I'm a bit dubious about the Amos Carson letter because it's a bit sugar coated
with the poor Irish Brothers etc. Even the letters I have from Mrs. Carson contradict
what Amos says on many points. There are about seven letters from Amos Carson detailing
the family and he contradicts himself particularly in claiming members of the fanily that
died when they didn't and he also states Uriah Carson died after contracting small pox
from a British soldier so I have to have my doubts on some of his facts.
I'm very curious about dna, what did they match your husbands dna to to verify he is a
descendant of Uriah? The whole thing is very interesting to me but I have to be honest I
don't understand how they determine matches. Do you have to find a known descendant
and work from there?
