Hi cousin! I descend from Uriah Jr too. We're Uriah,
Uriah, John Harrison, John Washington, Albert Eugene,
Eugene, Kit, and me! So, I DO descend from Kit
Carson! Ha!
There is a myth/rumor that Uriah Sr was William Uriah
and a mysterious son of William of Ireland/Iredell, NC
who married Eleanor McDuff. You will find this
information EVERYWHERE but no one has any source to
back it up! Apparently a cousin has a Bible where
Uriah Sr was written as William. This was a Bible
written in after the fact and I haven't seen it.
Some have Uriah Sr married to Mary Ballard and again
this appears to be a mistake. He married Mary Cook, a
Quaker from Pennsylvania. He later was received by
the Quakers. When he died, Mary married Caleb Sumner.
Uriah did not have any other wives after Mary Cook.
Would love to hear more of your line, I'm always
looking for more Uriah Carson descendants!! Please
email me at steph_carson(a)yahoo.com and any other Uriah
descendants, it's been awhile since I've talked to a
bunch of you.
Your cousin, Stephanie Carson Feldman

This Carson died in Surry County NC. We are trying
to find out if this Carson is related to the Kit
Carson ancestors.
We are also interested in any information about
Uriah Carson in NC.
