There are two Peyton Carsons born about 1839 in VA.
1850 in Harrison County is William 43 VA and Nancy 35
VA CARSON with a lot of children, including Peyton 11.
In Gilmer County is P 38 VA and Ella 37 VA CARSON with
a lot of children including Peyton 12.
1860, no Peyton in Harrison but one in Preston County:
Peyton 22 VA and Elizabeth 17 VA CARSON and Elias S
3/12 VA CARSON.
Gilmer County has Peyton 47 VA and Anna 46 VA CARSON
with Peyton 21, added treat, it's written they were
all born in Augusta County.
1870 they're not in Virginia. #1 is in Champaign IL.
#2 is in Labette KS: Peyton T 31 VA and Mary B 25 IN
CARSON.
1880 #1 is in Iowa and #2 is in Kansas.
So the winner is #1! *grin* Your parents are William
and Nancy (likely Nancy).
1840 in Harrison County, VA
CARSON, William 0110 001 - 2110 001
1830 in Harrison County, VA
CARSON, William 1000 01 - 1000 01
He's the only Carson in Harrison County in 1830 and
there aren't any in 1820 so the trail gets cold.
Harrison County is now in West Virginia, but your
family was born when it was still Virginia.
There is a marriage for a William Carson and Bathire
Hall on 15/25 Jul 1826 in Harrison County.
