Notes
(1) We have links back to Robert via Y-DNA testing of one of Orland Carver Sr's grandsons, as well as a number of links via my autosomnal ancestryDNA test.
Y-DNA is supposed to be particularly useful for paternal lines. We are participating in the Carver project at FTDNA, where they have one paternal line that is thoroughly documented back to Robert. Then other Carver males can take Y-DNA tests and compare themselves to this documented line.
For more information on Y-DNA testing, start with this article: Understanding DNA. It's not really easy to understand, and I would not have a clue without the assistance of the Carver project administrator.
(2) Family stories say Orland Carver was born in Janesville in 1869, but the family is in La Valle in 1870.
(3) Records with De Kalb historian say Barton Carver was 70 at death in April 1845, making birth year about 1775. Gravestone says age 72, which would put his birth around 1773. Parents marriage listed in old records as 1774.
(4) Do not have documentation showing that Cyrus belonged to Barton. There is circumstantial evidence. Cyrus was born in De Kalb, St. Lawrence County in 1810, according to his civil war papers, death certificate, and his obituaries. The only known Carver in St. Lawrence County who was old enough to be fathering children in 1810 is Barton. Additionally, Cyrus named one of his sons Barton and another son Oliver. My ancestry DNA tests also shows links to people who are descended from two of Barton's other children as well as from his siblings.
(5) 1800 census shows Barton and wife with one son under age 10.
(6) Assume Cassandana's death is after 1820 and before 1830 based on census records and some property records.
(7) Esther's previous husband, Benjamin Childs, died in 1831.
(8) MAYFLOWER CONNECTION: Elizabeth is a granddaughter of John Alden of the Mayflower.
