She never married but had one child Ephraim E. Carson b. Dec. 22, 1873 d.June 24, 1950. According to the 1900 census in Grayson co., Mary was living with her adult son's family and her birth was listed as Dec. 1845 NC. I can't seem to "find" her to trace her back further. Could some kind soul please check Grayson records to see if there is a death recorded on her, it would of course be after 1900. I'm not sure if she died there or not.
