Hi Timothy,
James Terrell Carson born 21 Apr 1828 Haywood Co NC married Charlotte Henson
and lived in Jackson Co NC. Their children were Rhoda Magdalene 1853,
William Thomas 1854, Lydia Jane 1856, Julius Thaddeus 1858, and Haseltine E.
Carson 1860. William Thomas married Harriett Oxner and had childen John E. 1874,
Mary M. 1876, Julius H. 1877, Martha C. 1880, Hester R. 1882, James R. 1884,
Margaret Jane 1885, Laurena M. Carson, Harriet Octavia 1890 and George W.
1892. I don't have details on where these descendants ended up I haven't traced
the other siblings' lines yet (or I haven't typed them into the family tree
yet).
James Terrell Carson was a son of William Carson born 1801 (son of David
Carson - Catherine Patterson) and Lydia Crawford. William was a brother of
Samuel Carson born 1804, my ancestor, who married Nancy Queen. David and
Catherine's children included (based on findings) Robert born c1789, Matthew born
c1791, Catherine 1795, Virginia Jane 1797, Ambrose 1798, William 1801, Samuel
1804, plus 4 more females born 1790-1810 were listed in the household at
various times.
My direct Carson lines went to GA, AL, AR, TX and CA. As far as I know, the
AR line all went to TX, then some went to CA. The only one staying in AR
was Shadrack Carson born c1812 (son of Matthew or Robert..not sure which), but
he only had one daughter, Lydia, as far as I know, who married William Spence.
Regarding the connection to Kit, that's an ongoing mystery. All I know is
that a book written in 1935 by a descendant of Kit's uncle says that Kit's
grandfather William was a brother of Moses Carson, both of whom moved to NC from
PA c1750s, and their cousins were Robert, William and James born c1730s.
This Robert mentioned would be the father of my David, per findings. Moses
descendants and my DNA are exact matches, which supports this information.
Let me know if I can assist....it's a challenge I know.

Hello, Gary:
My name is Timothy Terril Rupp. I was born Timothy Terrell Carson. I was
adopted by the Rupp family.
My Grandfather was: James Carson, married my Grandmother: Alice Hill. They
gave birth to my mother; Leona M. Carson in 1908, in Shawnee, Ok. My
grandfather was born in 1880 or 1881, either in Texas or Ark. My grandmother was
born in Nebraska on Dec. 18, 1887. While they were living in Shawnee, Ok.,
they had a roomer named Kit Carson. He would have been born around 1886, also
in Arkansas or Texas.
I noticed that there was a James Terrell Carson in your message, and
wondered if you had any additional information on him. My mother always contended
that we were related to the "Kit Carson".
Any info would be appreciated..
Tim
