Yes, I've checked those census records as well as agree with you that it's the
same James Carson.
My grandmother constantly talked about her father (John Gay Carson) saying that we were
related to Kit Carson (I know - lots of Carsons think this) but I heard about it so often,
then upon seeing a picture of Kit in Taos, my mother was quite shocked at how much my
great uncle resembled him. So - for this very thin reason - I do believe that James is in
the same lineage that Kit was. But there are so many directions that line goes, it is
taking lots of patience to wade through it.
