From the immigration records, their names and ages at the time: Hugh Carson - 40 Margaret Carson - 44 Jane Carson - 21 Margaret Carson - 19 Jannet Carson 17 Mary Carson 15 Elizabeth Carson 12 William Carson 9 Hugh Carson 7 James Carson 4 There are several transactions for land bounties involving many of these family members (350 acres for Hugh, 100 ea for Margaret, Jane, Margaret, Janet and Mary). I'm still trying to plot exactly where it was, but seems to have been in Berkeley Co. at the time, and the Saluda River and Kings Branch (or Kings Creek) are also mentioned. I believe the younger Hugh was living in the Edgefield area by the early 1800's and can be found in lists of buyers at some early 1800's estate sales (including the 1815 estate sale of Fanny Satcher, one of my ancestors), and he appears on the 1820 census there. He also appears on a list of members of the Dry Creek church, which I believe was in Edgefield at the time but falls in Saluda Co. now. My earliest known Carson ancestor married Nancy Bruce, granddaughter of the Fanny Satcher whose estate sale Hugh had purchased from. Hugh also had a couple of land transactions with the Satcher family. I am trying to fill in Hugh's family tree in order to see if my James (born 1803 in SC) may be related in some way. Any information on any of this line, especially the younger Hugh, is much appreciated. If you have run across any information, no matter how small it may seem, anything at all could help. I need any leads I can get.

Do you have a male Carson available from your line? Any known from Hugh's line? A descendant of a John Carson who migrated to Charleston, SC about that time has had their DNA done. http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/c/carson/pats.html Best regards, Stephanie [email protected] --- "[email protected]" <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm searching for any information on the family of > Hugh Carson who came from Belfast to Charleston on > the Chichester in 1767/68.
