Well, Gary, that is enough to convince me that we are definitely connected by these NC Carsons. Actually, the only one that means anything to me is the one that connects John Carson with Hiram Dillingham. There are 2 Hirams. The first was the only KNOWN brother of Absalom Dillingham, my William Carson's father-in-law. When I looked up Hiram in the Dillingham book I also found another bit of Carson data that previously escaped my notice, i.e. the Carsons settled in Buncombe Co. in 1806. "An original land grant issued by the state of North Carolina to James Carson, with the survey attached, contains the name of Absalom Dillingham as chain bearer for the survey. It is dated 1806. Carson entered the tract, two hundred acres on both sides of the Rye Cove Branch of Big Ivy, on 3 January 1806." Back to Hiram, he is listed in the Buncombe County census for 1810 and 1820. He moved to Rabun County, GA in 1821 and died there between 1860 and 1870. John Carson, son of James S!
r. and brother of my William, also moved to Rabun County, GA. I don't know when, only that he was there in 1843 when he wrote to William about their brother James' estate. Absalom Dillingham also had a son named Hiram but he was not born until 1805 and he is believed to have died before 1830. I was inclined to think that your finding must be Hiram the brother of Absalom rather than Hiram the son. However, the older Hiram and John Carson, brother of William, were of two different generations. Unfortunately, no other information is available about Hiram the son. The only factual data available on him is his name and birthdate in the family Bible and the fact that he died young, probably before 1830. So one other possibility comes to mind and that would be if the John Carson in this record is actually an uncle to my William which would put him in the same generation as the elder Hiram Dillingham. Are you still with me?! Bottom line is that I think that the Dillingham !
connection and the Rabun Co. GA connection is pretty solid as far as c
onnectiing our Carsons. One other thing, I just noticed that Absalom and Rebecca Dillingham lived for 2 to 5 years TN. In fact, that is where William Carson's wife was born. I never noticed that before. I am going to go back and read this early part of the book again to see if I can find anymore information that I might have read and forgotten long before I started in genealogy. I got the book in 1978 and have read a lot of it but it was many years ago. Unfortunately, it is well over 800 pages so much of it has slipped by me over the years. I will get back to you with what I find.
Gary,
Do you know if your Carson line was in Virginia earlier than their stay in
N.C? I have an Isaac Carson who had a daughter Jane married Robert McCauley in
1794 Augusta Co. I can't get any further back than this Isaac. Jackie

Susan,
I found some more Carson names in Haywood Co TN. As you recall, my David Carson was in Buncombe 1800, 1810, then in Haywood NC 1820. I'm trying to determine if these are in my line or your James line in Buncombe. I'm posting online in case others have some hints.
Let me know if these ring a bell.
Thanks,
Gary
