    1. Re: [CARSON] CARSON Digest, Vol 1, Issue 19
    2. Hi Helen, I can't determine from your message what is being asked. It just sends a message requesting an update on Uriah. I've been researching the Carson line that moved from from Lancaster PA to Orange/Caswell NC. This is possibly the same line as the Uriah Carson line (if his father or grandfather was William of NC). David, William and Moses Carson moved to Orange/Caswell 1770s and apparently connect to Alexander and James who were already in Orange/Caswell. Alexander and James seem to be brothers. An older Alexander Carson's will in 1775 Orange NC listed sons John, Alexander, James and Samuel. The younger Alexander Carson is the one who died 1791 Orange, and James Carson died 1806 Orange NC (apparently sons of the older Alexander). Alexander (the younger) had sons named Robert and Samuel. James had sons named Robert A. and David. The older Alexander, Robert and John Carson arrived in Orange/Caswell 1755-1765. Robert seems to be a brother or cousin of David, William and/or Moses from Lancaster PA because Robert and David married Woods sisters back in Lancaster. Moses married a sister in law of the Woods sisters. These Alexanders and James likely descend from the Alexander Harvey Carson line. Have you had a male Carson relative do the YDNA test? My results suggest that these connections to this Lancaster group. My ancestor is one of those who moved down to Orange/Caswell (still sorting that out). Gary
