I am going to post again since it has been some time since my last
one. I am searching for my great great grandfather David Carson. I
have two different birthdates for him. The 1850 Federal Census for
Linn County Missouri states he was born in 1813 in New Jersey. The
1860 Census for Linn County, Missouri states he was born in 1820 in
New Jersey. I have not been able to find anything for either date in
New Jersey. I have the family all the way down to my great
grandchildren, but nothing beyond David Carson. He was married to a
Nancy Devoss who was born in either Indiana or Ohio and her birthyears
are off the very same as David's. 7 years difference. Now, maybe
some of you experienced genealogy searchers can tell me. Am I barking
up the wrong tree? Should I assume he was born passing through and
look in Pennsylvania or Delaware? Any suggestions welcome. One other
thing. After 1860, blank again. I cannot find any death record.
