to me
I checked the other day and didn?t see a Webb family DNA group. Hopefully there will be soon.
One reason I got my son to do the DNA was because of the Carters. I am fascinated with the origins of Hannah ? Crews, that married Giles. It is true that if James Crews? partner had been white they would have been hauled into bastardy court when his partner became pregnant. The older family stories assume that she had to have been Native American because James Crews owned slaves so she could not have been black. So silly! Even free blacks sometimes owned slaves. His partner could have been a slave. I tried to trace Hannah?s daughters forward so we could find Hannah?s Mt-DNA, but lost them after about 2 generations.
So, David?s DNA came back from Ancestry and the other type I sent to FTM-DNA (not the Y-DNA test) and he has absolutely no Native American but a small amount of ?North African? ? Whatever that means. The Simmons Y-DNA administrator tells me that not enough people have tested yet for those small percentages to be accurate, but someday it may mean something. Right now it seems that either James Crews was not Hannah?s father or her mother was some sort of Arab or Moor. Below is what I have on Giles and his son Theodoric.
· Apr 1653 Mr Wm Fry used Giles Carter and 14 others as headrights to patent 750 acres of land on the "Chichamony" River- Cavaliers & Pioneers, Vol I, Nugent, p276
· 1676 Will of John Rowen gives Giles the use of a house for 1 year and certain livestock including a cow and pigs.- Weisiger, Colonial Wills of Henrico Co, VA 1677-1737, p 219
· Will of James Crewes of Turkey Island written 23 Jul 1676 makes bequests to Giles Carter, his wife Hannah and all their children. Crewes was about to be hanged for his part in Bacon's Rebellion. Crews' English relatives contested the will saying, " James Crewes had no 'lawful' wife or child." It is surmised that Hannah was Crews daughter by either an Indian woman or a Negro. (family DNA has zero Native American ethnicity but 1% North African) Had Hannah's mother been white, Crews and she would have been hauled into court for bastardy but those laws didn't apply if the woman was of a different race.- Some Southern Col Fam, Avant, p 154 June.

Nancy,
My mother was a Carter descendant, so my dna [family finder] matched to Lemuel/Richard 'tailor' Carter. I did not pursue the other tests, as it would go to female lines. I do not show any Native American, all British; however another cousin had 23 & me, and hers did show a smidgen of Native American. It is my understanding that after so many generations, it would not show. DNA is not my strong suit, but we absolutely see two different dna groups for the descendants of the two sons of Giles Carter. Theodorick is one group, and Giles Jr. descendants test to another group. There are only a couple of reasons this would happen. My group is to Theodorick's dna.
I do not have a theory about Hannah Crews; I have collected theories by genealogists much more talented than I am, and it makes sense that she may have been an Indian. But, I believe it is clear Giles had more than one wife and possibly other children not mentioned in his will. DNA studies make this an exciting time for genealogists.
Thank you for your Carter info. I thought I had pulled every piece of paper available for them, but I had not seen these references -
1 Feb 1685 was appointed by the court at Varina to appraise the estate of John Clyburn- ibid

That makes him seem human! With your permission I will post your info.

It looks like very little is known about Theodor. "Theodor Carter married a woman named Joane sometime before October 1633 (a child named Mary, daughter of Theodor Carter was baptised at Cirencester in October 1633 and was not named as a base child).
Given that he married before 1633, it is likely that Theodor was born before 1613.
Theodor Carter was buried at the church of St John the Baptist, Cirencester, Gloucestershire on 23 July 1643"
Another theory for the father of Giles is Theodor CARTER who, according to the IGI for parish records of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, England, had a son Giles born in 1634 and christened 24 April 1635. That birth date coincides with Giles's 1680 deposition, in which he declares himself to be 46 years old. Also, Giles CARTER named his first son Theodrick.The children attributed in the IGI to Theodor are Mary, Giles, Joane, Elizabeth, and Margery.
