KESKUSTELU

U.S. President Jimmy Carter is descended from Mary Margaret Fortenberry (or Falkenborough) who married George Helms and lived in North Carolina in the mid 1700s. Mary Fortenberry was likely a daughter or granddaughter of Henry Falkenberg, oldest son of Hendrick Jacobs Falkenberg.

Many of New Sweden's families scattered quite early thoughout the
American frontier. Some began the westward trek by skirting the head of
the Chesapeake Bay. Others moved from the upper Schuylkill PA,
settlements into the Great Valley of Virginia, reaching the Shenandoah
Valley shortly after 1730. Later they crossed through the Cumberland Gap
into Kentucky and middle Tennessee. Others remained east of the
Appalachian Mountains. A certain Swan Swanson reached eastern North
Carolina by 1714.
