SELECTED GENEALOGY DESCENDANTS OF REV. THOMAS CARTER WITH CONCENTRATION UPON THE WISCONSIN CARTTERS

At this point in the manuscript, I will be actively editing as I go along. All information from this point forward will be updated as needed, and as I receive information form family sources. Those sources will be credited. Any discepencies will be fully aired, with all conflicting information posted until a definitive source document can put the matter to rest.

The name Carter is a very common one in early New England history and it is therefore hard to be positive about early relationships. For instance there were four Thomas Carters who migrated from England to America in 1635. All were about the same age, 25 yrs., and none came together on the same ship. Three of the four landed in Massachusetts and one in Virginia. It is thought that this last one might have traveled north to New England.

One of these original four was later to become Reverend Thomas Carter, the American Ancestor from which the Wisconsin Cartters descended. The matter of how we came by the two “Ts” is not explained, but from 1800 on the line of descent used here followed that spelling. So far as we know no other family with that spelling has lived in Wisconsin. Needless to say, if there are others we would be delighted to know about them.

A GUIDE FOR EASY REFERENCE

For those unfamiliar to the form used here we point out. —
1.
The number in this position on the page indicates that this person’s immediate family record follows. (In this case No.1 is Rev. Thomas Carter)

No’s. *2-3-4-5-6-7-*8-*9 are sons and daughters of Rev. Thomas.

(*) as used before 2-8-and 9 above, indicates that family records of these individuals will be found in the succeeding generation.

A number associated with the name of a son or daughter (such as (2) Rev. Samuel) will be further associated with that individual if his name is later referred to in introducing sons or daughters.

Here is where the advent of HTML will collide with the original paper-and-pencil method of numbering used by my Grandfather. Instead of trying to continue his numbering system (since there are members of the family that are not listed in the original that will inevitably be listed in this version) I will be using a hybrid version. What does this mean? Essentially, the original manuscript has a set of numbers already assigned to the members of the family. “New” or more properly “newly listed” members will be identified by a series of numbers. If the new member is part of, for example, the eleventh generation (numbered 700 through 755), their number will start with the number of their ancestor that is listed and will be denoted by a series of numbers, separated by a period (.). So – for my own (unlisted) offspring, they would have a number listed as 744.1, 744.2, etc. If that generation has children that are not listed here, then another number would be added – so the third off-spring of my second child would have a number of 744.2.3. Also, each generation after the first will be listed on the remainder of this document by name; for information on each member listed, simply click on their name to be taken to their page. I will do my best to make sure that every name listed (that is, every name that has information beyond the basics) will have a separate page. As mentioned at the beginning of this document, please contact me for any updates or changes that need to be made. I can be contacted by e-mail at carycartter@gmail.com. The information in the following sections will have the starting point of Grandfather’s book; however, where there is conflicting information or more up-to-date information I will be editing on the fly. I will not be marking any differences between Grandfather’s information and updated information, except to note where or from whom the information came. Thank you, and enjoy the project.
Cary Bruce Cartter, October 24, 2009.

Update – July 3, 2011: I have decided, after doing a lot of online research, to not include the biographical information (dates, etc.) of living members of the families. I feel that this would only invite identity theft, and there is enough of that going on in the world. If you would like to know more about a member of the family, please email me (carycartter@gmail.com) and I will pass your information request on to the person involved, if I have current contact information. If I don’t have current contact information, I will let you know that, and I will try to remember your request should I make contact. By requesting information about a family member, your contact information will be sent to the person involved, to let them make the decision as to whether or not to communicate.

FIRST GENERATION

The quotes which follow in this review have been taken from Howard Williston Carter’s book Carter Genealogy published in 1909. This reference as well as those listed below give a good background on the early New England and the Old England family connections.

Wonder Working Providence by Cap’t Edward Johnson – 1653

History of Woburn by Samuel Sewell 1868

Carter Genealogy 1640-1886 by Mrs. Clara A. Carter and Mrs. Sarah A. Carter.

1. REV. THOMAS CARTER b. 1608 or 1610 d. 9-5-1684 m. Mary Parkhurst ab. 1639, she being the daughter of George Parkhurst Sr. of Watertown and Boston b. 1608 in England d. 3-28-1687 at Woburn, Mass.

