I'll also email you on your yahoo address with this message. Your William Carson born c1801 was a son of David Carson born c1760-65 who lived in eastern TN 1790-1799 then in Buncombe/Haywood NC and Catherine Patterson born 1770-1772. I descend from William's brother Samuel Carson born 1804 and Nancy Queen born 1801. David died before 1830 and Catherine was still alive in 1830. David Carson appears to be a son of William Carson who died 1790 in Washington Co TN. William Carson and Margaret McCord married in 1760 Lancaster PA and apparently moved down to NC then to TN with some McCords. Their children were William Jr., David, Robert, John, Jeneat and Mary. Shadrack Carson born c1804 who was in Haywood 1830 was a son of a Robert (David's brother we think...could be a cousin named Robert). Robert Jr. who was in Haywood Co 1817 and Buncombe 1820 was probably another son of Robert's. Robert died around 1820 in TN. David's brother William Jr. may have been the one who died in 1796 Washington TN or one of the other Williams who died 1800, 1804, 1812 and 1818 in Washington TN. David and Catherine's children were Mathew born 1791 TN, Catherine 1795 TN, Ambrose 1798, Virginia Jane 1799, William 1801, Samuel 1804 and 2 more daughters born 1790-1800 and 2 born 1800-1810. Our Samuel went to Coryell Co Texas c1850 but got disillusioned and went back to Jackson NC. He and and Nancy died in Caney Fork. However, most of their descendants ended up in TX or CA except for youngest daughter Ester Jane Carson Parker (Jackson NC) and youngest son Matthew born 1838 who disappears after 1850. Maybe we can share trees and fill out some blanks. Thanks, Gary Carson Texas [email protected]
