The Carter line of former US President Jimmy Carter is reported to be from Kindred Carter so naturally a lot of people want to claim to be kin to this Carter line.It seems everyone wants to be kin to the rich or famous.

"Kindred Carter (c. 1750-1800) came to Georgia from the Bertie-Edgecombe-Hertford area of northeastern North Carolina where his family had lived for several generations. He was of the 5th generation in descent from Thomas Carter, Sr. who came in 1637 from England to Isle of Wight County, Virginia. Thomas Carter's only known child was Thomas, Jr., who married Magdalene Moore and left a will in 1710. In that will, Thomas, Jr. did not name all of his children, but Moore Carter (c. 1680-1741) who married Jane and moved to Bertie County, North Carolina, is believed to have been his son. Moore left a will naming a son Isaac who married Ruth and died after 1790. Isaac and Ruth were the parents of Kindred and James, among others. Kindred and James both came to Georgia."
The father of Thomas Carter of Isle of Wight County, Virginia is not known so right now you can delete "John William Carter (m. Bridget Benion) (1574-1630)" from your Carter tree and delete all generations before them.
The Y-DNA of Thomas Carter of Isle of Wight County, Virginia is Y-DNA Haplogroup "R1b" Group 4 in the Family Tree DNA Carter Surname Project.

If your Carter family is not a Y-DNA match with the above then you will need to do more trimming of your tree.