Quotes from above named reference: —

“The birthplace and the parentage of the Rev. Thomas Carter, first minister of Woburn, Mass., cannot be stated with certainty, but there is no reasonable doubt that he was a native of Suffolk County, England, and there is ground for the belief that he was the son of James Carter, yeoman, of Hinderclay, Suffolk County, whose will, dated August, 1625, proved Oct. 1, 1625, is on file at Bury St. Edmunds. – – – We find that the Rev. Thomas Carter was matriculated a sizar at St. John’s College, Cambridge Universisty, April 1, 1626, at which university he took the degree of Bachelor of Arts in January 1629/30, and that of Master of Arts in 1633. – – – –

– – – – It is interesting to note that the Rev. Thomas Carter was for several years (1628-1633) a fellow student at Cambridge University with the Rev. John Harvard, the founder of Harvard College, and that both afterward came to America and were settled in neighboring communities. It is certain that a similarity of tastes and inclinations led them to emigrate to New England about the same time, both entering the ministry. Both were made freemen of the Colony of Mass., Thomas being so named at Dedham, his first place of residence March 9, 1636.

– – – From Dedham Thomas moved to Watertown where he ‘exercised’ his spiritual gifts by filling the office of elder in the Watertown church. – – – – In Watertown Thomas Carter was granted a homestall of ten acres and, in 1642, a farm of 92 acres and a lot in the town plot. – – – –

– – – – After much persuasion, Mr. Carter finally yielded a reluctant consent and became the first minister in Woburn, being ordained Nov. 22, 1642. – – – – At his ordination the town presented him with a house, which they built for his use, and also engaged to give him a salary of 80 pounds annually, one-fourth of which was to be in silver, the remainder in various necessaries of life, at current prices. This compensation was increased in 1674 by the grant of twenty cords of wood annually, to be delivered at his door. – – – – During his ministry, which was prolonged more than forty-two years, there appears to have been the greatest harmony between him and the society.”

According to the Commemorative Biographical Record (source), Rev. Thomas was “of England, who, at the age of nineteen, graduated from St. John’s College, Cambridge, England, residing in St. Albans, Hertfordshire. At the age of twenty-five years, on April 2, 1635, he sailed from London in “The Planter,” destined to find a home and greater religious freedom in the New World. He took up his abode in Dedham, Watertown, and Woburn, respectively, and on Nov. 22, 1642, he was ordained pastor of the church in Woburnm with which he continued his pastoral relations until his demise, Sept. 5, 1684. He had married Mary Dalton (Note: this source lists a different last name; since a hard copy of these notes is in Cary’s possession, we will assume this is the correct last name), who died March 28, 1687.”

There is no doubt of Thomas’ relationship to the Carters of Hinderclay as evidenced by a will recorded September 8, 1655 by James Carter of Hinderclay, County Suffolk yeoman as follows: – – “That is to say I give unto the children of my brother Thos. Carter who now is in the New England to every one of them ten pounds a peece as conveyniently as the same may be raysed out of parsonall Estate etc. –”

It is interesting to find that Woburn was originally a grant of land made in 1640 by the General Court of Mass., to Charlestown; and for about two years afterwards was called Charlestown Village. Charlestown is the most ancient town (with the exception of Salem and Dorchester) in the Colony of Mass. as apart from Plymouth. It had commenced in 1629.

A minister became of first importance for until a settlement had a church and a minister it could not become a separate town. – – – In the early days of Woburn, taxes were not paid wholly in money or labor, as now. For instance only a fourth part of the annual salary of their minister was satisfied with coin; the remainder being made up in grain, firewood or other articles of family consumption which were called “country pay.”

The sixth church building has now replaced 5 other Congregational church buildings at Woburn and is located on the edge of the ‘commons’ where Rev. Thomas Carter’s first log church was built. The Woburn church is reported to be the 25th Congregational church established in America.

George Parkhurst, Mary’s father, emigrated from England in about 1635. He brought three children with him including Mary. He first lived in Watertown, Mass. in 1642; was admitted as freeman 1643, and moved to Boston in 1645. Mary was the 8th child in the Parkhurst family.

Rev. Thomas and Mary had eight children as follows: —

Notes and ideas were not saved when Grandpa published the book. So, I have no idea where he was going to go with the “etc.” at the end of Joseph Addison Carter’s bio. Towards the end of the project, it was becoming obvious that Grandpa wanted to be finished with the book and move on to something else – there are more and more obvious mistakes, which I will be fixing as I go, and even entire sections where there is nothing but a name. Again, updates are welcomed and encouraged.
