Hi Jenny,
Robert Carson married Elizabeth Patterson Nov 25 1785 in Rowan Co NC (per NC
marriage records). This seems to be the same as the Robert you mention.
Can you send me a copy of Robert's pension application? My David Carson
married Catherine Patterson, probably in Rowan or Rutherford NC c1788. They may
connect given Robert also married a Patterson in the same location. And my
David had a brother (and cousin and uncle) named Robert.
Thanks,
Gary

also
not sure one of my postings made it through cyber space. What I have on
Robert Carson (aside from previously mentioned birth/death dates - November
20,
1753-April 1842) is that he married Elizabeth Patterson on December 20, 1782
and has at least 2 children: John (b. about 1798 in TN) and my Catherine
(b.
may 8, 1799). The marriage information was found in Robert's Rev. War
pension
file. Robert is buried in Sissom Cemetery. A kind gentleman send me a
picture
of his marker. Pension files also states that he was born on Greenbrier
River
in VA, near Englishes Ferry, lived in Washington Co., VA at enlistment and
in 1782 moved to Greene Co., TN for 1 year then on to Jefferson Co., TN for
14
years (1783-1797), then to Blount Co. for 12 year (1797-1809), then to
Warren Co., TN where he applied for pension on July 8, 1834.
Jenny
