Message Board Post:
If you can find a male Carson from your lineage (with the last name Carson), he can do the
YDNA test.
A descendant of a presumed uncle of Kit Carson did the YDNA test. The results would show
any biological paternal connectsion to this presumed uncle (and/or other Carson
lineages).
As you noted, almost every Carson family has a legend of being related to the famous
scout, Kit Carson (Christopher Houston Carson). Kit's father Lindsey Carson was born
1750s in Rowan/Iredell Co NC (son of a William Carson there) and then moved to KY with his
apparent brother Robert (they married sisters) and was later in MO.
Other siblings of Lindsey Carson are (in my opinion) somewhat nebulous as to direct
evidence.
