Helen Carter is a ninth generation descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, passengers on the Mayflower, a ninth generation descendant of Richard Warren, a passenger on the Mayflower, through the "Stoddard" line and a ninth generation descendant of Richard Warren through the "Churchill" line.
The line of descent from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins, Mayflower passengers, to Helen Carter is as follows:
HELEN CARTER,
daughter of
George Tilton Carter (a descendant of Richard Warren through the "Churchill" line) and ELIZABETH "LIZZIE" BERTHA MATTHEWS,
daughter of
John V. Matthews and ABIGAIL "ABBY" RICHARDS STODDARD,
daughter of
Stephen Stoddard (son of Jane Gardner and Nathaniel Stoddard) and MARY RICHARDS JOHNSON,
daughter of
Edwin (or Edward or Edmund) Johnson and MARY RICHARDS JONES,
daughter of
Samuel Jones and MARY RICHARDS,
daughter of
Benjamin Richards and ABIGAIL THAYER,
daughter of
Ephraim Thayer and SARAH BASS,
daughter of
John Bass and RUTH ALDEN,
daughter of
JOHN ALDEN and PRISCILLA MULLINSs, Mayflower passengers.
The line of descent from Richard Warren, Mayflower passenger, to Helen Carter is as follows:
ABIGAIL "ABBY" RICHARDS STODDARD,
daughter of
Mary Richards Johnson and STEPHEN STODDARD,
son of
Jane Gardner and NATHANIEL STODDARD,
son of
Nathaniel Stoddar and ELIZABETH SPRAGUE,
daughter of
Priscilla Knight and JEREMIAH SPRAGUE,
son of
Anthony Sprague and ELIZABETH BARTLETT,
daughter of
Robert Bartlett and MARY WARREN,
daughter of
RICHARD WARREN, Mayflower passenger.
The following was recorded by Charles Carter Morgan, son of Allen Hungerford Morgan and grandson of Helen carter.
Helen Carter moved to Canton, Ohio as a young woman for reasons unknown to me. While there, she opened a tea shop, the Delft Tea Shop. Charles Thompson Morgan, a pianist in vaudeville, dropped by for tea one day and kept returning.
They were married and moved to the home in which I grew up. They called it "Windyhill" and it was located at 114 Cochituate Road. My presence here today is a testament to their developing a long term relationship that ended with his death.
During World War II, she was the founder and editor in chief of the Village Bugle, a newsletter that she published for the men in the war in order to keep them informed of goings-on in Wayland during their absence. Copies of the Bugle can be seen at the Wayland Historical Society.
She was known fondly by her grandchildren as "gummy" because she always was giving them gum (contrary to the astonishment of neighbors unfamiliar with the nickname who thought, at first, that it was a reference to her having no teeth, an impression that had no basis in fact). She did have all of her teeth until the day she died, but she was hard of hearing.
In all the years that I knew her growing up, she had a hearing aid. It was a fairly large ear piece that was connected to a wire that went to a large battery pack that she would carry in her bra. There was plenty of room for it in the bra since, as a survivor of breast cancer, she had had a mastectomy (as well as her lymph nodes in her arms removed) at a relatively early age to ward off breast cancer. Female descendants should beware of the family history since her daughter, Margery, was also a breast cancer survivor.
Helen's death certificate indicates that she died in Natick, Massachusetts. I know of my own personal knowledge, however, that she had passed away while napping on her couch in her apartment at "Windyhill," Wayland, Massachusetts. The Natick location of her death apparently resulted from her being transported to a funeral home (hospital?) in Natick where her death was officially pronounced.
