Attached is my summary of the Probate File No. 139 of the Madison Co
Proabte Records 1828-1885.
I am interested in this Carson family because of the possible connection to
Elbert Hillard Carson, b.1854, MS. I have not clearly established who his
father is, but I believe it is S.R. Carson, who is in the 1870 census of
Yazoo Co, MS:
1870 Yazoo Co, MS SHT 317, ln 37
Carson, S.R. 51 MS
Evaline 53 KY
Margaret 20 MS
Albert 14 "
Carson I or J 12 LA
This is not the same S.R. Carson, who is listed as an heir of Robert
Carson, who died in 1867. That S.R. Carson was the son of McClellan
Carson. His name was Simeon R. Carson. Adding to the probability of a
connection is the fact that Simeon R. Carson married Miss P.F. Denson, 20
Jun 1881, Rankin Co, MS. Also Elbert Hillard Carson married Mary Presley,
7 Jun 1881, Rankin Co, MS.
Appreciate any help in figuring out these connections.
