• Notes

  Died at home-JET Buried in old Carson cemetery on the Bier farm in Marion Co., Mo. "John Carson was a brother of Captain William Carson, pioneer in Missouri, and of General James Carson of Confederate fame. All three were sons of Simon Carson of 'Pleasant Green,' near Stephens City, Frederick County, Virginia. "Born June 4, 1794 [1796 according to his grave marker], John heard stories of the western frontier from his brother, William; and after his marriage to Sarah (Sally) Stephens in 1817, he and his wife became interested in following William. "In 1829 they set out with their (then) four children, one of whom later remembered a carriage with a black driver and a young, black nursemaid. After some time, the driver married the nursemaid, and she was known as 'Aunt Tin.' "The Carsons settled in Marion County, Missouri, four miles northwest of Palmyra, on a farm that is still called 'the old Carson Farm' Sally was known as 'a woman of unusual mental and physical energy.'" -- Bond, Marian Saunders. Some ancestors, p. 47.
