  • Notes: 

  • Many genealogists believe Capt. Thomas Carter was the son of his uncle Maj. Thomas Carter. Jeff Carter, son of President Carter, makes the argument in his book (Ancestors of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, 2012, p. 10) that this is false and that Capt. Thomas Carter was really the nephew of Maj. Thomas Carter and son of William Carter, Maj. Thomas's brother.
