Have you considered doing a YDNA test? If you're a male Carson (with
surname Carson), it can help sort out which related Carson lines (and
eliminate dead end lines that are not related).
I did the test, and it helped me in my researc. There are two major
Carson lineage groups, one being Western European (the R haplogroups) and
the other being "Nordic" (I haplogroups). Both Carson haplogroups
originate in Scotland, branches of both went to Ulster/Northern Ireland,
and branches of both went to the same states/provinces in the US and
Canada. So, there are Carson families in the same county that are not in
any way closely related, as the probability of a common ancestor between
these two groups is thousands of years back.
The other dilemma is that both groups used many of the same first names
for their children.
