Martha Cartwright born 1775 whitegate chesire. Married William Stretch. I am researching this family but don’t know much. It looks like some family later went to America but I can’t find any info when or if it is the right family connection. Any help appreciated as I am in Australia and can’t go to chesire to research. Thanks Karen

Thank you much appreciated. I will post the America connection later when I find the information to see if it connects to this family

Info I have is William Stretch born 1767 Chale Hampshire married Martha Cartwright I assume this is the William Stretch she married if it is correct then the following info is a puzzle of how he ended up in America
on his record death 1836 Jefferson Ross Ohio United States
thanks Karen

I have been following a dna tree matched to my husband and it suggests the following info
Martha Cartwright
John Stretch 1797
Janet Stretch 1838
James Alexander Dick 1864
Agnes May Dick 1892
The last few generations are in America
thanks Karen

By 'following' a tree do you mean you have actually researched it?

America is vast - where in America were those people born?

How did you leap from Stretch to Dick - is there supposed to be a marriage?

If this is relevant, note that she died in CANADA

Thanks again The only thing I know for sure is Martha Cartwright Married William Stretch I haven't researched this family other than looking at someones tree to see if he is the same William Stretch that died in Ohio in 1836 I was wondering if he followed one of his children to America Or if they have the wrong information on the tree I agree I don't think I can link them with a degree of certainty
thanks Karen
