Charley -
Capt. Henry, son of William the Immigrant and probably a cousin of William of the Confidence -- dates for this second William show convincingly that he is NOT the son of the Immigrant, although they all came from Ashmore, Devon, England.
Capt. Henry's second marriage - to Elizabeth Ward, widow of John Howe, Jr -- is known to have produced 2 daughters and is considered by Henry Nourse in the History of Marlborough to also have borne at least 2 sons.
I am descended of a Mariner William Carley of Marlborough, b. @ 1680 and who is known to have married Mary Bowden, daughter of John and Grace Bully Bowden - John being the son of Capt. Ambrose Bowden of Scarborough/Saco, York Maine --- William and Mary were married in Boston in 1703 by Cotton Mather and this William was a member of the crew of the Province Galley, which was the first ship built in New England for the defense of the Mass Bay Colony. He later sailed many other ships and on one voyage, transported a John Carter back to America from London - 1722. The children of William and Mary included a son William, baptized in 1718 who we - the researchers - believe to be the William who married Martha Patty (Patsy) Carter. This William was given a land grant in VA in the
1740 for services to the Crown. William the Mariner, died in 1739, possibly at sea.
I am currently trying to find the connection between the John Carter transported out of London in 1722 to the Rev. Samuel Carter who purchased the Lancaster property of William the Immigrant from Capt. Henry in 1688, or to the "Secretary" John Carter, son of Thomas, who was active in the government of VA in the early to mid 1700's.
If you can provide any insight into the Carter family, we would be very grateful.
