I descend from Samuel R. CARSON b.1824, MS. His parents were George and Elizabeth CARSON. George CARSON was born between 1770 and 1775 and is listed in the 1820 and 1830 censuses of Marion Co, MS; and the 1840 census of Pike Co, MS. His brother John CARSON b.1780, SC is listed in the 1830 census of Marion Co, MS and the 1840 and 1850 censuses of Yazoo Co, MS. I've ordered microfilm records from Yazoo Co, MS. If I find anything that might connect, I'll post it.
