Luke R Cartrett and Celia/Circle Jolly/Dolly

While preparing this set of articles on Luke and Celia Cartrett, new information came to my attention. This new information helps to illustrate some of the genealogical problems I discussed in the just completed series, while casting doubt on the lineage from Luke to Kathleen Rogers.

Follow along as I discuss this family, and how the new information casts doubt on our ties to Luke.

It is clear that Luke R. Cartrett married Celia Jolley. It is also fairly certain that Luke's wife, Celia, was a Great Grandmother of Kathleen Rogers. What about Luke?

Here is the lineage we're looking at:

• (Luke R. Cartrett and )Celia Jolley
  
  • Martha Jane Cartrett and William L Wheeler
    
    • Blanche May (Mazie) Wheeler and Lloyd Franklin Rogers
      
      • Kathleen May Rogers

Luke R Cartrett was born in about 1831, in Columbus, North Carolina. His future wife, Celia, was born in June of 1834, in either North or South Carolina.

Next time, I will discuss what the 1860 Census record reveals. After that, we'll look at, Luke's civil war service, and one of the puzzles associated with Luke.
