Uriah CARSON was born in Guilford County, NC (1743 or 1746) and died Dec 8,
1780, also in Guilford County. He was reported married to Mary COOK (some
say BALLARD) Nov 1, 1766, she being born in Pennsylvania in 1749 to Thomas
COOK and Mary UNDERWOOD. Uriah was a Quaker minister when he died. I am
looking for information on Uriah CARSON's parents and confirmation of wife's
maiden name. Quaker records indicate his wife, Mary (formerly COOK) married
Caleb SUMNER b. May 22, 1751, after Uriah's death (m. Oct 9, 1782, New
Garden, Guilford, NC). Some sources, which haven't been verified, have Uriah
listed as "William Uriah", brother to Lindsey CARSON ("Kit"
CARSON's father).
Lindsey's father is William (1715) and grandfather, Alexander Harvey
(1680's). Anybody with information on this possible link, or any information
on Uriah's lineage can contact me at leobasten(a)juno.com. Your help is
appreciated.
