Hi Jay,
Have you decided to do the YDNA test? The descendant of Thomas Carson born 1740 Scotland
died Washington Co PA doing the YDNA test was Rich Carson....I think he still lives in
that area of PA.
The I haplogroup Carson line to which Thomas Carson belongs shows up first show up in the
US included New Castle Co DE, Chester Co PA, Lancaster Co PA, Cumberland Co PA and Chester
Co SC. The matches in that lineage (6 or 7 branches) suggest a common ancestor probably
in the 1600s in Scotland, via N Ireland in some cases. There are at least two other
branches off of the same I ancestor that diverge some in matches although we share a
common Carson paternal ancestor further back.
Interestingly, there is another Carson line in Chester PA in the R haplogroup that is not
at all related to our I haplogroup.
Let me know if/when you do the YDNA.
I'm trying to get other Carson lines in DE, PA, VA, NC and SC 1700s to do the
YDNA....might help us sort out our varios lines.
Gary Carson
