A photograph from September 7th, 2013 of Jerry Kirkpatrick standing next to A.C. Carson's grave. Adam or Andrew C. Carson was the son of Letitia and David Carson. He was born in September 1849 in Benton County, Oregon and lived with Letitia in both her Benton and Douglas County homes. He rests in Stephens Graveyard, Myrtle Creek, Oregon. Benjamin Stephens had a Land Claim nearby and the cemetery is named for him and was on his property. He likely had a relation to Letitia and Jack, giving her and her family major tombstones and prominent positions in his graveyard.
