My paternal
grandmother, Mary Deal's family has a 13-acre estate near Simm's
Settlement on the leeward side of Long
Island, Bahamas. My grandfather, Christopher Cartwright was born
on Long Island and sired my father, Uriah and four other sons in
Deadman's Cay. Chris moved to Delray Beach, FL with his sons. Two
died and three, Garfield, Carl and Uriah survived. Uriah moved to
NYC after his service years, where he and my Mother, Charlotte
Galloway from Pennsylvania, settled on Long Island, NY, in South
Ozone Park, Jamaica, NY. Sixteen years after my birth, I gave
birth to a son, Michael who was fathered by a Puerto Rican, Peter
J. Serrano, who also fathered my daughter Michele. Michael father
two daughters, Maelle and Sophia with his Haitian wife, Regine
Piquion. Michele has three children, Robert from Robert Logan,
Anthony from Keith Owens and Vernechia from Vernon Williams.
Robert fathered a son, Jayvian Glenn with Tiffany, an African
American.
