Were there any other surnames around James Carson born 1830 TN besides
Ward? You might also investigate the first name Armsted of his first son with
Hannah Ward as a possible hint. The Carson lines that came to TN (most came
from NC/SC/VA or PA prior) name their sons William, David, Robert, James,
Samuel, John, Andrew, Alexander, Matthew or George. You'll see Walter and
Daniel sometimes.
The James first name occurred in branches of my Carson line that came to
Orange/Caswell and Guilford/Surry NC 1760s. But it also occurred in almost
all of the other lines I've researched.
A unique first name is sometimes important.
