Author: josettemaxwell Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.carson/1340.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: The line of Samuel Carson is well researched. There is, however, some confusion in the Carolinas between the Samuel Carson line and the John Carson line (John came from Franklin County PA first to York SC then to Rutherford County NC. This John Carson was the son of Walter and Agness Carson of Menallan, Adams Co. PA. There is proof that Samuel Carson m. Jane and Walter Carson m. Agness were blood relatives but not whether brothers or cousins. The names of their children are almost identical. And, two of the children of Walter m. Agnss as well as almost all the children of Samuel m. Jane moved either to North or South Carolina. Samuel was in Chester County by 1724 and Walter by 1729 (tax rolls). I have info on almost all of the children of Samuel and John if anyone is interested. josetemaxwell@bellsouth.net Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
