From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nantucket Island's original Native American inhabitants, the Wampanoag people, lived undisturbed until 1641 when the island was deeded by the English (the authorities in control of all land from the coast of Maine to New York) to Thomas Mayhew and his son, merchants from Watertown, Mass and Martha's Vineyard. Nantucket's settlement by the English did not begin in earnest until 1659, when Thomas Mayhew sold his interest to a group of investors, led by Tristram Coffin, "for the sum of thirty Pounds...and also two beaver hats, one for myself, and one for my wife". The "nine original purchasers" were Tristram Coffin, Peter Coffin, Thomas Macy, Christopher Hussey, Richard Swain, Thomas Barnard, Stephen Greenleafe, John Swain and William Pike. Seamen and tradesmen began to populate Nantucket, such as Richard Gardner (arrived 1667) and Capt. John Gardner (arrived 1672), sons of Thomas Gardner (planter). Nantucket Island

1.      Can’t find when William George Carter (her father) originally came to America. Missing from 1871 Census. Don’t have and can’t find1871 or 1881 Canadian Censuses. Can’t find Jane in 1881.

2.      Can’t determine why Otterville, Ontario for William & Jane Carter (her parents).  Otterville was Quakers area for free African-Americans, escaped slaves.

3.      Can’t figure out how or why Elizabeth Lavinia came to own a farm in Jefferson, Maine. Have checked aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews AND MORE for Carter, Stones, Leadbeaters AND MORE and have no one in Maine area.  The closest is the sister in Waltham, Mass.  Haven’t found historical information on Lincoln county/Jefferson ME showing significant event which would bring anyone there over somewhere else.
