The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Becky Ross
(rlr29(a)idt.liberty.com) for contributing this information.
>From "Kit Carson: A Profile for Heros" Page 2: "Eleanor's three eldest sons
were drawn into the American Revolution, serving under General Wade Hampton.
After the war was over, Lindsey and Robert went to South Carolina. There
Lindsey Married Lucy Bradley, with whom he later returned to Iredell County,
where they lived until the urge to follow Daniel Boone drew them Westward."
(probably between 1773 and 1782) Page 3: "In 1793 Lindsey Carson loaded a
wagon with his wife Lucy, and their four children - William, Sarah, Andrew,
and Moses -- and followed where Boone had led over the uneven, rutted
Wilderness Road. Soon after their arrival in Kentucky a second daughter,
Sophie, was born. Not long after ward, Lucy died. Two years later, Lindsey
married Rebecca Robinson from Greenbrier County, Virginia. Six of their
children were born in Kentucky: Elizabeth, Nancy, Robert, Matilda, Hamilton,
and Christopher Houston. Kit came into the world the day before Christmas,
1809, making thirteen persons to share the log cabin Lindsey had built on
Tate's Creek in Madison County." Page 4: "In 1811 Lindsey sold his Madison
County farm and headed West." Page 5: "Lindsey took up land in the Boonslick
area, ..." Page 10: "Lindsey lost his life working at his endless project of
clearing land. One day in early September 1818, while he was working near a
burning tree, a flaming limb broke away and fell on him, killing him
instantly. He was sixty-four years old."

Christopher (Kit) CARSON
24-Dec-1809 Kit Carson was born at Madison County, Kentucky.
Kit CARSON lived at Old Franklin, Howard County, Missouri.
1826 The runaway 17-year-old Christopher ("Kit") CARSON on his first journey
with a caravan of traders bound for Santa Fe, New Mexico.
1834 Bent's Fort (Fort William), fur trade post on the upper Arkansas
established. A Bent, St. Vrain and Company party (with wagons) eastbound from
Santa Fe in the late summer traveled by way of Taos and Raton Pass to Fort
William; then came down the Arkansas to the Santa Fe trail--thus opening the
Bent's Fort branch of the Santa Fe trail.
May 1842 Bent, St. Vrain and Company's wagon train reached Missouri after an
April-early May journey across "Kansas" on the Santa Fe trail, from Bent's
Fort on the upper Arkansas. Kit CARSON (who brought with him his young
half-Arapaho daughter to be cared for and educated in Missouri) was with
Charles Bent on this trip.
May 1, 1851 "Kit" CARSON, who had left Rayado, N.M., on March 17, arrived at
Kansas (City), Mo. He had come in by way of Bent's Fort. CARSON's own
(later) account of the trip east was this: "I remained in Rayado till March
and then started for St. Louis, took with me twelve wagons of Mr. [Lucien]
Maxwell for the purpose of bringing out goods for him. Arrived at Kansas May
1. I proceeded to St Louis..."
June 1851 "Kit" CARSON, with 12 goods-filled wagons (Lucien Maxwell's), left
Kansas, Mo., early in June, for Santa Fe. The company consisted of CARSON, his
daughter, Adaline, his niece, Susan (wife of Jesse Nelson), and 15
employees--Jesse Nelson, a French-Canadian, and 13 Mexicans.
1856 Dictated his memoirs which were edited in 1968 by H. L. Carter, entitled
"Dear Old Kit."
Colonel in the Civil War.
1865 When Kit CARSON told the story of the Battle of Pawnee Rock to Henry
Inman while they camped in the Raton Range.
23-May-1868 Kit Carson died at the home of General William Henry Penrose at
Fort Lyon, Colorado. (Source: History of the Penrose Family by Josiah Leach,

Thanks for the Kit Carson tree.? I've seen several similar ones.? The?question and issue?(for me) is that?the generations prior to?William (father of Lindsey) have no data to back?them up.? William was probably born 1730 or so.? Lindsey born 1754 was his oldest son.? William did have a brother named Moses and cousins Robert, William and James, per a descendant's writings (written in 1935 by Mr. Cowles, who descends from Lindsey's brother Andrew Carson).
I have the will for William Carson?dec'd 1759 Rowan/Iredell NC that mentions his cousin William (executor) and brother Robert, so that part is fact.? He gives some things to his cousin William, so this has to be Kit's grandfather.? The William dying 1759 was young, having just a daughter Susannah who was a minor, and wife Marian/Murian.? The cousin James had a son named Andrew.? The James Carson dec'd 1775 Lancaster PA had a son James and brother Alexander. So, Alexander was likely a cousin.? I think this Alexander may be the one dec'd 1775 in Orange NC (will mentions wife Easter, sons John, James, Alexander and Samuel).
The YDNA results a descendant of Moses' son Andrew and my results match exactly, so the conclusion is that Robert Carson (the cousin) is the likely father of my David Carson ancestor.? Robert Carson married Margaret Woods 1755 and Moses Carson married Elizabeth Hannah c1762 Lancaster PA and were both part of Rev. John Roan's Presbyterian church in Paxtang.? They moved to NC around the same time.? In 1780, Robert and Margaret Carson sold land in Iredell that was deeded to them by Samuel Cavin, test. for William Carson's 1759 will.? David Black was also in the will.? So, this ties this Robert to that William and to Kit's grandfather.
John Carson born 1747 who came to Camden/Craven districts SC 1767 is also DNA matched to my results and Moses Carson's line.
A Thomas Carson born 1740 Scotland who came to DE then to Washington PA is a fairly close DNA match.? There are two other DNA matches that are similar in this bunch.
A Robert Carson dec'd 1765 Cumberland PA had goods and chattels deeded to Moses Carson.? This Robert apparently had no family or widow.? I don't know if he was a father, uncle, cousin or brother.
Capt. Joseph Carson dec'd 1789 Old 96th/Abbeville SC had his estate administered by Moses and Andrew Carson.? This Joseph fought in the SC militia under Capt Anderson.
James Carson dec'd 1807 Orange NC also is related to Moses.? I presume he was the son of Alexander Carson dec'd 1775 Orange NC (mentioned in the will).
It seems that Samuel Carson dec'd 1807 Iredell NC (connected to Robert there) also connects, based on the buyers from his estate including David Carson.
It's a challenge finding the data to sort this out.....any other info or hints?
Thanks,
Gary

