The page above is from a bible kept by the Carson family. Sarah Jane Redding married Irvin Enloe Carson in Henry County, TN on August 26, 1846. Sarah Jane was a daughter of Thomas Redding and Telia? Murrie Redding. (Sarah Jane’s grandparents were Charles and Deborah Murrie) Thomas Redding and his wife died young leaving five daughters and
a son. The four daughters whose names are known were: Mary Ann, Sarah Jane, Tabitha, and Deborah. It seems likely that the oldest daughter was Arbelia Redding. Another
possibility was Lexey Redding. The son was Thomas Redding (Reden). Reddings, Murries, Carsons, Hollidays and others moved to Massac County, Il. In the middle to late 1860s Green Murrie, Charles Murrie, Irvin Carson, and Thomas Redding left Massac County for Kansas. The 1870 census shows the Green Murrie family, the Irvin Carson family, and the Thomas Redding family living in Ottawa County, Kansas. The Charles
Murrie family could not be located. (Some of his children are shown living in Washington County, Arkansas in 1880) The Redding family lived in Orange County, NC before migrating to Henry County, TN.
