Research Notes

There are many "John Carvers" in this family line and the documented ones are as follows (numbers following name are mostly my attempts to keep them straight):

  1. John Carver Sr - (1657-1714) - married Mary Lane in England
  2. John Carver Jr - (1687-1769) - married Isabelle Weldon
  3. John Carver III - (1717-1791) - married Rachel Naylor
  4. John Carver IV - (1747-1817) - married Mary Buckman
  5. John Carver V - (1776-1849) - married Elizabeth Briggs
  6. John Carver VI - (abt 1821-1887) - married Phebe Ann (Hibbs) Tomlinson

Caution: The father of Christopher Carver of Lancaster County is often said to be John Carver (1687-1769) of Philadelphia with his wife Isabelle (Weldon) Carver. However, Christopher does not appear in the records of the Abington Monthly Meeting with their family, and John & Isabelle do not have any known connections to Lancaster County. See Christopher's profile for more information.

Have not found any sources or records of any type for a Christopher Carver other than one tax item in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Thinking he is attached to the wrong parents.

I agree that Christopher Carver was not the son of John & Isabelle
posted by Andrea Powell
Carver-2243 and Carver-622 appear to represent the same person because: Seems like most of the important details are similar but the PMs need to determine if they are, indeed, the same person.
posted by Jim Stradling
Carver-2243 and Carver-622 do not represent the same person because: Carver-2243 represents the father of Christopher Carver of Lancaster County.

Carver-622 was from Byberry and married Isabelle Weldon

posted by Andrea Powell
Carver-1461 and Carver-622 appear to represent the same person because: Quaker records have this Johns dob 21d 11m 1687.

Original gedcom import quote: "Imported only 21 Feb 1685 from Birth Date and marked as uncertain."

I believe 1687 is the correct year