>From "Kit Carson: A Profile for Heros" Page 2: "Eleanor's three eldest sons
were drawn into the American Revolution, serving under General Wade Hampton.
After the war was over, Lindsey and Robert went to South Carolina. There
Lindsey Married Lucy Bradley, with whom he later returned to Iredell County,
where they lived until the urge to follow Daniel Boone drew them Westward."
(probably between 1773 and 1782) Page 3: "In 1793 Lindsey Carson loaded a
wagon with his wife Lucy, and their four children - William, Sarah, Andrew,
and Moses -- and followed where Boone had led over the uneven, rutted
Wilderness Road. Soon after their arrival in Kentucky a second daughter,
Sophie, was born. Not long after ward, Lucy died. Two years later, Lindsey
married Rebecca Robinson from Greenbrier County, Virginia. Six of their
children were born in Kentucky: Elizabeth, Nancy, Robert, Matilda, Hamilton,
and Christopher Houston. Kit came into the world the day before Christmas,
1809, making thirteen persons to share the log cabin Lindsey had built on
Tate's Creek in Madison County." Page 4: "In 1811 Lindsey sold his Madison
County farm and headed West." Page 5: "Lindsey took up land in the Boonslick
area, ..." Page 10: "Lindsey lost his life working at his endless project of
clearing land. One day in early September 1818, while he was working near a
burning tree, a flaming limb broke away and fell on him, killing him
instantly. He was sixty-four years old."

Kit CARSON lived at Old Franklin, Howard County, Missouri.
1826 The runaway 17-year-old Christopher ("Kit") CARSON on his first journey
with a caravan of traders bound for Santa Fe, New Mexico.
1834 Bent's Fort (Fort William), fur trade post on the upper Arkansas
established. A Bent, St. Vrain and Company party (with wagons) eastbound from
Santa Fe in the late summer traveled by way of Taos and Raton Pass to Fort
William; then came down the Arkansas to the Santa Fe trail--thus opening the
Bent's Fort branch of the Santa Fe trail.
May 1842 Bent, St. Vrain and Company's wagon train reached Missouri after an
April-early May journey across "Kansas" on the Santa Fe trail, from Bent's
Fort on the upper Arkansas. Kit CARSON (who brought with him his young
half-Arapaho daughter to be cared for and educated in Missouri) was with
Charles Bent on this trip.
May 1, 1851 "Kit" CARSON, who had left Rayado, N.M., on March 17, arrived at
Kansas (City), Mo. He had come in by way of Bent's Fort. CARSON's own
(later) account of the trip east was this: "I remained in Rayado till March
and then started for St. Louis, took with me twelve wagons of Mr. [Lucien]
Maxwell for the purpose of bringing out goods for him. Arrived at Kansas May
1. I proceeded to St Louis..."
June 1851 "Kit" CARSON, with 12 goods-filled wagons (Lucien Maxwell's), left
Kansas, Mo., early in June, for Santa Fe. The company consisted of CARSON, his
daughter, Adaline, his niece, Susan (wife of Jesse Nelson), and 15
employees--Jesse Nelson, a French-Canadian, and 13 Mexicans.
1856 Dictated his memoirs which were edited in 1968 by H. L. Carter, entitled
"Dear Old Kit."
Colonel in the Civil War.
1865 When Kit CARSON told the story of the Battle of Pawnee Rock to Henry
Inman while they camped in the Raton Range.
23-May-1868 Kit Carson died at the home of General William Henry Penrose at
Fort Lyon, Colorado. (Source: History of the Penrose Family by Josiah Leach,

YES!!! You are sooo right. It was a very long day yesterday, I responded to many message boards--not to make excuses!! That is why COUSINS need to check each other's entries.
William T. Carson was a blacksmith and did the iron work on the Fryemont Inn in Bryson City, NC. Do you have pictures of William and Harriett and/or James T. and Charlotte???
If I had taken an extra minute to think, I would have caught it myself...my Grandmother Lindsay's name was Charlotte Nora Carson Lindsay!! I sent Gary Carson the entire line last night...sent correctly--except for adding some more names to Grandma's sister's names. For some reason they left off my G-Grandpa John Louis and Delia Jones Carson and family. I will send you the same info that I sent Gary.

I have some pictures of some daughters (in old age) of Samuel Carson b1804.
They were born 1820s-1830s and would be cousins of James Terrel Carson.

William Carson born 1801 and Lydia Crawford were the parents of James Terrel Carson. William Thomas Carson would be a grandson of this William born 1801, believed to be a son of David Carson and Catherine of Buncombe/Haywood NC (my ancestors).

Do you have William Thomas and Charlotte Henson Carson mixed up? I have them both born in 1854, he being the SON of James Terrell (1828-1864) and Harriet Oxnar Carson (1821-1913). I have census records references. Have I confused this family?
