I thought I would re-post my request for information on my Carson line.
I have been trying to find information on this line for awhile. Does
anyone have info to tie my Alexander Carson to an uncle of Kit Carson?
That is the family story....or enough info to eliminate the possibility?
The information I have on the Carson line follows with comments about
'holes' I am still looking for:
Alexander Carson's father should be an uncle of Kit Carson if the family
story is correct. From biographies of Kit Carson, I have come up with
three possibilities: Andrew, Robert, and Alexander. I have
corresponded with some of these men's descendants but have not yet
found a connection. And at least one source indicated the Alexander
that was Lindsey's brother probably died without children so that leaves
only Andrew and Robert...if this connection is true. Does anyone have
information on any Kit Carson relatives going to OH?

Another source listed Alexander Carson and Elizabeth's children as
follows: George A., Theodore, James C., Mary L., and Ellen M. I
believe this Theodore is the same as the William Theodore listed above
as some family records indicate he may have gone by Theodore at times.)
I have no further information on any of these descendants.
I will look forward to hearing from anyone. Thank you!
