These are my ancestors who seem to connect to Lancaster PA Carsons (William, David, Robert and John) who moved to NC then to Washington TN (the my David moved back to NC by 1800). In you posting, you mentioned Walter Carson going to Camden SC 1780. I recently completed the YDNA test and connect (perfect match) to a John Carson who came directly to SC 1767 (Craven district) and to a PA Carson line that connects to the Lancaster line of Alexander Harvey Carson. My assumed Carson line moved to Caswell/Orange (and possibly Guilford) NC 1770s, then to TN 1780s. The known first names included David, William, Robert, John, Moses, James, Alexander (brothers or cousins) and probably Samuel and Thomas as well. Do any of these connect to your lines? I'm trying to sort out the SC and PA origins. Thanks, Gary
