Message Board Post:
I and some related researchers are looking for male Carson descendants of the Carson lines
from these locations in NC and TN to do the YDNA test.
My DNA results match parts of a Carson line from Lancaster PA. The first names are Moses,
Robert, William, James, Alexander, David, and John that came to Rowan NC c1760 and/or to
Orange/Caswell and then Washington/Greene TN. There were more than one with some of these
names.
A book written in 1935 by a descendant of William Carson, father of Lindsey born 1754 and
grandfather of Kit Carson, says that Moses Carson was William's brother, and Robert,
William and James Carson were their cousins. The other names mentioned were in this group
from PA. My DNA results match Moses line although Robert is probably my direct ancestor,
based on findings to date.
If anybody has a male Carson relative interested in doing a test, I'll share what
I've learned.
Thanks,
Gary Carson
