Carver Mayflower Ancestors: William Mullins Family and John Alden
This is what I believe is my lineage back to John Alden and Priscilla Mullins. If you are one of my Carver cousins, and you don't know how you fit into this tree, contact me and I'll help you figure it out. (carverhistorical@outlook.com or mayflowermaybes@outlook.com.)
This is one of our two most certain ancestors.
1. From Oliver Carver back it is documented in numerous published histories that have been extensively researched.
2. I have proof that Barton is Oliver's son based on Oliver's will and various documents showing them living near each other and working together.
3. I do not have proof that Barton is father to Cyrus, even though he is the only logical person. Hoping proof will magically show up some time. (The power of positive thinking : )
4. We have DNA links to other people who think they are related back up the line. (Either we're all related, or we're all wrong together.) This includes a YDNA link back up the male line to Robert Carver, who arrived in New England by 1638.
I will come back later this evening, fill this out better, add video links, etc. Meanwhile, this line is fairly well documented here, along with more explanations about DNA.
