This particular Carson line is the only one from the Nordic haplogroup, and all are an exact match so far. This Andrew Carson was a son of Moses Carson born c1737 who married Elizabeth Hannah in Lancaster PA. Moses along with William, David and Robert Carson (all born 1730s married 1753-1760 in Paxtang, Lancaster PA) moved together from Lancaster PA to NC 1760s-1770s then to Washington Co TN 1780s (or at least Moses, David and William moved to TN per deeds). My David Carson ancestor born 1755-65 was a son of one of them (William and David Sr both had sons named David). My David was in eastern TN from 1793-1798 or so. Then he moved back to NC 1799. David Carson (the one in you line) shows up in Blount Co TN 1797. There was also a Little David who shows up in Washington TN c1795 and may be the one who died there in 1811. The older David Sr. seems to have sold his land and left the county. If you had a male Carson to do the YDNA (even a 12 marker) that might confirm a connection or otherwise. This groups seems to be related. Thanks, Gary Carson
