Our Cartright-Cartwright family was according to the late South Carolina genealogist, Leonardo Andrea, a French Huguenot family named "Carteret" and found on records with various spellings of Cartrite, Cartright, and Cartwright. (Leonardo Andrea Collection, Folder #153, microfilmed by Genealogical Society of LDS; FHL #954532).
According to a tradition in the Andrea Collection: "The Huguenots were never Catholics (Roman) hence could never be heretics to that faith as was charged: That at a remote period certain people were converted from the teachings of Judaism and were the ancestors not only of the Huguenots but of other tribes and peoples, who, in different countries, in the midst of Catholic peoples, kept alive those beliefs which alternately culminated in Protestantism.
At a time previous to the Passage of the Edit of Nantes [1598], for conscience sake many good people of France fled from their native land and settled in other countries."
The later revocation of the Edict of Nantes in October 1685, drove an exodus of Protestants from France. A substantial portion settled in the British Isles and from thence they came to America.
According to the 1850 census, John Cartright was born 1790 in South Carolina. The names of his parents are unknown but they settled in Tennessee where John married Susanna Ragan [Ragain, Ragains] (Davidson Co., Tennessee marriage Book 1, page 132: License or Bond issued on Sept. 22, 1813, TN State Library microfilm; Marriage announcement in the 'Western Weekly Review,' Williamson Co., Tennessee).
