Patricia, Margaret Carson married John Reed in Guilford NC 1779 (bondsman William Carson). She was born 1762 according to some family trees I've seen. I think she may be a daughter of one of my Carson line. In Lancaster PA, Robert Carson married Margaret Woods 1755, William Carson married Margaret McCord 1760, and David Carson married Sarah Woods 1753 and all moved from PA to Caswell/Orange NC 1760s-1770s along with Moses Carson - Elizabeth Hannah (a Woods inlaw). Robert then shows up in Guilford 1777-1779 near near some Woods and Hannah inlaws. There was also a John Carson near them earlier that is possibly connected. When William died in 1790, he mentions oldest daughter Jennet and second daughter Mary. He doesn't mention a daughter Margaret. I speculate Robert/Margaret might be her parents. All of these Carsons moved to Washington/Greene TN by the 1780s. In Guilford NC (Buffalo Presbyterian church) Mary Carson married James Bell and Elizabeth Carson married Thomas Bell. They both also moved to TN and were near the Carsons. The circumstantial findings suggest these were daughters of David Carson and Sarah Woods. They had a daughter Mary born 1756 back in Lancaster PA. They also had an oldest daughter Margaret born 1754 (too old to be the one marrying John Reed if she was born 1762). Gary
