The Kansas Heritage Server would like to thank Becky Ross
(rlr29@idt.liberty.com) for contributing this information.
From "Kit Carson: A Profile for Heros" Page 2: "Eleanor's three eldest sons
were drawn into the American Revolution, serving under General Wade Hampton.
After the war was over, Lindsey and Robert went to South Carolina. There
Lindsey Married Lucy Bradley, with whom he later returned to Iredell County,
where they lived until the urge to follow Daniel Boone drew them Westward."
(probably between 1773 and 1782) Page 3: "In 1793 Lindsey Carson loaded a
wagon with his wife Lucy, and their four children - William, Sarah, Andrew,
and Moses -- and followed where Boone had led over the uneven, rutted
Wilderness Road. Soon after their arrival in Kentucky a second daughter,
Sophie, was born. Not long after ward, Lucy died. Two years later, Lindsey
married Rebecca Robinson from Greenbrier County, Virginia. Six of their
children were born in Kentucky: Elizabeth, Nancy, Robert, Matilda, Hamilton,
and Christopher Houston. Kit came into the world the day before Christmas,
1809, making thirteen persons to share the log cabin Lindsey had built on
Tate's Creek in Madison County." Page 4: "In 1811 Lindsey sold his Madison
County farm and headed West." Page 5: "Lindsey took up land in the Boonslick
area, ..." Page 10: "Lindsey lost his life working at his endless project of
clearing land. One day in early September 1818, while he was working near a
burning tree, a flaming limb broke away and fell on him, killing him
instantly. He was sixty-four years old."

Santa Fe in the late summer traveled by way of Taos and Raton Pass to Fort

Bent's Fort branch of the Santa Fe trail.
May 1842 Bent, St. Vrain and Company's wagon train reached Missouri after an
April-early May journey across "Kansas" on the Santa Fe trail, from Bent's
Fort on the upper Arkansas. Kit CARSON (who brought with him his young

May 1, 1851 "Kit" CARSON, who had left Rayado, N.M., on March 17, arrived at
Kansas (City), Mo. He had come in by way of Bent's Fort. CARSON's own
(later) account of the trip east was this: "I remained in Rayado till March
and then started for St. Louis, took with me twelve wagons of Mr. [Lucien]
Maxwell for the purpose of bringing out goods for him. Arrived at Kansas May
1. I proceeded to St Louis..."
June 1851 "Kit" CARSON, with 12 goods-filled wagons (Lucien Maxwell's), left
Kansas, Mo., early in June, for Santa Fe. The company consisted of CARSON, his
daughter, Adaline, his niece, Susan (wife of Jesse Nelson), and 15
employees--Jesse Nelson, a French-Canadian, and 13 Mexicans.
1856 Dictated his memoirs which were edited in 1968 by H. L. Carter, entitled
"Dear Old Kit."
