Hi Crystal,
Catherine Carson born 1795 (TN) who married Elijah Chastain (the minister) was the
daughter of David Carson born 1755-65 and Catherine (last name probably Patterson). The
family moved to Buncombe Co NC 1800-1810, then were in Haywood NC 1820. Catherine's
brother Samuel Carson born 1804 Buncombe NC was my ancestor.
Findings indicate that David Carson was a son of Robert Carson and Margaret Woods who
married Oct 31, 1755 in Lancaster Co PA (Paxtang Township). They moved to Orange/Guilford
NC, then to Washington/Greene Co TN.
Catherine's sister, Virginia Jane Carson, married James Lafayette Chastain, a son of
Elijah Chastain by a previous marriage. Elijah divorced his first two wives. Catherine
Carson was his third wife, married c1817 Haywood NC.
Email me at gkcarson(a)aol.com to compare findings.
Thanks,
Gary
