The surname De Carteret has been recorded in British history since circ 999.
The 29th of August 1999, The De Carteret Families from various parts of the world. USA, England, France, Jersey, Guernsey, Sark were invited to join the Millennium celebrations of Carteret village in Normandy.
Since that inaugural gathering, we have had a Reunion of our De Carteret Family members and friends biannually.
I am a descendant of the Huguenot Daniel Perrin who came to New Jersey on the “Phillip” which landed here in 1665 and which was commanded by Philip Carteret. The Perrin family is supposed to have long been connected with the Carterets by blood or marriage on the Isle of Jersey. I have the compilation by Howland Delano Perrine in 1910 which explains some of this connection but would be interested in any new research. Thank you for your attention.
I am related ? through marriages of the past…

I was so interested to receive your site from a gent on line while I was looking for Vibert and came across Jean- Pierre Vibert the rosarian. I was looking into our family history when a recent obituary sparked my interest. It was a LeVesconte who would have been I believe a 4th cousin or the like of my father. I stumbled in my history on the maternal names Vibert and LeFeuvre which no one seems to have researched on this end.
I have only a few days ago found a part of my family history linking me to the name Vibert of ?.
My father was Isaac Lorne MacDougall born Feb 12, 1922 in Inverness Cape Breton Nova Scotia to Bertram Camillus LeVesconte MacDougall of Inverness and Helen Jean McKenzie of Canso, Guysborough Co. They lived in Inverness and later moved to the home of John Lorne(see below) in Strathlorne.
My grandfathers father was John Lorne MacDougall, Barrister and his mother was Caroline Louisa Alberta LeVesconte of Arichat. They lived in Strathlorne, Inverness County, Cape BBreton, Nova Scotia, Canada.
Her father Isaac worked with his father’s shipping firm DeCarteret and LeVesconte’s in between Arichat and Channel Island sites. (photo on internet)
My great-great grandmother’s maiden name was Caroline Susan Jean(died 1876), daughter of John Jean and Louisa Moore(Arichat). Isaac LeVesconte my great great grandfather was a member of the Canadian Parliament as financial secretary in the James W Johnton- Charles Tupper administration and he was Spanish Consular agent in Arichat. He was the son of …
Jeanne Malzard ( her mother was Jeanne Vibert, born Jan 30, 1765, died Feb 18, 1821 and father Isaac Malzard), who married Peter LeVeconte of St. Helier who was the son of Pierre LeVesconte and Jeanne LeFeuvre, b.1762. Peter LeVesconte, 35 Broad St., St. Helier.
***I do know that Isaac had a sister Elizabeth Jane b. Oct 27, 1824 died about 1880 whose husband Peter DeCarteret(1786-1875) son of Jean DeCarteret and Rebecca Rauland of New Rochelle France assisted with the Jersey side of the business died in 1875 in Switzerland. She was baptized at St. Brelode. The DeCarteret’s lived in Jersey, Arichat, Paris, and Bex Vaud in Switzerland. They had a son Peter John DeCarteret born 1850 married Emma Henrietta Cave (daughter of Baronet Cave of Hartley-Wintney)Surrey England. Baronet Cave was Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Lloyd George Government. They lived in Jersey, Switzerland and later at Hanom Court, Surrey near Bristol. (photo on internet) They had 3 children Elizabeth Lilian, b. June 1873 married. Reported to have died in childbirth. ? child of Elizabeth and Isaac had a sister Livy LeVesconte who married a Rev. A. Roger and lived in Switzerland. They had a son in May of 1859 but there is no further info on the Roger family known to me.r husband name. Another son Harold Richard born April 1875 killed in an accident while on leave from WW1. Then Muriel boron in 1876. ?died young. No other info on this family.***

I can’t help you, but I am interested by Philip Carteret.
Looking for a portrait of this famous sailor.
I am writing a book about great men of this time, their stories on the oceans, and the text must get drawings from their busts.
Perhaps you have a photo of old painting showing your ancestor, and perhaps you will have time and friendship to send it to me. Great thanks
In April 1665 Philip Carteret, son of George left Jersey in the Channel Islands arriving in New York Harbour on 29th July 1665. Daniel Perrin was his administrator and was born in France in 1640, died New Jersey 6th Spetember 1719. He was of genteel birth, of Norman descent and a Hugenot. He travelled with Maria Thorel born 1640, of french descent. They were granted a marriage license by Gov.Philip Carteret and married on the 12th February 1666. They are both in the painting by Howard Pyle which is in the circuit Court in Newark, New Jersey.
My Grandfather was Alfred George de Carteret married to Florence May de Carteret
nee Robert who was b.approx 1882 and d.1968 Death certificate shows her a widow.
If anyone has any information regarding the de carterets of Jersey, where I was born,
or Carteret (France), where i understand the family came from, about the time of the
French revolution, I would be very grateful.
Thank you

Hi, I’ve been tracing my family history and I came upon this website: “http://melungeons.com/articles/mariettahistory.htm”; Which seems to link Honfroi de Carteret with the Carters of Virginia. The earliest ancestor I can find, however, was named LeCaretier: “http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/21991816/family?cfpid=20006502938″ and was born 100 or so years after Honfroi. If anyone has any information that can link these two or not would be great. Thank you.
I am descended from Phillipe de Carteret (1612) and Mary de la Place and their daughter Elizabeth (1647) who married Benjamin Dumaresq.
Further to your reference to Melungeons it would not surprise me if they were part of the North African crews of either Carthagians or Phoenicians.
The Bourne Stone. found at Cape Cod has the name “Hano” carved in it, along with a claim to the land. Hano was a Carthaginian Admiral abt 425BC.
The Phoenician explorers were also excellent navigators and sometime after 600AD possibly came to North American along with their mixed crews from North Africa seeking trade. There is other stone inscription evidence of them penetrating into the centre of the continent along the Mississippi and its western tributaries. I believe that Melungeons have been in North America much longer than most people accept. See Gloria Farley’s books or those of Barry Fell if you are interested in this further.
Hello
My father and grandfather both told me that our family came from the Carterets of New Jersey and I have traced them back to the De Carterets of Normandy.

It has been passed thru our family that my 7xgrandfather Edward Taylor born 1650 in Yorkshire, Eng died 1710 in New Jersey was married to Catherine De Carteret born 1652 in Monmouth Co, New Jersey, daughter of Philippe De Carteret. I have recently started researching my family history, and am wondering if anyone can help me find a connection between Phillipe and Catherine De Carteret. I have also found a James De Carteret in New Jersey at this time, and cannot connect him either. Any help would be appreciated. Larry
