Re: Cearley - Carter Children
I have been doing research on the Cearley family as well. I have tracked the line back to the 1600's but ran into a wall from England to the US. Looking for the parents of Bartholomew Cearley. Would be nice if you have any information.
I believe the following information will help you.
Search under William Sr Cearley 1717-1796 Wilkes, NC.
Wife was Martha Patsey Carter Cearley 1719-1810
Good Luck Blaine Cearley - Washington State lineage

Re: Cearley - Carter Children
From what I have gathered from several years of looking at this problem, it seems most probable that Bartholomew was the son of the William of the Confidence, b. 1621 - m Anna King, and was a nephew of three generations back from William the Immigrant, b 1602 - m Ann White - parents of Capt. Henry b. 1632 and William, Jr b. 1633. The Will of William the Immigrant - 1670 - named the William of the Confidence as his eldest son William, thus drawing a differential between all the Williams in MA at the time of his death. By that time, the true William, Jr had married Jane Unknown and removed to the Lexington area, and was thus never mentioned in the Will. This William, Jr was buried at Lexington in 1719 along with his wife Jane in 1721 and a daughter Elizabeth who died whithin a few weeks of her father, and their information is on their headstones showing years of birth. This William and Jane were the parents of 7 daughters who married and remained in the Lexington area.

Re: Cearley - Carter Children
Thank you so much for the information, you have done tons of work on this.
My next challenge will be tracking the lineage in Eurpoe. Have you found ny sources in England, etc. which you could guide me to for research? If so, and you are willing to pass them on, it would be so helpful.
Best Regards, Blaine S. Cearley - Washington State Clan
