Gary,
I have been considering having the YDNA test done in about a couple of months. How long does it take to get the results?
I can trace my line back to Andrew Carson 1744-1799 of Lincoln (now Gaston) Co., NC. The descendants of Andrew's son James Carson 1779-1827 are very numerous in the Gastonia, NC area. They still own part of the land that was devised by Andrew's 1799 will and many are members of the Pisgah ARP Church in Gastonia. Pisgah, originally known as Kings Mountain Church, was formed ca. 1796 from a split of Long Creek Pres. Church (near Bessemer City, NC) and Beersheba in York Co., SC. Andrew Carson is buried at Pisgah's old cemetery.
I descend from Andrew's son, John Carson ca. 1765-1839. He is mentioned in Andrew's 1799 will and according to Bond Co., IL probate records he died April 1839 in Barry Co., MO.
Lincoln Co., NC Deed book 34, pages 431-432.
10 May 1832: John Carson, Ellener Montgomery and Jane Addams of the County of Bond in the State of Illinois of the one part and Hiram A. Lorance of the County of Lincoln and State of North Carolina of the other part Witnesseth that the said John Carson, Ellener Montgomery and Jane Addams for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar to them in hand paid by the said Hiram A. Lorance ... a certain tract and parcel of land of 100 acres situate in said County of Lincoln on the waters of Crowders Creek. It being the land that was bequeathed by the last will and testament of Andrew Carson deceased to his son William Carson and the said William Carson dying intestate said land descended to his brothers and sisters as heirs at law of the said William Carson deceased ...
In witness whereof we have here unto set our hands and seals the day and year first above written.

Test: Samuel Carson
State of North Carolina

Gary, could you please clarify the following, "Some Lincoln findings suggest a connection to Chester SC (Robert and Margaret sold land 1775 in Chester SC) that in turns connects to the same line."
My GASTON, McCLURE, COULTER, WILLSON, WYLIE, and RANKIN families were all located in the York, Chester and Lancaster Cos. area of South Carolina. My G. G. G. G. G. grandparents, Robert Gaston and Margaret Logan were married 24 Aug. 1756 by the Rev. John Roan in Lancaster Co., PA (Rev. Roan's Account Book).
I believe that Andrew Carson 1744-1799 may have been the son of James Carson who settled in Tryon Co., NC (now York Co., SC) ca. 1770. Some records suggest the family of James Carson moved from Cecil Co., Maryland.
‘South Carolina Will Abstracts 1774 – 1778’, Moore, Vol. 3, page 266.
Will Book TT, p. 579: 5 September 1777, James CARSON, Sr., Camden District. Sons: John; Andrew, lower end of land where I now live; James, part of said land, land called Bottom or Meadow ground; Thomas, part of said land; Samuel, remainder of said land. Son-in-law: Robert Howie, part of said land on S fork of Fishing Creek. Dau: Jean. Exors: sons Thomas and Samuel. Wit: Robert Ash, John Miller, William Ash. Proved: no date. Recorded: no date. [Recorded in Charleston.]
I believe also that the John Carson mentioned in James' will is the John Carson who died 1823-24 in Hardin Co., KY (matches your DNA).
According to an 1888 'History of Newton, Lawrence, Barry and McDonald Counties, Missouri,' "William P. Carson was born in Hardin County, Ky., in 1812, and is a son of James and Nancy (Phillips) Carson, who were natives of South Carolina." This James that married Nancy Philips was a son of John Carson. William Phillips Carson and wife Theresa (Evans) Carson were married April 3, 1834 in Warren Co., Indiana. Both are buried in Dover Cem., Logan, Aurora Twp., Lawrence Co., MO, which is approx. 14 miles southeast of Mt. Vernon and 25 miles southwest of Springfield, MO.
'Abstracts of Southwest Missouri Newspapers, Vol. 5,' Lawrence County 'Chieftian' issue of June 2, 1892:
"Marriage licence for W. P. Carson, age 81, of McKinley & Mrs. Jane Bass, age 80, of Logan. They knew each other long ago in Indiana."
John Carson purchased a 150 tract (adjoining the 640 acre tract of James Carson, Sr.) from Benjamin PHILIPS (prob. related to the Nancy that married James) in 1776 Ref: York County, SC Deed Bk. B, p. 196. Benjamin Philips and his brother-in-law, Thomas Rainey owned several tracts in the area. Benjamin's wife, Rachel Rainey and Thomas Rainey are children of John Rainey (wife, Rachel) who left a will in Mecklenburg Co., NC dated 8 Sept. 1765 (Will Bk. F, Pp. 111-112).
The John Carson of Hardin Co., KY was a Revolutionary War pensioner who according to his pension statement enlisted May 1775 (NARA muster roll says 24 July 1776) and served until the Fall of Charleston in the 3rd SC (Rangers) Regt. According to military records of the SC Historical Society this John Carson was born ca. 1749 in MARYLAND.
John Carson sold the 150 acre tract on the South fork of Fishing Creek on Feb. 25, 1805 to William and Andrew Carson (more than likely his nephews), Ref: York County, SC Deed Bk. F, p. 398. No wife is mentioned in this deed. However, on Jan. 5, 1805 John Carson and wife, Elizabeth sold Lot #1 on Congress Street in the Town of Yorkville (York Deeds Vol. F, Pp. 413-415). This lot had been purchased in 1803 from Col. Wm. Hill (York Deeds Vol. F, p. 200). This appears to be the approx. time that he moved to Kentucky. Hardin Co., KY Will Book D, p. 56 mentions Elizabeth as wife of John Carson.
