Talk:Hamptonville, North Carolina

Kit Carson reference
Paragrpah 5, Early Village, makes reference to Kit Carson having passed thru Hamptonville as a child, on the way to Tennessee...But according Carson's Wiki article, he was born in Richmond KY, and his first move was to Franklin MO, which is NW of St Louis MO (in other words, an entirely different direction, even allowing for the different modes of travel in the early to mid 1800s where one had to follow waterways and wagon train routes - of which, none would take someone on that circuituous route through western NC !)....Is there a verifiable source for this anecdote? Thanks:) Engr105th (talk) 06:35, 6 December 2010 (UTC)


 * My concern above has been here almost a year with no comment, so I will remove the line that read "Kit Carson was said to have stopped at the well [in Hamptonville] for water while his family was traveling from Virginia to Tennessee.[6]". The reference listed (#6) is "An Illustrated History of Yadkin County, 1850-1980, by W.E. Rutledge Jr., Page 21"...


 * Again, Carson left Richmond KY at age one w/ his family and moved to Franklin MO. They didn't come thru Hamptonville NC; look at a map... It's remotely possible he traveled thru NC at a later date (he escorted several Indian chiefs to Washington DC in his later career) but that doesn't apply to that quote. The quote is indeed referenced (which is legit under Wiki rules), but at odds with other Wiki info (Carson's bio)...I believe either 1) the contributor that posted that tidbit misread Carson for another hero in "Illustrated History of Yadkin Co" Or 2) the author of that local history - WE Rutledge - got the wrong man...perhaps someone with a copy of the book could check??...Engr105th (talk) 00:53, 2 October 2011 (UTC)
