what about this? Kit Carson's first daughter Adeline "Prairie Flower" Carson
was born circa 1835. Her Native American mother died and Kit sent her back to Missouri to
be educated in Catholic schools. Somehow she ended up in California in her early 20's.
She is supposed to have died near Mono Lake in 1861 after her husband George Stilts had
died in 1854. There is a listing in the 1860 for a young woman, listed as
"Mulatto" born in New Mexico. working as a "Courtesan" as follows...
could this be Kits 1st daughter?
