Hi all,
Re reference to Connecticut governors - the following link is to a list of Connecticut governors:
http://www.cslib.org/gov/
John Carver, who was on The Mayflower, was the first governor of Massachussets. Born. c. 1576, d. Apr. 5, 1621, He was a wealthy merchant, he helped arrange the Pilgrims' emigration to America in 1620, chartering the Mayflower. He was governor for less than a year before his death.
I believe he had no descendants - there is a Carver and a South Carver in Massachussets named after him:

You are correct that John Carver of Mayflower fame had no direct descendants, but his brother Robert, also on the ship has propagated a large number of descendants who hold great kudos in the link.
That branch of Carvers came from Notts, IIRC

Hi Nick,
That's interesting about Robert. I only knew of John. The link below refers to the relationship between John and Robert. Looks like they're touting for business!
Cheers,
Neil.

In what I have read, the fact that John and Robert were brothers seems to have been taken as gospel by the authors, possibly because as Robert's descendants,. they would prefer the link to John Carver to be real rather than unproven.
I like to think that I belong to a parallel branch of the family that had the sense to stay in England. I guess I'll never prove it, but it certainly winds up the American Carvers, who think they are some sort of royalty

Hi Nick,
Having descended from a bunch of dissenters and being a republican myself, I feel obliged to say the American (Mayflower) Carvers are rightly not royalty - they're actually more important than that. When it comes to royalty I've always felt the Russians had the right idea about them(!)
Budem zdorovy!
Neil.

Has anyone come across PEACE Carver son of Henry alias my Benjamin (of Parramatta), presumably born prior to Ben's transportation in 1792. he was recorded as a bachelor at the time of his marriage here in 1792, but was alway the mystery man so could have either been actually married in UK or a widower  ?
It seems that Mr Fisher gad access to such a lot of accurate info for his f/tree research why would he have added Peace if no carver family member had never heard reference to him
Just another of the Carver mysteries, but Peace seems such a great name to find.
thanks
beverley

Sandy,
I see you have a Hall listed in the names at the bottom of your reply. I'm interested to know who that is.
I have a great uncle who moved to Shoreditch from Winterton Linclonshire
