JCarson1953,
I'd love for you to email me. I do have information on the southern Uriah's.
Yes, Uriah became a Quaker after he married Mary Cook. His youngest son, Uriah, however,
did not marry Mary Pugh/Pew. This is a common error. There were two Uriah's of the
same age who followed the same general migration. But one followed the Quaker migration
and that is your Uriah's son. He died in Indiana.
I descend from Uriah and Mary (Pugh) Carson, born in TN and died in Saline County,
Illinois, NOT a typical Quaker migration. Interestingly enough, DNA still puts us all as
kin. I suspect my Uriah is the son of Henry Carson, but proof of this hasn't been
found.
I have a scan of one of Amos' letters and would love to see the others. Sometimes
facts can be pulled from them, but of course some might be very wrong or just a little
wrong.
As to DNA, there are several tests on the Uriah lines and we even have one for the famous
Kit Carson (through his uncle Andrew's line), who sadly, is NOT related, or so it
appears. You need more tests to be definitive.
