I am related to the Carsons and Scotts of Waterloo. Robert N Scott, b 1854 d 1909 married Mary Elizabeth Carson. They lived in Hardin Co and died there but were buried in the Carson Cemetery a few miles from Waterloo. This is a very small cemetery in the boonies. A brother of Mary, Henry J Carson and his wife Isabella Waites are also buried there. The Carson Cemetery and Waites are a few miles from each other on secondary roads. Waites overlooks the Tennessee River downstream (as the water flows) from Waterloo and Richardson Cemetery. Robert N Scott's father, John Scott b 1800 in NC d 1884 in Waterloo also married a Mary Elizabeth Carson b about 1810 d 1842. John's second marriage in 1844 was to Harriet Ferrell Thompson, widow of Sam Thompson. Robert N Scott was the last child born to John and Harriet. James N Carson b 1835 d 1921 is buried at Wesley Chapel just south of Savannah, TN. He and his wife, Ann, b 1837 d 1929 are the parents of the Mary Carson that my g gf, Robert N Scott married. There was a third Mary E Carson b 1836, d 1910 who is buried at Waites. Other Carsons in the Waterloo area were Andrew, Job P and John F. I think that 9 Carsons are buried at Wesley Chapel. Would appreciate any information on Carson connections. The first Mary b about 1810 was born in NC. I have not been able to find out what county in NC she and John Scott came from. Where did the Carsons go? Did they go to Arkansas as did many others or to Oklahoma or___? Help! Bill Scott ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Hi Bill; I am glad to hear from you. I am sorry that I have been so long getting back to you. My father passed away and I have been out of town. And when I did get home, my Internet was out. I just finally got it back yesterday. Who does the third Mary E. Carson belong to? Maybe you can help me to fill in some of the gaps I have in the Carson family. There is a fourth Mary E. Carson too. She was born in 1874 and is the daughter of Andrew and Elizabeth Carson. Andrew is the son of James W. Carson and wife, Ann Haynes. This Mary E. Carson married John Bird. A lot of the Carson's migrated to Hardin and Dyer Co., TN along with some of the Scott's and my McClain family. I still have McClain family that live in Dyersburg and in Dyer Co. I believe that most of ours went to Dyer Co. Some did go to Mississippi Co., AR. My gr, gr grandmother, Mattie Rayburn McClain, married a Scott after her husband, John McClain, died. I have been trying to find out who the Scott was that she married. I don't suppose you have any idea who he could be do you? It is a great puzzle for me. They are all so intermarried. A lot of Henry James and Isabella's children went to Dyer Co and stayed. But some stayed in Lauderdale Co., too. I hope you don't mind, but I also forwarded your e-mail to a cousin, Glenda, who lives in Lauderdale Co., AL who is related by marriage to the Carson's too and is working on them also. Maybe we can all get them figured out together. Anyway, let me know what I can help you with and I will be glad to share what I have. ----- Original Message ----- From: ClinchRiverRuff@aol.com To: tnhardin@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 6:07 PM Subject: Re: [TNHARDIN] Waites Cemetery in Hardin Co., TN I am related to the Carsons and Scotts of Waterloo.

Hi Bill; I am sorry to be so long in getting back with you. My father passed away the Sunday after Thanksgiving and I have been out of town. I would love to exchange information with you on your Scott's too. My gr, grandmother, Mattie McClain, married a Scott and moved to Mississippi Co., AR sometime between 1900 and 1910. Do you know of any such marriage? I don't know if they married in TN or AR. I can't find a record of it. Mattie and her first husband, John Wilson McClain, are living in Hardin Co., TN on the 1900 census with their younger kids. Then she is in MS Co., AR with the last name of Scott on the 1910 census living with her older daughter and her husband. I would appreciate any help you could give. And let me know if there is anything I can help you with. I would be happy to send you what I have. Thanks a lot.
