Anyone know of a Edward Carson and wife Nancy Thompson as parents of Francis Lousania (known as "Lou" Carson, female, born ca 1849); Bill, Bob, George, Sim, and Ellen? Edward and Nancy were of Alabama. He died while enroute to Arkansas via wagon train. They were supposedly "black dutch." Sim Carson was alleged to be some sort of "Indian agent" in the Oklahoma Territory. This family was also supposedly some relation to Kit Carson. Don't know how or if it's even true. I have proven known of this. It's all some "new" information that arrived in the mail today from a distant cousin. Have no records to provide further details. The death cert of Lou Carson's daughter Emma (Eldridge) Carothers, listed Lou's place of birth as Chattanooga, TN. Thank you, Mary
