I am researching the ASKEW family of Campbell County, Virginia, and am looking for
descendants of the couple referenced above. Elizabeth CARSON was named executrix in the
will of her brother, James ASKEW, in Campbell County in 1832, so I assume that she was
still living in the area. I found a John CARSON on the census in 1830, 1840 and 1850.
The latter shows that John was born c1781 in VA. His wife, however, is listed as
"Rhoda" (b. c1787 VA). Two children were also in the household: Josiah CARSON
(b. 1815) and Robert W. CARSON (b. 1825). A Thomas CARSON (b. 1821) was living "next
door" with the family of Elizabeth TURNER. If all of the census reports refer to
this family, there were two daughters who left the household before 1840.
