There is a slight possibility that they came from Casey County, Ky. The 1840 Kentucky,
Casey, Liberty; has a Robert Carson with the following: 1 male under 5, 1 male between 5
& 10, 1 male between 10 & 15, 1 male between 40 & 50, 1 female between 5 &
10, and 1 female between 30 & 40.
I think this might be the right family because the father's name is Robert. See if
the following makes sense to you.
R. B. Carson married Mandala Harrison in 1862. They had a son named Robert G. who had a
son named Robert L. So, I am guessing/hoping/jumping to a possible conclusion that the
male under 5 in the 1840 census is R. B. and the R stands for Robert. (I am ordering the
Kentucky microfilm to check). Since the sons were named Robert, I am guessing/hoping that
the father in the 1840 census is the correct Carson.
What do you think??
