Background

Project Surnames:

Carew	Carow	Carron	Carrow

Project Background:

Those of the surname Carrow and Carew have traced their ancestors migration into Coastal regions of Colonial America between 1643 and 1678. They were coastal dwellers & seafarers and both the southern family(NC) and the more northern (DE,MD,VA) have strong ties to Baltimore and the Chesapeake Bay.

Were they the same family and what is their ethnicity if it is a common one? Results show that the Carrow family members who have tested in NC and DE match exactly at 37 markers.
One Caroon family and one Carawan family seem related with a GD of3.

The MD&DE line has some link to Ireland as James Carew sailed from Waterford on the St.George of London in 1678 and Henry Carew was a Catholic priest educated there and sent to MD by 1672.The MD/DE 17th century Carew/Carow men held similar public offices.

The migration time suggests a link with English Civil War strife in Ireland.

We are working now to prove the relationship lines and to establish the true migration history of this family(or these families).

Project Goals:

The North Carolina Carrow family and the Delaware family are a perfect 3737 marker match with one person tested from each line!

To establish the ethnicity of the Carrow/Carew/Caroon early American settlers.
To find relationships if they exist between the groups who settled in Coastal NC, Coastal VA/MD&DE and others who settled in New England and the Caribean.

Most important is to establish links to European origins.

Project News:

News Flash!
Carrows who have tested from North Carolina and Delaware are conclusively the same family!!

Project Results:

Males testing R1b1 and close to the WAMH is what we are now seeing.They weakly match each other and strongly match what seems to be their primary Clan affiliation of McDonald.
Carrow men from NC and DE match exactly to each other.
One Caroon and one Carawan family match one another with a GD of 3.
Bryan Carrough was Chieftan of a Sept of Clan Donald as was a John Carragh..both men from Ireland but different areas.

We find Caroon,Carrow,Carroun and Carawan who are all of this haplotype.All ancestors are in this hemisphere by mid to late 1600s in North Carolina,Accomack VA and Southhampton Bermuda.
