Your John Carson ancestor b1786 of Abbeville SC is interesting. My ancestor, David Carson born c1760 was a son of either William Carson Sr (married Margaret Woods 1760 Lancaster PA) or David Carson Sr (married Sarah Woods 1753 Lancaster PA). These Carsons along with Moses Carson and wife Elizabeth Hannah moved to Orange/Caswell NC 1760s then to Washington TN. Moses and my line are related (my DNA is an exact match with him and they all moved together). Moses and Andrew Carson administered the estate of Joseph Carson dec'd 1799 Abbeville SC. This Joseph was supposedly a brother of William Carson dec'd 1801 Abbeville SC (the one who married Margaret Mills). I'd like to figure out how the SC Abbeville family connects to my line. A John Carson born 1747 who came to SC from Ulster is also related to my line (based on DNA exact matches).
