Myra Your web site is impressive, I am still trying to find out how to use it. No I don't have a web site. Our gg-grandfathers were brothers. David Witherspoon Carleton was an older brother to your gg-grandfather William Carlton. I have discovered the "e" doesn't make much difference. I use the Family Tree Maker program and have nearly 1,800 of his descendants on it. I attached your ancestors last time so I will attach mine this time so you may see how I got here. Concerning our first generation grandfather, John Carlton, I have seen several use the 1725 birth date, but there is another John Carlton with a different wife and different descendants born in 1725, which I find confusing. We have always used the 1720 date.
