Mary,
My Carson ancestor David Carson (wife Catherine) born 1755-65 lived in eastern TN
1780-1799 then in Buncombe NC. He named a son Ambrose Carson (born c1800) who later was
in GA, TN and AL then in AR TX. He had a son, grandsons etc. named Ambrose (ended up in
TX, AZ CA).
One theory is that David's parents were William Carson (born c1730s PA) and Margaret
McCord. They supposedly ended up in NC/TN or that area. Margaret had an uncle and a
brother named Ambrose and I think a cousin. They were in the same Washington/Greene
county TN area as David Carson.
Have you researched the Carson/McCord connections? There were some others who married.
