Correct, TN did not exist until later.
David Carson referenced in my 2005 posting (who was in Washington/Green TN 1780s/1790s and
Buncombe/Haywood NC later) was born around 1760 in either Lancaster Co PA or in
Orange/Caswell Co NC. Subsequent circumstantial findings indicate he was a son of Robert
Carson and Margaret Woods who married 1755 in Lancaster Co PA. Robert shows up 1760s in
Orange NC (the area on the S Hyco that later was in Caswell) and then 1778 in Guilford NC
on the Belues at the Surry Co border at that time.
There were 4 David Carson individuals in Washington/Greene TN 1780s/1790s. One was my
David (son of Robert Carson - Margaret Woods). The one listed as David Jr presumed (by
me) to be a son of David Carson - Sarah Woods who also moved to that area. Another was
David, son of William Carson and Margaret McCord. There might have been one more David.
One of them was referred to as "Little David" around 1794-1795 in tax lists.
