Are you a Descendant of The Mayflower?
My research has led me to some interesting places.I came upon an article wrote by a group but who wrote it wasn't listed.General Society of Mayflower Descendants.This is a website to assist those looking to see if there is a connection in there own family tree.So me being curious I found the Carter name.A Robert Carter.To refresh your memory my Grandmother Lula Ray Burrell -find a grave Her mother was Rachel Suetta Carter Ray 1875-Find a grave-This General society of Mayflower Descendants was started in 1897.The only thing I could find on Robert Carter was a plantation called Oatlands in Leesburg Virginia.This plantation was built in 1789.By a young bachelor George Carter.This George Carter was a descendant of Virginia s first families.Then I went on to find a plantation in Virginia called The Shirley plantation.This was located in Charles city Virginia(between Richmond and Virginia.)This plantation was built on1613.The oldest plantation in Virginia.The home had been operated and lived in for 11 generation s of the same family.General Robert E.Lee's mother Ann Hill Carter was born and raised here.Lee spent much of his childhood on the estate.Now I don't know if there is any connection to this George Carter to my Robert Carter since dates were not given.I would appreciate any help.Thank you .The Mayflower has always fascinated me.To anyone interested I did write down the names who are connected to the Mayflower I will try to list them soon.
