I have read the Carson - Bent - Boggs material (see below), but I could find no supporting documentation for the claim that my David Carson is the son of the Samuel Carson who left the will in York Co., PA. I am pretty sure that I have accurate information on the descendents of the David Carson of Abingdon, VA. (For an overview, go to www.theRadkes.com and click in Carson Family Reunion.)
