Information contained in the Will of William Carson,
written "thurtent day" of June 1808 and probated
July 1, l811. All the references in the will spell
the name Carsen according to the typed version but
it is filed Carson
Mentions his wife Susanna Carson and children:
William
Robert
Francis
Samuel (referred to as "old" son)
Mary
Jean
Marthew
Susanna (spelled Shusanna) Martin
In the estate papers, Susanna Martin's husband is
identified as Alexander. Mary is identified as the
wife of Walter Carson. William's wife is identified
as Jean and one of the sons married a Sarah where
the name of the son I can't read. Marthew married
someone with a first name of William where the last
name is not readable on the copy I have. Jean Carson
signs alone.
Pure speculation: The Walter Carson must be the son
of Walter Carson who was the brother in law of Samuel
Carson and Susanna. He was in the Rev War and died 1829
in York SC where we have a pension application naming
his wife as Mary and children Susannah, Abel, Jane, Mary,
William, Rebecca, Elizabeth, Salinah, Martha, Walter and
James Franklin. It also says that Walter was b. Apr 15,
1751 and has dates of birth for all the children.
The individual affirming the information is Jane
Carson, a resident of Clark County GA which includes
that they were married in York SC 1780.
