Hi Barbara and Carson List folks,
Results from recent trip to library and other work:
1860 Jackson County Census, Webster Tnship pg 315, dwelling 521
J. T. Carson, 32, land value 400
L (?) Carson, 37, F
W. T. Carson, 6, M
L. J. Carson, 4, F
J. Carson, 2, M
H. Carson 1/52(?), f
1870 Jackson County, pg 292, dwelling 36
Charlotte Carson, 48, F
William, 15,
Lydia Jane, 14
Julius, 11, M
Haseltine, 9, F
The Cemeteries of Jackson County, pg 49 Carson Cemetery
Charlotte Carson (11-27-1821 12-8-1913) w/o J. T. Carson
Rev. J. T. Carson (6-7-1858 7-24-1944)
Notes:
1. The Rev. J. T. Carson appears to be the SON of Charlotte (check the
age in Cemetery book and on census). I do not see a record of his dad's
grave. His dad may have died about 1860, since no children born after
Haseltine.
2. Lydia Jane married Joseph Queen, son of Alfred at Charlotte Carson's
on 3-4-1873 with W. T. Carson as witness. I'm betting that this was
Charlotte's SON W. T. who would have been about 18. For some reason I
had always expected it was an older man. Anyway, in 1870 Charlotte (and
Lydia Jane) lived in dwelling 36; Alfred in #41.
3. John Cogdill with family, including daughter Matilda J. (age 4 in
1870) lived in house #39. Alfred's son, Samuel Queen, married Matilda,
age 14, on 8-11-1880 at John Cogdill's.
4. Thomas Stiles with family, including son Isaac E.(age 17 in 1870)
lived in house #40. Alfred's dau, Martha, married this young man on
3-31-1874 at Mary Queen's with J. H. Queen and W. T. Carson as
witnesses.
5. Levi Wood with family, including son A. J. Wood, age 12, in 1860
Jackson County census, pg 292. The age is about right for the Anda Jack
Wood who married Alfred's daughter, Arta on 12-10-1885.
6. Probably totally unrelated to all this, but looking at 1850 Cocke
County census again: Drucilla Carson, age 52, head of house family
#1179. In House 1181 is Andrew Carson, age 30, married with children
including daughter, Drucilla, age 3.
7. And, as fate would have it, there is a Solomon Messer, age 48 in the
1860 Jackson County census, pg 279.
Comments, anyone?
