Looking at Thrulines

 

AncestryDNA Thrulines from Anne Carter via my Mom.

Before diving into the Carter family research from yesterday's post, above is a snapshot from the AncestryDNA Thrulines I administer for my Mom, descending from Anne Carter (appearing as 5th-great-grandmother for her). This shows DNA connections from several of Anne's known children.

My research on the children of William Heslop and Anne Carter needs some attention. I also have yet to locate a will for William and Anne, although I have some references to them in Spotsylvania County land records.

So far, I have the following children (not confirmed):

- Ann Graham Heslop (my 5th-great-grandmother)

- Elizabeth Kenyon Heslop, 1782-

- Sarah Kenyon Heslop, 1783-1857

- Martha Carter Heslop

- Horace Heslop

- William Heslop (Jr), 1787-1846

- James Heslop

- Lucy Heslop

- Robert Heslop

- John Heslop

There are extensive files in the Virginia chancery records on Sarah Kenyon Heslop and the children of Horace Heslop. She died without issue and provided for Horace's children in her will. There's more to this story and I will cover it in a separate post.
