Message Board Post:
I would like to visit with anyone who is researching the Carson/McClain connection in Dyer
Co.,
Both families originally came from Lauderdale Co., AL to Dyer Co., TN.
James Durl Carson, born in 1868 in Lauderdale Co., AL. married Martha E.
"Mattie" McClain, born in 1871 in Lauderdale Co., AL on Jan 21, 1891 in
Lauderdale Co., AL. They moved to Dyer Co., TN sometime between 1904 and 1909. They lived
there the rest of their lives and are buried in Hurricane Hill Cemetery.
James was the son of either Henry James "Polk" Carson and Isabella Waits or
Samuel Carson and wife, Arminta Parlilee McManus. I have information from two parties that
have these two different sets of parents for James Durl Carson.
Martha McClain was the daughter of James Nelson "Nelson" McClain, born in 1841
in Lauderdale Co., AL and Nancy McDonald/McDaniel.
James Nelson was the son of William Nelson "Nelson" McClain, born in 1816 in TN
and Mary Brewer.
I believe that William Nelson McClain was the brother of my gr, gr, grandfather,
John/James McClain, born in 1812 in TN. I am looking for confirmation of this also. Their
father was a James McClain.
I am trying to find information on Martha McClain and James Carson's families,
siblings, parents, children, extended family etc. and I would appreciate any help.
Thanks.
Charlotte McClain Christensen
