hi, I know this is a few years too late but I saw your posting. I am also related to Elmira Carson. My grandfather is Sterling 'Red' Bunch who lives in Michigan now but he was born in Kentucky. He told me the story about Kit Carson and how we are related. The "Smith" sounds familiar as my great-grandmother was 'Lola Smith (Bunch)'. She was a lovely woman. I miss her so much.I am only 26 and I did a reporton Kit Cason and did research on the same forum but no one actually posted information. it is odd because we are related to 'Kit Carson and yet no one knows that! ha! I have a lot of information in my 'genealogy' book I have been keeping info with.
p.s. I think I know who "Ann Bunch" is. I think that is my mother who posted this info. :)
BUT Elmira (or Elmyra) Carson did marry into the 'smith' family. Lola 'Bunch' Smith was born in Tennesse. She came to Kentucky when she married her husband Sterling Bunch (not my grandfather).
Elmira Carson is related to 'Kit' Carson. I have to look at my notes BUT I know that Kit is a direct cousin or was an uncle to Elmira. I can't remember but I know he is related. Heck, 'Kit'Carson looks soo much like someone in my family (as my teacher who was obsessed with Kit said in high school).
It is odd that no one has info on Elmira Carson.
