Hi, I think we've corresponded before, then I had a big computer problem.
Charles Carson, My G Grandfather, was born in Indiana, as was my Grandmother Lucy Carson.
I do know they did go to Kansas, and of course to Arkansas. I don't know why either. I
do have the info you mailed me on George Carson and his family, as well as the info on
Josephus and Paulina. Thanks so much!
I remember at one point one of my cousins said our Grandmother Lucy's middle name was
Letitia, but I don't find that anywhere in the Yancey family Bible pages I have. I
think she was probably confused with Lucy Letitia Stewart. My Lucy married Leander Ambrose
Yancey. You can sure see how the name Letitia came up through the family from the Wells
branch.
I do have a copy of census records from 1880 in Neodosha, Wilson, Kansas for Charles
Carson, wife Onah (Onah Isabell Cardell), Lucy, Joseph and baby Charles. I didn't see
George on there but it may be on another page.
I know there were a whole bunch of Carson's in Indiana. I'd love to go back there
sometime and do some snooping around. Living so far away from the "scene of the
crime" so to speak, makes it difficult to know if the information I am getting is
absolutely correct. That is one of the reasons I haven't shared my tree with the
internet, I don't want to put something out that might be incorrect.
Let's keep in touch.
