This is interesting as my great grandfather was Charles Jefferson Carson, born in South Carolina. He is buried in Toliver Cemetery in Comanche Co., Texas (which borders Hamilton & Erath counties). Family has always been told that the J. Carson buried next to him is one of his brothers and that his full name was James. ----- Original Message ----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com To: carson-l@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, October 16, 2011 10:47 PM Subject: Re: [CARSON] James Carson b.abt 1830 TN This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I do not know who the parents of James Carson are. I do know that Mary A. Carson was Mary A. Gilmore when James Carson married her. Mary was the widow of Stephen Gilmore. He died in Greene Co., MO, in 1864/1865. When James Carson married Mary Gilmore, she brought several children to the marriage with the last name of Gilmore. Mary's maiden name was Wardlow or Wadlow. You can find Stephen Gilmore and Mary A. Wadlow/Wardlow in RootsWeb or Ancestry.com. I can give you information on Armsted Carson, if you are interested. I personally know a cousin of yours. He and his wife live in Oregon. He descends from the Thomas C. Carson that is listed in the 1870 Federal Census. James and Mary Carson moved to Erath Co., TX. They might have died in Erath Co.. The son they were living with moved to another county in Texas, Palo Pinto possibly. James and Mary Carson were not in the household of their son in the 1910 Federal Census. I hope this helps.
