Surnames: Carson Carson and more Carson's Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/DiH.2ACEB/1403.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Jonathan Carson 1792 M. Margaret Elizabeth Dittemore Charles Elmer Carson M. Armacinda Yeakley b. 1865 To make this even more of a mystry, there are perhaps 20 or more decendents of the Dittemore & Yeakley family that they have passed down the name Carson and I still can't figure out just where it came from. I also have a Cotter family that it is the samething in. All three of these families married back and forth into each other and frankly, I think the Carson family did too. There is also an Elizabeth Carson b. 1805 that married Henry Sandy. Do you know of anyone that is doing a Carson family tree covering all the lines they could find? I really really want to find them and their history even though it does not really relate to me. They just seemed to be a very important part of all these tree's. Linda
