom Rosemary O'Brien and myself have been working on our family tree. My mom's mother was Catherine (sometimes spelled with a K) Pugh married William Scanlon Patrick O'Brien.

Catherine's dad was James M. Pugh married to Dorothy DeMers. James Pugh's father was James J. Pugh married to Julia Clementine Celiste Chaney.

James Pugh's father was John W Pugh married to Cynthia Bourne and, as you know, John Pugh's father was David T. Pugh married to Sarah Greer.

Finding your website has helped us to find other relatives further back and even better read more stories about the Pugh's.

Thank you for this site.
