Hey Dan,
Sorry...WHAT was I thinking?? My Carson Family settled in what is now Swain County, NC,
but came from Rutherford and McDowell County in the late 1700's. My GGG-Grandpa was
James Terrell (wife: Charlotte)...recently found out that he was in the Civil War and was
in a Prisoner of War Camp near Chicago, where he died and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetary.
His son was my GG-Grandpa-William Thomas Carson, a very famous blacksmith (wife: Harriett
Oxner Carson). His son was my G-Grandpa-John Lewis Carson (wife: Arzelia (Dellie) Carson.
One of their daughters, Nora, married my Grandpa-David R. Lindsay of Bryson City, NC. I
have many pictures and more history, but it must be typed over as my copy was from a copy
5 times over!! I do hope this helps and someone will be able to add more and more.
Thanks,
Daniel Lindsay--currently living in Marietta/Smyrna, GA
