Since it's always a good idea to start with the "facts", I've
put together the following information from deeds/landgrants/
wills which identify Carsons in the western part of NC
during the 1750s and 1760s. If anyone has additional
records/documents and/or could identify the modern county
where the land is located, would greatly appreciate the
information
