Robert Kay (ca. 1725-1808), a son of James Kay and Mary Steward, was born in Virginia. Information on his marriage or marriages is uncertain: his widow's name was Priscilla, and he may have been first married to Elizabeth Strother, who died childless.

Ancestors of Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter


Book Description

During his presidency, Jimmy Carter received a comprehensive analysis of his family's genealogy, dating back 12 generations, from leaders of the Mormon Church. More recently Carter's son Jeff took over the family history, determined to discover all that he could about his ancestors. This resulting volume traces every ancestral line of both Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter back to the original immigrants to America and chronicles their origins, occupations, and life dates. Among his forebears Carter found cabinet makers, farmers, preachers, illegitimate children, slave owners, indentured servants, a former Hessian soldier who fought against Napoleon, and even a spy for General George Washington at Valley Forge. With never-before-published historic photographs and a foreword by President Jimmy Carter, this is the definitive saga of a remarkable American family.
