Here's an interesting tidbit regarding our conversation about Robert's father,
David, having been married twice. As we have mentioned, family lore says he lost his
first wife to Indians. And, we can document that his second wife was Elizabeth Beatty
(note the will of Elizabeth's father, Robert Beatty, transcription posted at
http://trees.ancestry.com/tree/54994970/person/13749302201/media/1?pgnum=...).
Thus far, then, we believe that David Carson had children:
by first wife, ?? , Robert (b. 1762), James (b. 1768), George (b. 1771), and Mary Ann (b.
abt 1774).
by his second wife, Elizabeth Beatty, Hiram (b. 1785), Rachel (b. 1788), and David.
Here is the tidbit I'd like to hear feedback about:
LDS Record for James BATY Carson, Christening Jun 1768, Forks of the Brandywine, Father,
David Carson. ["Pennsylvania, Births and Christenings, 1709-1950," index,
FamilySearch (
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/V2V7-T9X : accessed 07 Aug 2013),
James Baty Carson, Jun 1768.]
Does anyone besides me think that this suggests that David's FIRST wife was also a
Beatty??
