It very well could be my William Carter. The dates are about right. William did have Hayhurst relatives in Middletown Bucks Co., Pa. I will check it out, and if you have more information I would Appreciate haveing it. The names of the children could tell me more, as the Carters have always carried certain family names. Email if you like. Thank you for your response Tom Carter

I have a William CARTER, Quaker, marr. to Edith Headly ca.1796. She was b. aft. 1761, and I understand was an Adventist. They had eight children, and lived in Middletown, Bucks Co., PA.

My 4th great Grandfather Joseph SUMMERS m Mary JACKSON b abt 1755 in Bucks Co., PA. Her father, William JACKSON m Margaret WILSON. Mary's bro.had a son named Joseph JACKSON m Margaret LYSTER, July 1784. They had a dau. named Mary b.bef. 1788. I have names of the rest of their children and am looking for information about any of the names I have listed. Any information would be appreciated and would be happy to share what I have. Thank you, Virginia

Maybe there is a connection. My greatgrandfather, William Carter Vandegrift, born April 1866/6, bucks. Pa. He was the 7th son of a 7th son (told its an old Pa good luck in life expression) of Edward Vandegrift and Sarah Carter (born respectively 18332 &1831)Bucks, Pa. Sarah Carter, on her marriage to Edward Vandegrift, gives David Carter and Mary as her parents names. Sarah born in Middletown, Bucks, Pa.
My grandmother, (dec.)that there was a Quaker connection on her fathers side. I am trying to find a church to place my gggrandparents in-so I can continue research that I just got curious again-with the internet and all. I can get back to the 1500's, properly documented on my Dad's side- would love to get somewhere on my Mom's Pa. side. Anyway, perhaps some of your research might assist me and any information would be appreciated. I figure perhaps William Carter, was given that name being named for someone in the line...
Thanks, Dean Reinauer

My gggrandfather, Edward S. Vandegrift married Sarah Carter, December 1853 in Middletown, Bucks Pa. More than one child born in Middletown

your posting interests me. Specifically at this time- David.
Okay, I have a gggrandmother, Sarah whom was married in Dec 1853, Middletown, Bucks, Pa to Edward Vandegrift. In a record I perused on an IGI record, indicates her parents names were David Carter and Mary. I came across a Sarah Carter, residing in in the home of Jacob & Malvina Van Horn, Middletown Twp, Bucks in the 1850 census. Now, my ggggrandparents, Jonathan Vandegrift and Martha, had younger children within a halfpage of that find. My gggrandfather, Edward, was one of many children of Jonathan and Martha- but is not included in this 1850 household. Wondering what if any the connection may be between Sarah Carter (maybe dau. of David H born 1797 and Mary Ann Van Horn? Seeing if they fit into my line, Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Dean, I can't help much regarding the VanHorn connection, but your Sarah was the dau of David Carter b.1797 by Mary Ann VanHorn. Sarah's siblings were
William V. b.22 Sep 1822
Elizabeth b.28 Jul 1823 marr. John Hamilton
James b.14 Nov 1825 marr. 1)Rachel Tomlinson 2)Elizabeth Staats
Rachel b.19 Nov 1826 marr. William Praul
Alice L. b.4 Jan 1829 marr. Jonathan Henry
Mary Ann b.14 Feb 1830 marr. 1)Roger Wolcott 2)Charles Bancroft
Edward H. b.16 Aug 1832 d.1893
Catharine b.9 Jan 1834
Margaret R. b.5 Nov 1835 marr. Amos Martin
Rebecca J. b.26 Nov 1837 marr. Mr. Simpson
Martha M. b.14 Mar 1839 marr. John Brelsford
David A. b.11 Oct 1840 marr. Miss Buck
Lydia Ann b.29 Jun 1842 marr. Richard Hammond

Sarah's father David was alive in 1848, having been widowed, and remarried to Lydia ____ in 1843/1844. He continued to live in Middletown, Bucks Co., PA, and had three more children by Lydia:
Isaac b.16 Mar 1845
Ann Eliza b.12 Oct 1846 marr. Jacob Goodnoe
Louisa J. b.6 Jun 1849

Hi Bill. Thanks for your message. Since I perused the census
of 1850 to find Sarah Carter, and saw an IGI record stating she
was the daughter of David Carter and Mary, as you provide Mary Van Horn. What church did you find the record at?
I know that the Carter line had some Quaker roots;really trying
to see if David and Mary raised their children Quaker or other,
and if Sarah in turn might have married Edward Vandegrift-
wondering where the Quaker aspect broke off vs my grandmother being raised Presbyterian. I am really into broad based genealogy as you might be able to guess. any assistance is appreciated. THANKS

Dean, the data is from a Palmer family genealogy, not from church records.
I can tell you that Sarah Carter & Edward Vandegrift were not married in a church, they wed at the residence of William Praul, who was the husband of Rachel Carter (Sarah's sister).
The Prauls lived in/near Hulmeville, Bucks County.
Whether or not it was a Friends' ceremony, I cannot say.

I have five children for Sarah/Edward; Amos, Alonzo, John, Albert, William, & Annie. Do you know spouses, children for them?

Bill, thank you, thank you, thank you! Sarah and Edward had
eight children. My "file" is sitting in at home, while I type this from my office in the middle of a snowstorm. Anyway, yes
I do have some names, and do have a few names of spouses/
of the children. I promise to forward that off to you--hopefully by next week. Any chance there was parents or witness for Edward,? Looking to confirm wether or not his parents were
Jonathan V and Martha- which I saw in an IGI record. i am descended from William Carter, born 1866/7. He married twice, and I am descended from his second wife-Do have data on the first wife. Dean

I'll be looking forward to your data.

re the marriage, I don't have any details other than what I gave in the previous message

I know Sarah was married 1853, and I have she was born
1831. I was wondering if you might actually have a birthdate and month for Sarah Carter, daughter of David Carter and Mary Van Horn

The date I have is 2 May 1831

Bill,
I will send you the information off this list. I had an incredibly
busy winter, and then made great gains in a few other branches, and promised you some information.
Dean

are you still at this email address? I will send you an update,
if you haven't received the information prior to my tardy response!

The address is still good

I believe that James Carter b 1825 married Mary E Slater. I have a sheet from a ledger that the family wrote that has his birth and death dates, along with his wife, Mary and their children.
