David Carson married Marey (Mary) Burk in Washington County TN on 26 Apr 1794. My research
indicates that Mary was the daughter of James Burk Jr and wife Amey. Following James'
death in Aug 1776, Amey married my ancestor Samuel Tate, apparently in Surry County NC
about 1777, and they moved to Washington County NC, which was to become TN in 1796. Samuel
Tate served on the first grand jury in Washington County in 1778. Assuming this was the
first marriage for both David and Mary and using ages 18 for Mary and 21 for David puts
Mary Burk's birthyear at 1776 (indicating she was the last child of James Burk Jr) and
puts David Carson's birthyear at about 1773.
Would like to exchange information with you about the Carsons.
